Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Denticon

  • Planet DDS publishes no price for Denticon: the product page gives no per location fee, no per provider rate and no minimum, and routes buyers to a demo request or a sales phone call
  • The product is positioned for DSOs and multi location dental groups rather than single practices
  • Denticon is one of several Planet DDS products, so imaging and patient engagement come from separately sold products in the same portfolio

Softdent

  • Now supported as a Carestream Dental product (softdent.com redirects to carestreamdental.com); no pricing is published, only support and installation scheduling links
