Common questions
What clinics ask about this comparison.
Is Practo Ray a dental product?
Practo Ray is a multi-specialty clinic management platform used by dentists, doctors, and other practitioners across India. Dentistry is one of several specialties it serves, so its dental charting and treatment-planning depth is lighter than a dedicated dental system. smileQute is built specifically for dental workflows: tooth-by-tooth and periodontal charting, treatment-plan stages, lab orders, and before/after photo compare.
What is Practo Ray strongest at?
Patient acquisition and breadth. Practo Ray plugs into the wider Practo network, which many clinics use to find and book new patients, and it works across specialties. If marketplace-driven patient acquisition through Practo is core to your growth, that is a real advantage.
Where does smileQute fit better?
Dental depth and scale beyond a single clinic or country. smileQute gives you full dental and periodontal charting, insurance-split billing, built-in WhatsApp, a multi-tenant super-admin console for chains, and per-clinic currency, language, and timezone for groups operating outside India too.
Both work in India. Why switch?
If you want deeper dental-specific clinical tooling, audit-grade records, and the ability to run multiple clinics (including across countries) from one console, smileQute is purpose-built for it. Many clinics also keep their Practo profile for patient acquisition while running operations on a dedicated dental platform.
Can we migrate from Practo Ray?
Yes. Export patients, appointments, and records from Practo Ray, map columns to our import template, and we bulk-import with composite duplicate detection. Migration support is included on every plan.
