Open Dental Forum

The other day I saw this program: Dashboard DDS. Interesting and wondering if Open dental has something similar or might have it coming up? http://www.dashboarddds.com/index.html I really like this. OD could make this available on a monthly subscription. I think it would be well received. What do yo...

Thank you very much for the great post. You are sooo right.

Looking forward to be part of the OD family

Hi savvy, Thank you so much for your reply. Just so I make sure I understand correctly. So we can schedule patients for say a few days or a week on the home computer, and then back that up and restore onto the server in the new office, with maybe a portable hard drive or such; and then back up the o...

Hello again, I have a question about starting with OD in a scratch practice. We will have marketing mail pieces delivered to homes, two weeks before we open the new office. Telephone will start ringing, and we want to book patients in open dental directly. We will have a VOIP phone and one workstati...

Thank you very much. I really appreciate your input
Will be using Win 7 Pro, which
O understand allows up to 20 work stations. We will have
A dedicated computer that will hold
The OD database.

Will consider all options at this time

Thank you, JrGong and Dr. Sparks, My question was along the lines: If I will go with Open Dental as Practice Management software, is it better to do server/client or peer to peer? Keeping in mind it costs thousands more for hardware and server software licenses, (I was given less money by the bank t...

How about the Eye-Fi cards? they send images wirelessly http://www.eye.fi/products/compare-cards Would it work? There is also the solution with a wireless transmitter attached to your canon. http://www.amazon.com/Canon-WFT-E4A-Wireless-Transmitter-Digital/dp/B001KBZ3O6 By using the included USB cabl...

Thank you very much, irfan.

That is pretty much what I am getting as answers. Thank you
For your input in this.

Happy and productive new year from Ray

Hi Dr Doan,

Good luck to you, too. Visalia, we are close indeed. Yes, exciting time. Thank you for the info and good feedback on OD. Hope we do well, and much success in the new office

Thank you from Ray

Thank you Jay and Jeff For answering my questions. I was considering a server-client setup, until someone pointed to the instructions in OD's manual that show setting up as a peer to peer network, with Windows 7 Pro, up to 20 workstations. So, I understand that in either case, I will need a dedicate...

Hi again in 2011, I did read a bit about OD, and thinking about it. New startup, general practice, 6 ops, networked computers, voip phones, fastest DSL connection (which is only 6 Mbps), but Comcast or others not available/ new area. Should I get peer to peer or server-client network? We have done w...

I think it is great that a web version is going to be available. I am just about to set up a new practice in Central California. For now I think I will go with OD and server with network of computers. Will add web version once available. As I understand it, The good thing about a net version, would ...

They do not, and they tell you 64 bit is not a good idea after all! I will look at Apteryx. Thank you again for the kind and speedy answers. Although, I was thinking if I get Dexis Platinum sensor, the big advantage is great image quality and very fast and easy software, with the one click full mout...

Thank you very much for the speedy reply. I get the idea. I will look into XDR or Apteryx then. So, XDR is the software and can be used with any sensor hardware, if I understand correctly. I will also search the site for answers and comments from memebers. So far thank you very much. Wow, it works w...

HI Just signed in, looking to get a management software for new startup. Office will have six operatories, and need to link everything with computers. Would like to do everything possible on line. I had a few questions: Does Open Dental have? Scheduling included? Perio charting included? Can perio c...
