User Reviews

• Open Dental has been a refreshing change as far as Dental software goes. It's easy to use and has many customized options for your practice needs. These options allow your team to work effectively and make treatment planning easy to do.
• Very easy to use. Allows you to have multiple insurance fee schedules listed and appoint them to each specific patient so you have no write-offs. You are allowed to leave notes on the patient's chart and their health history and for payments and missed appointments. Submitting claims is simple and controlling the time clock for employees is nice. I prefer this software more than Dentrix.
• Great dental software. You can use this to set up your office in a digital format. From patient forms to monthly reports. It works well with other programs, too.
• Open Dental is easy to use and has many customized options for your practice needs. These options allow your team to work effectively and make treatment planning easy to do.
