Start confidently with BerryDent.

01

Before installation

BerryDent is intended for Windows 10 or newer. Before upgrading an active v1 clinic, create a complete backup of your BerryDent records and patient files.

02

Install and activate

Run the BerryDent Windows installer, launch the app and enter the Gumroad license details connected to your purchase. A lifetime license includes three device activations.

03

Open the client

The launcher opens the BerryDent Client for daily clinic work or the Server Console for LAN hosting. Existing windows are reused and brought to the front.

04

Choose local or LAN mode

Use local mode for one computer. For shared clinic data, start the Server Console, note its connection details and connect authorised clients on the same local network.

05

Confirm clinic settings

Review currency, date and time formats, tooth numbering, treatment templates, doctors, prescription branding, theme and backup preferences before routine use.

06

Add patients

Open Patients, choose New patient and enter the required name plus optional contact, date of birth, sex, notes, dentition, treatment plan, photo and ID copy.

07

Record visits and payments

Select a patient, open Visits & billing, record the treatment, doctor, notes, charge and amount received. Later payments can be linked to unpaid visits.

08

Schedule appointments

Use the patient page or Calendar to choose the patient, doctor, time, duration, purpose and status. Day, week and month views support review and rescheduling.

09

Create prescriptions

Choose the doctor, clinic branding and medicines, add advice, then export, print or save the prescription PDF into the patient record.

10

Use clinical files

Import images, X-rays, PDFs and documents from the patient Files tab. Add labels and comments, search the collection, preview supported files or reveal the patient folder.

11

Protect the data

Configure automatic local or Google Drive backups with appropriate retention. Create a fresh manual backup before migration, bulk import or other high-impact operations.

12

Keep BerryDent current

Use Check for updates from the launcher. Allow an update to finish before reopening the clinic client, and retain recent backups throughout the upgrade process.
