Choosing instead of Open Dental

Clinics may seek alternatives for different clinical tools, offline operation, regional billing or pricing. Open Dental’s paid plans start at $89 per month on an annual term in some countries; US pricing is $199 per month per location for the first 12 months, then $149 after 12 consecutive months. Fees vary by location, provider count and added functionality, and data conversion costs extra. When switching, compare clinical records, scheduling, communication, billing, hosting, platform support, security, integrations and the total cost for your practice.
