Dental Software

Open Dental [Software] is a vital tool to our office and we use it to handle every aspect of our patient care. It's convenient in that it allows us to combine staff and patient schedules with patient records, billing and personal information. At the front desk, we can view patient account balances/payments, upcoming procedures, x-rays and provider notes, which allows us to quickly answer patient questions and provide excellent customer service. Open Dental's customer service is excellent and provides support that allows us to customize the software to our individual practice's needs.

Internal reports

Open Dental [Software] has issues when users try to open more than one window at a time.
There is no way to copy/paste provider schedules, so you have to schedule each day individually.

Affordability
Great customer service
Ease of use

Streamlining billing, scheduling, and record keeping into one program makes it easier to onboard new staff as they only have to learn to use one software.
Having reports available in Open Dental [Software] make it easy to track insurance claims, income, and provider performance.

We have used Open Dental's advanced support options in the past to generate code for custom support and to enable patients to fill out their new patient forms through our website. Each time we have used it, the fee has been well worth it and the support has been excellent.

We are an IT company that supports dental practices, and Open Dental is one of the practice management softwares that we support. Open Dental is incredibly easy to support and set up, and works very fast on even older PCs. It's open infrastructure allows third party plug-in creators to make pretty much anything that a dentist may need to integrate with their practice management system. The price is great as well. The interface is easy to learn, with a very low learning curve for new users. Open Dental is an easy recommendation, having worked with all major dental practice management softwares.

User Interface is simple to learn
Integrates well with all imaging programs
Support techs are amazing, and remember your name when you call
It's cheaper than almost all alternatives, but the value is higher
Lots of plug-ins are available
Awesome user community of dentists that love to talk about how they've incorporated plug-ins and other features
Lots of reports to choose from, or you can make your own

There are a few AR reports that would be nice to have as a template, so you don't have to make it on your own

The cost of Open Dental is minimal, so ROI is huge.
