What to evaluate
Open
Buyers should evaluate whether they want Open Dental's flexibility and broad interoperability versus a more tightly managed cloud-native PMS experience. The traditional deployment is self-hosted, which can require more local IT ownership, while Open Dental Cloud is available separately. Practices should also map the cost of optional eServices and third-party tools rather than comparing only the base support fee.
