DentalPin review
A self-hosted dental system combining scheduling, records, treatment planning, and billing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
DentalPin is dental clinic management software for practices that need more than appointment scheduling. Its browser-based system combines weekly and daily calendars, drag-and-drop scheduling, conflict detection, patient records, odontograms, treatment planning, billing, payment tracking, and appointment reminders. It is especially suited to technical teams that want open-source software deployed on a clinic-controlled server, with web, API, and self-hosted access. Multi-location support, professional assignment, permissions, and a REST API extend its fit beyond a single scheduling calendar.
The self-hosted plan costs €0 flat and includes the whole product, public Docker images, and step-by-step installation documentation. The Managed plan adds installation and setup, updates and monitoring, backups, and support, while the Setup plan includes guided server signup, installation and configuration, and two hours of team training. DentalPin presents the core product as free forever, but managed hosting and setup use contact-sales pricing. Separately listed server and backup costs are infrastructure charges paid directly to Hetzner rather than DentalPin plan prices. Teams choosing self-hosting should therefore expect to handle the server deployment path themselves.
Its standout strength is the breadth of dental workflow coverage: treatment catalogs can include codes, prices, VAT types, and categories; budgets and estimates support approval workflows, signatures, and PDF generation; and the interactive odontogram connects treatment tracking with patient records. An optional AI copilot covers schedule, patient, recall, budget, payment, and reporting workflows. DentalPin suits practices and technical teams seeking a broad, API-first, self-hosted system. Teams prioritizing a simpler scheduling tool or a fully managed commercial deployment may prefer an alternative with less infrastructure involvement.
