How much does SoftDent cost?

Carestream Dental publishes no price for SoftDent, and no third-party listing gives one either. As of Oct 7, 2026, the only way to get a figure is to ask Carestream Dental for a written quote for your practice's size. That is worth knowing before a sales call: without a published list price there is nothing to check a proposal against, so ask what the figure covers, what renews, and what it costs to get your records out.

Each line carries the page that claim came from and the date we checked it. "Included" means the base product or the cheapest paid tier. A capability with no line here is one we have not checked on SoftDent, which is a different statement from one we checked and could not establish.

Add-ons with a published integration

Each row is one add-on joined to SoftDent, grouped by the job the add-on does. The depth is the word the source uses, and the company named is the one that published the claim. A missing add-on means we hold no record either way, which is common: most add-on vendors publish a partner directory and most software vendors do not.
