Pros

The tooth chart is efficient and informative; I can clearly see that I'm viewing the "distal of #3" just by looking at the chart. It's easy to add frequently used buttons, make auto notes, and use them. The auto notes allow me to stop anytime, type in a note, and then pick back up with auto prompts whenever I want. It's easy to see insurance coverage and how much a patient owes, so I know if they even need to stop at the front desk to check out. The schedule is easy to use with appealing color blocks. Perio charting is simple, and it's easy to toggle back and forth to show patients changes between this perio charting and previous ones. I love having a place under the tooth chart for personal notes that can be seen and a way to easily place and see preferred hygienists or dentists on the schedule. HHx is easy to see on the same page as the chart.

Cons

I'm absolutely enamored with Open Dental. I've been a hygienist for a decade, and this software has exceeded all my expectations. It's incredibly efficient and meets all my needs.

Pros

With one window, I can view everything for the patient by simply toggling between the options on the left. It's easy to log on and off without losing my space. Everything is customizable, and there are so many options. Customer Service is amazing, and they always call back quickly and are very knowledgeable. If something can't be figured out right away, they escalate it to a higher-level tech, and solutions are found promptly. The cost is great for such good customer service. Open Dental's value can't be beaten!

Cons

The forms could use improvement. Setting up and using sheets can be challenging. Updating them to a more modern approach would be my only suggestion.

I like the call buttons, we've customized them with audio, so it has become an intercom system.

Pros

I find it easy to navigate, but if I run into issues, the support is great. Although there's a monthly fee for unlimited access, it's totally worth it. There are times when I can go months without needing help, but when I hit a snag, I'm on the phone with them several times a day or days in a row.

Cons

It's not a flaw of the software itself, but rather my own lack of knowledge. Some instructional videos seem to lack audio, which I've brought to their attention. While I try to watch the help videos first, sometimes I don't have the luxury of time and have to call support.
