Instead of Open Dental
Open Dental alternatives
Open Dental combines dental practice software with a support plan and optional eServices for patient portals, web forms, messaging, texting, mobile access and online scheduling. It supports multiple locations and offers native integrations for e-prescribing, payments, diagnostics, imaging and claims. Its trial does not expire, but stops at 30 patients and leaves out API and eServices access. The client program also cannot run on Linux or Mac workstations, even though Linux and macOS can be used as server alternatives.

Clinics may look elsewhere for a different clinical workflow, offline use, local hosting or a pricing structure that fits their location. The starting price is $89 per month per location on a 12-month contract in some countries; the US price is $199 per month per location for the first 12 months, then $149 after 12 consecutive months. Fees vary with location, provider count and added functionality, and data conversion costs extra. Compare platform needs, patient communications, billing and clinical tools, security controls, and the total cost of moving before switching.
