Worked examples
These use the published prices when paid yearly. Month to month, the same practices pay $300, $600, $250, $100 and $250 a month.
- A dental practice with one dentist: $270 a month.
- A dental practice with three dentists: $270 plus two more dentists at $135 each, $540 a month.
- A denturist clinic with two denturists: $180 plus $45, $225 a month.
- A solo hygienist on MapleDent Lite: $90 a month.
- A hygiene clinic with two hygienists on MapleDent Cloud: $180 plus $45, $225 a month.
Hygienists and denturists working in a dentist-led practice are not counted. Neither are assistants, reception or office managers. A practice with several locations has its providers counted across all of them and pays no fee per location.
