Nothing, open dental is constantly improving their product.

Our overall experience with Open Dental is that it is a far superior dental software and i have used, Easy dent, Dentrix, Eaglesoft and none of these can hold a candle to Open dental
Pros
This software make's my life so much easier as an administrator. The accounts are easy to read. Billing and insurance payments are a breeze, as well as emailing directly from the account if patient owes after putting in insurance payments.
Cons
I would like to see an option for printing or emailing the entre families appointments on paper or email.. (not at the end of statements)
This would really help with with our patients keeping appointments.
Response from Open Dental Software
Thank you for your kind words, Teresa, and we always appreciate feedback too! Our eReminder service (free to customers on support) allows you to set up an automated email reminder to be sent out to your patients - and it can be set up to send the whole family's appointment reminders together for same-day appointments. Please talk with our support team, they'll be happy to help you get everything set up to suit your needs :) You can also use our Feature Request system to ask for a way to print all upcoming family appointments. Thanks again for your support!

Some of the best support I've ever dealt with. Thank you!
Some of the best support I've ever dealt with. Thank you!
Pros
The fact that it is easy to navigate, but if you were to have issues, the support is great. Granted that is a monthly fee for unlimited access, but it is totally worth it. There are times I can go months without calling for help, but hit one snag and I'm on the phone with them several times a day or days in a row.
Cons
It's not a con, but just me and my lack of knowledge. Some of the videos don't seem to have audio and I've mentioned that to them. I try to watch the help video first...sometimes. Sometimes, I don't have that luxury of time and will call them. So not them, I consider it an operator error, mine.
