Open Dental Forum

Send me a DM with your contact info etc.

I would love to be a part of this. I use wordpress as well and could try to integrate this into my website and open dental. How it is initially shaping up, all via API. I'm pulling existing OD open schedule blocks so there isn't a need to sync or keep anything updated on your external site. Just wo...

send me a message with your contact info, I'll reach out

Good afternoon, Please see Open Dental's documentation on Plugins. Notably: Plug-ins were phased out because third parties could cause serious issues by writing data to the Open Dental database tables and Open Dental had no way to make them safe. Fully aware of those, but this is not a Open Dental ...

I'm in the process of developing a WordPress plugin for Open Dental. If it sounds interesting reach out I'd love to get feedback on it as it is fleshed out. Functions that it would have out of the gate: allow new patients to fill out a form, and create them as a new patient allow the admin to select...

yes, we run two copies regularly on the same machine, esp with two monitor systems at the front desk.

ever consider using a joined interface where everything is available at your finger tips inside of 1? Saves soo much time.

I will migrate coding to that and setup a SFTP server. Ideally just writing the file into the A-to-Z folder and somehow requesting Open Dental to index it would be amazing as it is less overhead.

If I am overlooking something please forgive me and redirect. Is there a chance we can get an import/refresh function of the Documents in the API? There are so many ways of placing something int the A-to-Z folder but nothing currently in place to trigger Open Dental to index them until someone click...

I'm hoping this is a quick and easy one. Looking to get IsMedical added as an option in /insplans on PUT. Right now we can see that it is true/false with the /familymodules but we are unable to update it. You can send it in to the existing endpoint but it is ignored. Doc Link: https://www.opendental...

We have pop-ups with Create and Get is there any change we can get an update with PUT to allow us to update them? Including the disable? Current: https://www.opendental.com/site/apipopups.html Proposed: PUT /popups?PopupNum=10 { "Description": "Verify cell phone number is accurate.", "PopupLevel": "...

I always try to look before I ask and this one appears to been open since 2021 and only GET was added into production. -- https://www.opendentalsoft.com:8085/for ... dID#p34501

There any chance MedicaidID can be added to the POST and PUT for the patients API? I see we can GET, and it is a response from the creation on POST but you can never touch that field via API. I've seen requests back several years but no updates and can confirm it is still missing today in Dec 2024. ...

+1 ... I'd also like this functionality as well.

I have done this exact thing. I wrote an entire interface for patients, self scheduling, etc. It grew over time and it is beautiful, but like others said was a very large undertaking. It completely took building another API on top of the existing Open Dental API to get the job done.
