Questions

Switching to Molar

Can we bring our data from our current software?

Yes. Molar imports patients, charts, and schedules from Dentrix and Open Dental today. Eaglesoft conversion is on the roadmap.

Can we keep our practice phone number?

Yes. Molar moves your existing number over for calls, texts, and fax.

Are calls, texts, and faxes included?

Yes. Calls, texts, and faxes are included in your Molar subscription. ePrescribing and insurance clearinghouse fees are passed through from those providers.

Do we need a server in the office?

No. Molar runs in a web browser, so there's nothing to install or maintain. Computers connected to imaging sensors use the Molar Imaging desktop app for capture.

Does Molar work with our desk phones?

Yes. Molar Voice works in the browser, and you can set up hardware desk phones, such as Yealink, on each extension.

Are membership plans and payment plans included?

Yes. Both are included with Molar through Umbrella (umbrellasmileclub.com).

What languages does Molar support?

Molar is available in 9 languages so far, including Spanish, Portuguese, Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese.

How are subscriptions and third-party fees handled?

Molar provides a proposal for your practice and selected services. Subscription terms, onboarding or import charges, and any applicable third-party service or usage fees are identified before signing.

Can we review security and the rollout plan before signing?

Yes. We can discuss the access controls, audit history, AWS hosting approach, migration scope, and your team's onboarding and support plan during a walkthrough.

Molar's ratings come from our own product. Competitor ratings are compiled from comparison pages published by Archy, CareStack, and Oryx, as of November 2026. “Not rated” means we couldn't confirm a feature either way. Product names are trademarks of their owners.
