Answers to common questions

Quick answers for dentists, associates, and practice owners.

Does Smilenotes work with Dentally, SOE or R4?

Yes. Smilenotes works with Dentally, SOE, R4 and all major dental practice management systems. Smilenotes is browser-based dental clinical notes software, so it doesn’t replace your practice software — it works alongside it.

Simply:

Write your clinical note in Smilenotes
Click copy
Paste it directly into Dentally, SOE, R4 or your existing dental record system

Because it’s browser-based, it works on Windows, Mac and iPad.

Many dentists use Smilenotes specifically to make note-writing easier than using built-in templates in traditional dental software.

Can Associates use Smilenotes?

Absolutely.

Smilenotes is designed for:

Dental associates
Practice owners
Hygienists and therapists
Any clinician who writes clinical notes

You don’t need to own the practice or change the practice software. Smilenotes works independently in your browser.

Many associates use Smilenotes to maintain consistent, well-structured records across multiple practices.

Do I need to install any software?

No installation required.

Smilenotes works entirely in your web browser (like Chrome, Safari or Edge). There is:

No software to download
No plugins to install
No IT setup required

Just log in and start writing.

Can I customise templates with buttons and dropdowns?

Yes — customisation is one of the main advantages of using Smilenotes.

Unlike basic templates inside traditional dental software, Smilenotes allows you to:

Create fully custom clinical note templates
Add buttons for common phrases
Insert dropdown options
Organise templates clearly
Drag and drop sections

This helps you write structured, consistent clinical notes much faster than typing free text every time and without the privacy issues of AI based systems.

Do I need to enter patient details?

No.

Smilenotes is designed so you can write clinical note text without storing patient identifiable information.

You can simply:

Write your note
Copy it
Paste it into your dental software

Smilenotes can be used without entering identifiable patient data. If you do enter patient data, you should ensure you have an appropriate lawful basis and meet your UK GDPR obligations.
