The Dentascribe alternative with Clarification Mode and bundled clinical workspace.
Dentascribe is often described as "free" but the free tier is basic clickable notes only - real AI starts at £29/mo (Pro) or £39/mo (Ultra). At £40/mo Dentistry Dashboard gives you everything Ultra includes plus Clarification Mode, 70+ language support, treatment plans, patient packs, Direct Specialist Referral network, and the rest of the Dentist Zone bundle.
By Dr Stephen Nkansah · UK-registered dentist · Founder, Dentistry Dashboard
Clarification Mode
Only us. AI asks structured follow-up questions (with tooth chart and chips) when unclear, before generating the note. Catches errors Dentascribe would miss.
70+ languages
70+ language families across 140+ locales (manually selected from settings) - and any language on request. Dentascribe is English-only.
Bundled clinical workspace
AI Notes plus Treatment Plans, Patient Packs, Patient Media, Associate Finances, Portfolio, HR/CPD, Voice Perio Charting. Dentascribe is notes-only.
Why dentists switch from Dentascribe
For roughly the same price as Dentascribe Ultra (£39/mo), Dentistry Dashboard (£40/mo) adds substantial capability: Clarification Mode that catches AI errors before they reach clinical records (the AI asks structured follow-up questions with a tooth chart and chips when unclear), 70+ language families across 140+ locales (manually selected from settings, any language on request), Beautiful Treatment Plans with email + PIN patient sharing, Patient Packs (a complete reviewed treatment journey), hospital proforma exact-fill (DOCX templates), Direct Specialist Referral network, Letter Writing Style training, AI Rewrite Box, and bundled Associate Finances + HR/CPD modules. The £1/mo price difference is misleading - it is more like £1/mo for substantially more product.

What works
Clean UI. Templates aligned with CGDent guidance. Smart dictation on the Pro tier. Letter and consent form generation on Ultra. 1000-image clinical photography portfolio on Ultra.
What does not
The free tier is misleading - only basic clickable notes (no AI, no audio). Real AI starts at £29/mo Pro. Letters and consent forms require Ultra at £39/mo. No Clarification Mode. English only. No treatment plans, patient packs, hospital proforma, Direct Specialist Referral, associate finances, or HR/CPD modules.

Frequently asked questions
How does Dentistry Dashboard compare to Dentascribe?+
For roughly the same price as Dentascribe Ultra (£39/mo), Dentistry Dashboard (£40/mo) adds substantial capability: Clarification Mode that catches AI errors before they reach clinical records (the AI asks structured follow-up questions with a tooth chart and chips when unclear), 70+ language families across 140+ locales (manually selected from settings, any language on request), Beautiful Treatment Plans with email + PIN patient sharing, Patient Packs (a complete reviewed treatment journey), hospital proforma exact-fill (DOCX templates), Direct Specialist Referral network, Letter Writing Style training, AI Rewrite Box, and bundled Associate Finances + HR/CPD modules. The £1/mo price difference is misleading - it is more like £1/mo for substantially more product.
Is Dentascribe really free?+
For AI features - no. Dentascribe Free is basic clickable notes only (no AI, no audio, no dictation). To get real AI you need Dentascribe Pro at £29/mo. To add letters, referrals, and consent forms you need Ultra at £39/mo. The "free" framing is misleading.
Why pay £40/mo for Dentistry Dashboard when Dentascribe Ultra is £39/mo?+
For £1/mo more you get Clarification Mode for accuracy (the AI asks follow-up questions when unclear), 70+ language families across 140+ locales (any language on request), Beautiful Treatment Plans with email/PIN sharing, Patient Packs, hospital proforma exact-fill, Direct Specialist Referral network, Letter Writing Style training, AI Rewrite Box, plus Associate Finances and HR/CPD modules. The price is essentially the same - the capability is substantially different.
Is Dentascribe UK MDR registered?+
Dentascribe is not UK MDR Class I registered. Dentistry Dashboard AI Notes is registered (Rule 11, self-certified September 2025) - useful regulatory housekeeping but not the primary reason to choose us. The bigger differentiators are Clarification Mode for accuracy, multilingual support, Letter Writing Style training, Direct Specialist Referral network, and the bundled clinical workspace.
