Dentascribe has been the most useful dental tool I've tried. It really takes the pressure off writing notes and it's been a part of my every day practice for months. Would really recommend to any dentist - especially if you're struggling to finish off your notes and get home on time. Even my nurses love it and its user friendly interface!

Easiest dental notes software to use. Dentascribe has been super useful in helping me streamline my note taking efficiency and ensuring you don't miss out any of the important medical-legal bits. You can also customise your templates to make it truly personalised. Recommended especially for dentists who still copy and paste templates :)

Completely seamless software which makes my day to day as a dentist so much easier. The built in AI is something that is so useful and has altered my practice for the better. I don't know where I would be without it!

Amazing dental note-taking software! Has made dental note taking easy while still tailored to the patient as the template changes based on clinical findings. My nurse prefers it to conventional templates and finds it very easy to use. You're able to edit the templates as you like as well, could not recommend this website enough!

Dentascribe is the best digital note taking tool out there. It is swift to use, easy to modify to your needs and allows you to spend more time focusing and having those important conversations with your patients. The developer is continuously improving the software.

Why dentists switch to Dentascribe
"Having previously used Kiroku and Heidi, Dentascribe has been by far the most impressive and intuitive notes software I've found."
Dr Rory MacAskill
Dentist
"Generates excellent and usable summaries from ambient audio recording, and accurately picks up on dental-related discussions and terminology."
Dr Ugne Vijeikyte
General Dentist
"Dentascribe blends both Heidi and Kiroku. Hard to find a platform to have it all to perfection."
Dr Roozbeh Akhavan
General Dental Practitioner
Dental AI, done right
Heidi is AI note taking software made for all type of healthcare professionals. Dentascribe is made only for dentists, and its only foucs is on dental terminology, dental notations, dental specific standard like staging and grading, and the clinical language dentists actually use.
Structured like dental records should be by default
Whilst in Heidi, it is possible to get notes suited to dentists, it is not the default. Dentascribe comes preloaded with dental only specific AI making it simple to get started as a dentist. Dentascribe outputs notes in the format you'd expect to see in a dental clinical record.
Advised on cause of pain, advised on options: 1. Adjust fill - may or may not settle down, if pain completely resolves, that's good 2. If pain doesn't completely resolve, partially remove fill and investigate for fracture and remove, may fix problem, or make worse 3. If pain worsens or doesn't resolve after partially removing fill, RCT Pt happy to proceed with adjustment today, pt understands all the outcomes Advised to contact for emergency if pain worsens, may need extirpation if pt returns and clear irreversible pulpitis Or partial fill removal and GIC temp if investigating
Built around professional dental guidelines
Dentascribe's templates and AI are designed around professional dental standards. From periodontal scoring to consent documentation, everything is structured for dental practice, not adapted from general medical workflows.
Heidi pricing, and what is actually free
Heidi Clinician is £70 a month, or £55 a month billed yearly. Heidi says sales tax is extra. The free plan stays free: unlimited transcription on standard templates, with a small monthly allowance for advanced templates and custom documents. Dental templates are not the default. Clickable notes on Dentascribe stay free. Ambient notes start on Pro, and letters on Pro+.
No microphone to buy
Heidi also sells an optional wearable microphone, Heidi Remote, listed at £209 before tax on 10 November 2026. You do not have to buy it. Dentascribe listens through the computer already in the surgery, or any normal microphone.
Which one is right for you?
Stick with Heidi if...
You work across medical and dental settings and don't mind potentially larger setup as a dentist.
Switch to Dentascribe if...
You want AI that is dental-only out of the box and designed from day one only for dentists.
The best way to decide is to try them both. They both offer free trials and free plans. The information above is for guidance only.
