DentalEMR is web based practice management built only for endodontics. Your patient database lives in the cloud, so your schedule, charts, and reports open from any device, in the office or out of it.
DentalEMR covers clinical charting, scheduling, treatment estimates, billing and collections, claims tracking, referral management, and reporting. Because the patient database is hosted rather than installed on a server in the office, the practice is reachable from any device with a browser, and new releases arrive automatically at no additional cost.
PBS Endo is a server based system, which means the patient database lives on hardware in the practice. That difference is what most of this page comes down to: where your data lives, and what that means for how you reach it, back it up, and grow around it.
Check a chart from home. Approve a treatment plan from a second location. Review yesterday's production from your phone. There is no practice management server to maintain, patch, or replace, and no remote desktop workaround to keep running.
Your referring dentists get a secure portal with their patient history, letters, images, and full resolution CT volumes, available any time. No expiring email links, no flash drives, no separate referral product to license.
Your price is based on providers. Front desk staff, assistants, treatment coordinators, and additional locations are included. Build the team your practice needs without checking what each addition costs you in software.
Every release ships to every practice automatically. There is no version to evaluate, no upgrade to budget for, and no moment where your software falls a generation behind while you decide whether the upgrade is worth it.
Both are endodontic practice management systems, and a lot of the core work looks similar. The differences show up in access, cost structure, and what comes standard.
Comparison reflects standard PBS Endo server based configurations and customer reported experience as of July 2026. Capabilities vary by version and configuration. PBS Endo is a trademark of its owner, used for identification only.
The question under every one of these conversations is the same one: what happens to years of patient records. Our migration guide walks through what transfers, what your team provides, and how the timeline fits around a schedule you are still seeing patients on.
DentalEMR is a cloud based practice management platform built only for endodontics. Practices moving from a server based system choose it for access from any device, a built in referring dentist portal, AI assisted clinical notes and referral letters, and per provider pricing that includes unlimited staff users, unlimited locations, and every future update.
PBS Endo is a server based system. The patient database lives on hardware in the practice, and access outside the office generally requires a remote desktop or VPN setup. DentalEMR runs in a web browser, so the practice is reachable from any device with an internet connection, including phones and tablets.
Yes. Patient demographics, clinical history, imaging, and financial records can be migrated. DentalEMR handles migration as part of onboarding, and the migration guide covers what transfers, what your team needs to provide, and how long each stage takes.
Not for your practice management software. Your patient database, charts, schedule, and reporting move to the cloud, so there is no practice management server to buy, back up, or replace. Imaging is separate: CT and X ray software have their own on site requirements, and your sensors and imaging licenses stay in place.
DentalEMR is priced per provider. Front desk staff, assistants, and additional locations are included at no extra cost, and so is every update. There is no server to purchase, no hardware refresh cycle, and no version license to buy when a new release comes out. On a server based system, staying current usually means paying again for the upgrade. Here, staying current is the default.
Support is included with every account. You get instant answers from an AI assistant with real people ready to step in the moment a question needs them, plus an assigned practice success manager who knows your practice and your workflows. There is no premium support tier to buy up into, and no hold music.
Yes. Multiple locations operate inside a single DentalEMR practice account at no additional software cost.
For practices operating separate business entities (distinct tax IDs or ownership structures, often called multi practice), those databases are kept separate, so each entity's records stay cleanly divided, while your users move between them for accessibility and transparency.
