The Dental Stack Audit
Nobody at your practice has ever written the whole software stack down in one place — what it costs, what actually talks to the PMS, and when each contract quietly renews. Four steps, about four minutes, best guesses welcome. You leave with a printable Stack Snapshot: total spend, an Integration Friction Score, a fix-first plan, the exact questions to ask vendors, and a renewal calendar. No vendor names, no scores of anyone’s product — just your stack, on one page.
Costs and renewal dates not at hand? Print the two-minute gather sheet first
The audit runs fine on best guesses — mark them ballparkand tighten them later. But if you would rather run it once with real numbers, print this sheet, hand it to whoever pays the bills, and come back when it is filled in. Costs live on last month’s card or bank statement and in vendor invoice emails; renewal months live in the order form or the “term” clause of each contract PDF.
Dental Stack Audit — gather sheet · dentistssoftware.com
One row per tool you pay for. Costs: last month’s card/bank statement or the vendor’s invoice email. Renewal month: the order form or the “term” clause of the contract. Connection: ask whoever uses it how data ends up in the PMS.

While you are asking around, get these five too: Does anyone re-type patient data between systems daily? Are two tools doing the same job? Could we export all our patient data ourselves today? Who last read a software invoice line by line? Did any outage cost us chair time this quarter?
Practice
Three facts that scale everything else — how many sites, how many chairs, and where your PMS actually lives.
