Choose Smilecloud if…
You plan cosmetic cases digitally, show patients simulated results, and work closely with a lab on design. Its strengths are smile design and collaboration, not everyday photo storage.
Choose DentalCloud if…
You want every clinical photo stored securely and easy to find, organised by patient, with timelines and before-and-after comparisons, at a low monthly price. Many dentists who design in Smilecloud still need somewhere simple to keep their day-to-day photos.
