Within Open Dental you can link to external programs that you use within your practice. We call these links "bridges", and all you need to do is set up a Program Link. A list of existing Imaging Software and Miscellaneous program bridges included with Open Dental. Click a link to view more information.

Business Associate Agreements

We recommend having a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) in place with a third-party program before enabling the associated program link. Many third-party programs gather and retain Protected Health Information (PHI), so a BAA will assist with HIPAA compliance.

Native Integrations

Open Dental offers native integrations with a select number of third-party companies. These integrations offer more functionality than a traditional program link. Some of these integrations are set up from the Program Links window. See Native Integrations for a list.

Imaging Software

Open Dental works well with many third-party imaging programs. We do not recommend any particular brand of sensor or software. Additionally, 2D Imaging is built into Open Dental and available for practices on support. See Imaging Module for additional information.
