eServices

eServices are internet-based features available through Open Dental that can provide enhanced access for patients and providers, and automate many tasks. The result is increased productivity and efficiency and a better patient experience, which translates into improved patient retention and practice growth.

eService Fees

See Fees for Software, Support, and Services.
To sign up, each location must be on support and have a unique, active registration key. Only customers on support will be able to sign up for any eService. Integrated Texting can still be utilized even if the office cancels support; in these cases, we will only provide support limited to the eService still in use. Practices must remain on support while using all other eServices.
