Custom development for Open Dental

Custom integrations for Open Dental. Patient portals, recall automation, and reporting for practices and DSOs running the open-source platform.

The kinds of things operators ask us to ship.
No fluff. These are real builds operators in the field actually need.
Two-way sync between Open Dental's patient database and the scheduling, marketing, or patient-engagement tools you already use.
Automated recall reminders, online booking, and waitlist management connected directly to Open Dental's appointment book.
Bridges between Open Dental's clinical charting and imaging data and third-party diagnostic or referral tools.
Automated claims submission, eligibility checks, and patient billing workflows built on Open Dental's ledger data.
Fixed-scope. No hourly billing. We quote it upfront andwe ship it.
Discovery in week one. First builds shipping by weekthree. Production ready inside the quarter.

The conversations that bring buyers here.
A multi-location dental group needed patients to book and pay online without leaving Open Dental as the system of record. We built a portal that syncs both ways in real time.
A practice was losing recall patients to manual follow-up. Automated texts and emails pulled straight from the Open Dental schedule cut no-shows and filled hygiene chairs.
A specialty practice wanted to track referral sources without re-entering data. We connected Open Dental to their referral CRM so every new patient's source is captured automatically.
A dental support organization needed one dashboard across a dozen Open Dental offices. We built a reporting layer that rolls up production and collections in real time.

Open Dental integrations typically range from $25K to $60K and ship in 5 to 9 weeks. DSO roll-ups with multiple practice locations tend to land toward the higher end given the larger reporting scope.
