Open Dental

What it does

Open Dental is an open-source dental practice management system used by thousands of practices across the US. The platform offers full clinical charting, scheduling, insurance billing, imaging integration, and patient communication. Because it is open-source, Open Dental has a large ecosystem of third-party integrations and customizations. It is a frequent integration target for dental AI vendors. Support is provided through annual support contracts or a community of certified tech support providers.

Considerations

Open Dental's open-source model means lower licensing cost but may require more internal IT management than fully supported commercial alternatives. The large integration ecosystem is a major advantage for practices wanting to connect third-party AI tools.
