Dentillegence vs
the Rest.
Great Labs, Evident, and Dandy each cover a slice of the dental workflow. Dentillegence covers all of it: lab, clinic, and aligner, at a fixed monthly fee. No modules sold separately.
Why Labs Switch
Fragmented Workflows
Great Labs handles cases. Evident handles some billing. Dandy handles outsourcing. None of them connect to your clinic PMS or aligner workflow. Your team re-enters data across three systems every day.
No Clinic or Aligner Module
Lab software has historically ignored the clinic and aligner side. If you run a clinic alongside your lab, or manage aligners, you need a second (and third) system that has no idea your lab exists.
Per-Seat, Per-Module Pricing
Great Labs and Evident charge per user seat and gate features behind tiers. Add a dentist portal? That's an upgrade. Add delivery tracking? Another module. The price you see is never the price you pay.
Dentist Portal as an Add-On
Giving your dentist clients a way to submit prescriptions online should be table stakes. For most lab platforms it's either missing, a paid upgrade, or a clunky third-party form bolted on.
Compliance Gaps
UK labs need MDR/DAMAS device statements, CQC-ready audit logs, and GDPR tooling. Most US-built lab platforms treat compliance as an afterthought, or leave it entirely to you.

What You're Actually Paying
Per-seat fees, module add-ons, and revenue cuts add up fast. Dentillegence is one fixed monthly fee. Nothing hidden.
Growing Dental Lab
8 staff, dentist portal, delivery tracking
Competitors
Great Labs: base fee + per-seat charges (8 users) + dentist portal add-on + delivery module = often £400-600/mo before support
Dentillegence
Dentillegence: one fixed monthly fee. Every module. Every user. No surprises.
Lab + Clinic Combined
Lab team + clinic reception + patient records
Competitors
Great Labs or Evident for the lab. A separate PMS (SOE, Dentally) for the clinic. Two support contracts, two sets of logins, data living in two places.
Dentillegence
Dentillegence covers both. One login, one dashboard, one monthly fee.
Aligner-Focused Practice
Lab manufacturing + patient wear tracking
Competitors
Dandy takes a cut of every case. As you grow, so does their slice. You're building their business, not yours.
Dentillegence
Dentillegence: flat monthly fee. You keep 100% of your revenue. Aligner module included.
