As Plum Dental Group expanded to two states, they faced several operational challenges. The executive team identified that their current dental software, Dentrix, was causing significant issues. They had to deal with complex server management and a lack of data visibility across their locations.
Solution
Plum Dental invested significant efforts in researching a suitable solution to cater to their scaling requirements. After extensive exploration and careful consideration of all options, they identified CareStack's dental practice management software as a viable solution, which they expect will not only standardize and improve their operations but also serve as a catalyst for their upcoming growth phase.
“Now…we have a clear view of the data across all our offices.”
As we were growing, we needed software that could show us the data across all our offices. We did not want to own or manage the servers ourselves, which we had to do with Dentrix.

CareStack’s Dental Software enabled Plum Dental to combine tasks across offices, streamline communication with users and patients, and employ robust analytics for practice management . These transformative changes propelled their growth, facilitating the addition of more locations seamlessly. Some key steps that ensured a seamless transition from Dentrix to CareStack:
-
User Training and Onboarding
-
Streamlining the Conversion Process

Ensuring a Successful Transition
User Training and Onboarding
1. Training Plans
CareStack’s training team worked with Plum Dental Group to identify user groups and create customized training plans for each group.
2. Self Paced Trials
Users were provided a trial environment to try and learn workflows by themselves and gain confidence.

Generic Training Plans don’t work. Training users specifically for their functional roles significantly improves their confidence and readiness to switch to a new system.
