Free dental clinic software
what you get, and the limits
Yes, there is free dental practice management software: Synora Free costs nothing, with no time limit and no card, and runs in your browser wherever your clinic is. It covers one branch, one treatment room, one staff account (the owner's own) and up to 50 patients, with the calendar, dental chart, invoices, patient files and on-screen reports.
Free for good. The free plan has no end date, and it starts after 14 days of Basic, free. Its limits are size (patients, staff and rooms) and the extra modules that come with Basic and Pro.
Is there free dental software with no time limit?
Yes. Synora's free plan is permanent, not a trial: it has no end date, needs no card, and works in the browser with nothing to download or install. Free dental clinic software here means one branch, one room, one account (the owner's) and up to 50 patients, with the calendar, invoices and the patient file. The limits are size; the extra modules are in Basic and Pro.
What is in Free, Basic and Pro?
This table comes from the plan catalogue the app itself runs on. Free is EGP 0; Basic is EGP 799 a month or EGP 7,990 a year; Pro is EGP 1,500 a month or EGP 15,000 a year, per clinic, not per chair or per user. All four plans, including Enterprise for groups with more than 5 branches, are on the pricing page.

On Basic, WhatsApp needs the clinic to connect its own WhatsApp Business number and a reminder template approved by Meta, and Meta bills the clinic directly. Pro can also send from Synora's shared number, with 1,500 messages a month included. The education videos are the clinic's own (uploaded or linked), not a library we supply.
Can a clinic in the US, Canada or the UK use it?
Yes. Synora runs in any modern browser, so there is nothing to install wherever the clinic is, and the interface is fully in English (or Arabic). When you set up the clinic you choose its currency, for example US dollars, Canadian dollars, pounds sterling or euros, and every price and invoice is shown in it; each branch has its own time zone, so appointments follow the clinic's local clock.
Be clear about what it does not do yet. Synora has no CDT procedure codes and does not send electronic insurance claims to US or Canadian insurers; its insurance module works out the insurer's share of an invoice and tracks the claim, but you submit the claim yourself. We do not offer a HIPAA business associate agreement. Teeth are charted with the FDI two-digit system, not the Universal 1 to 32 numbers. The free plan has nothing to pay; the paid plans are currently priced in Egyptian pounds and upgraded through us.
How the numbering systems map to each other: FDI, Universal and Palmer tooth numbering.
What is not in the free plan?
- The online booking page for patients.
- The WhatsApp channel for reminders.
- Dental lab cases.
- Insurance claims.
- Inventory.
- Report exports (CSV, Excel, PDF).
- Full data export (all of the clinic's data in one ZIP).
- The 3D dental viewer and scan viewer, and the periodontal chart.
Need a receptionist or a second dentist? That needs Basic or Pro, because Free is one account.
Who can use the free plan?
Free has one staff account: the clinic owner's own. In Synora every dentist who is booked needs a user account, so Free fits a dentist who owns the clinic and works alone: the one who is booked, and the one who records everything.
Adding a receptionist, an assistant or a second dentist needs Basic or Pro. An invitation needs a free seat, so on Free no invitation can be sent.
What happens when I reach a Free limit?
Everything you have recorded stays as it is: you can open it, edit it and keep working on it. Only adding a new patient, staff account or room beyond the limit stops, and the app tells you that you have reached your plan's limit.
The 50 patients are files, not visits: a patient who comes every month counts once, and a patient who stopped coming still counts, because the file is still kept.
Online payment inside the app is not available yet, so upgrading to Basic or Pro currently goes through us: send us a message with the form at the end of this page. The upgrade keeps the same account and the same data.
What if I stop paying for Basic or Pro?
You get an email reminder seven days before the paid period ends, and again one day before. If it ends without a renewal, everything keeps working for seven days of grace. After that the clinic moves back to the Free plan:
- No data is deleted.
- The paid modules are hidden, and come back as they were as soon as you pay.
- If you are over Free's limits (say 300 patients or four staff accounts), all of them stay; you just cannot add new ones.
How that data is protected and who can see it: data security.
Who is the free plan for?
- A dentist opening a clinic and working in the software alone.
- A clinic still on a paper notebook or Excel that wants to try software on its active patients first. The comparison in detail: a notebook, Excel, Access, or clinic software?
- Any clinic that wants to try Synora on real work before paying.
You will need Basic or Pro if anyone else needs to sign in (a receptionist, an assistant or a second dentist), or you need more than one room or 50 patients, or want an online booking page, WhatsApp reminders or lab-case tracking.

Questions about the free plan
Yes. Synora Free is EGP 0 with no time limit and no card. It runs in the browser, with one branch, one treatment room, one staff account (the owner's) and 50 patients, plus the calendar, dental chart, invoices and patient files. It is a permanent plan, not a trial.
No. Synora runs in the browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox), with nothing to download or install on your computer (you can optionally install it from the browser to the home screen or desktop as an app). Sign up, open the link we email you, and you are on the Free plan from any computer or tablet with an internet connection.
No. Sign up with your clinic's name and your email, open the link we email you and choose a password, and you are on the Free plan straight away. No card and no payment.
No. The Free plan has no end date. (New clinics first get Basic free for 14 days, then move to Free automatically.) Its limits are size: one branch, one treatment room, one staff account (the owner's) and 50 patients.
No. Free has one account, the clinic owner's own. Anyone else who signs in needs an account, dentists included, because every dentist who is booked needs one, and an invitation needs a free seat, so no invitation can be sent on Free. Adding a team needs Basic or Pro.
No. The upgrade happens on the same account with the same data: it switches on the extra modules and lifts the limits on patients, staff and rooms. Online payment is not available yet, so for now you upgrade by contacting us.
The online booking page, the WhatsApp channel, dental lab cases, insurance claims, inventory, staff attendance, education videos, report exports and the full data export. Viewing reports on screen is included in Free.
