Would Never Recommend Anything Else!
Love it, love it, love it!
Pros
Honestly, can’t say enough! Ease of use, accessibility to all features, ledger is simple/easy to understand, payment allocation is perfect, customization is amazing. Not one thing I DONT LIKE ABOUT!!
Cons
I honestly can’t think of one single thing I don’t like about it. Especially since I’m at an office that uses Dentrix.

DO IT
Overall, this is an easy decision. I highly recommend Open Dental. I have used others, and Open Dental is by far the best out there. It is the cheapest, easiest, and most simple out there. There are many features that makes it amazing. SWITCH today.
Pros
The most easy answer all day. GET OPEN DENTAL. It is the best and easiest dental software that you will ever use! Seriously, listen to me. GET OPEN DENTAL. I have used Dentrix, Eaglesoft, and others and Open Dental is by far the easiest to use. The support is AMAZING. you never hear about this with any company, but this company is great at answering questions.
Cons
There is not ONE thing that I do not like about Open Dental. They are a great company and a great software.
Reasons for Switching to Open Dental
Dentrix is far inferior to Open Dental. CHANGE to open dental!!

Unsatisfactory
Other reviewers write that they came from Dentrix. I find this add. That is the opposite of my experience. User cannot simultaneously open Chart and schedule book. Try writing patient note and look something up in the schedule - not possible. Set the procedure complete in Chart and nothing. You also necessarily need to add it to appointment procedures and complete from Schedule book. What a waste of time. Clinical notes and completed/planned procedures are displayed in the same window - it's a pain to find and add notes. Overall, I don't find Open Dental intuitive. I miss many features from Dentrix where modules are clearly separated and easy to navigate. I would not recommend.
Pros
Ability to text patients from within. Quick online support with chat option.
Cons
It lack usability. Features are outdated.
Reasons for Switching to Open Dental
Office move.
