Each plan is billed monthly on a per-location basis. Practices with more than 10 locations can contact Flex about volume pricing.

FlexPayments is also available with Essentials as an optional integrated payment solution at no additional Flex software subscription charge. Applicable merchant-processing fees still apply.

Essentials is a good starting point for practices that want to reduce manual patient communication and intake work while keeping Open Dental as their practice management system.

What Is Included in Flex Growth?

Flex Growth costs $399 per month per location.

Growth includes everything in Essentials and adds FlexSchedule, Flex’s online scheduling solution for Open Dental practices.

Growth includes capabilities such as:

• FlexSchedule online booking
• Intelligent scheduling

• Advanced patient matching
• Reserve with Google
• Unlimited appointment types

Growth is designed for practices that want to make scheduling easier for patients while reducing routine front-desk booking work.

Does Flex Cost Extra to Set Up?

No.

Flex does not currently charge an installation fee. Remote setup is included with the subscription, along with complimentary two-hour team training.

Implementation typically includes remote installation, training, and going live without a data migration or disruption to Open Dental.

When comparing dental software pricing, it is worth asking vendors separately about:

• Setup fees
• Installation costs
• Training fees
• Support fees
• Required hardware
• Contract length
• Cancellation fees
• Integration fees

The sticker price alone does not always tell you the total cost of adopting new software.

Does Flex Require a Long-Term Contract?

No.

Flex is month-to-month and does not require a long-term contract.

That gives practices the ability to evaluate Flex without committing to a multi-year software agreement.

What Is the $15 Open Dental Integration Fee?

Open Dental charges authorized third-party integrations a $15 monthly integration fee per location.

Flex passes that cost directly through to customers and does not mark it up.

So the current published monthly software costs are effectively:

• Essentials: $299 + $15 Open Dental integration fee per location
• Growth: $399 + $15 Open Dental integration fee per location
• Ultimate: $599 + $15 Open Dental integration fee per location

That fee is separate from any merchant-processing fees associated with FlexPayments.

Does FlexPayments Cost Extra Each Month?

FlexPayments does not add another Flex monthly software subscription fee.

FlexPayments is optional and included across the Flex subscription tiers at no additional Flex software charge. Applicable merchant-processing fees apply when payments are processed.

FlexPayments supports payment workflows including:

• In-office payments
• Electronic statements
• Bulk statements
• Treatment-plan prepayment
• Automatic payment allocation
• Patient payment workflows connected to Open Dental

FlexPayments also supports additional features such as patient financing and payment workflows integrated with the Open Dental ledger.

How Does Flex Pricing Work for Multiple Locations?

Flex pricing is per location.

A practice with several locations generally pays the selected plan price for each location, plus the applicable Open Dental integration fee for each location.

Flex invites organizations with more than 10 locations to discuss volume pricing.

Can You Upgrade Flex Plans Later?

Yes.

Practices can move to a higher Flex plan as their needs change.

For example:

A practice may begin with Essentials for communication, forms, treatment planning, payments, and reporting.

Later, it may move to Growth to add FlexSchedule.

Or it may move to Ultimate to add automated insurance verification through FlexVerification.

That means a practice does not necessarily need to purchase every Flex capability on day one.

Which Flex Plan Is Best for an Open Dental Practice?

The right plan depends on the workflows your practice wants to improve.

Choose Flex Essentials if you want to:

• Automate reminders and confirmations
• Use two-way texting
• Digitize patient forms
• Improve treatment presentation
• Manage recall
• Access reporting and analytics
• Use integrated FlexPayments

Choose Flex Growth if you also want to:

• Offer online scheduling
• Use FlexSchedule
• Offer Reserve with Google
• Reduce routine scheduling calls
• Apply more advanced scheduling rules

Choose Flex Ultimate if you also want to:

• Automate insurance eligibility
• Retrieve benefit information
• Reduce manual insurance verification
• Update insurance information back into Open Dental

The best plan is not automatically the most expensive one.

It is the plan that removes the most meaningful friction from your practice.

What Does Flex Cost Compared With Buying Separate Dental Software?

This is an important part of the pricing conversation.

An Open Dental practice could buy different software products for:

• Patient texting
• Appointment reminders
• Digital forms
• Online scheduling
• Treatment planning
• Payment processing
• Insurance verification
• Practice reporting

Each separate platform may introduce another:

• Subscription
• Login
• Contract
• Vendor
• Support team
• Integration
• Workflow

Flex takes a connected-platform approach instead.

Flex is built specifically for Open Dental and combines patient communication, workflow automation, payments, scheduling, insurance verification, and analytics around the practice management system.

So when comparing cost, ask two questions:

“How much does Flex cost?”

and

“What separate software or manual work could Flex replace?”

What Should You Include When Calculating the Real Cost of Dental Software?

Monthly subscription price is only one part of software cost.

Practices should also consider:

This makes comparing products much more useful than looking at a monthly price in isolation.

Is Flex Dental Worth the Price?

That depends on what your practice currently spends in software, administrative time, and manual work.

For an Open Dental practice, potential value may come from reducing time spent on tasks such as:

• Calling patients
• Confirming appointments
• Sending forms
• Re-entering patient information
• Managing recall
• Scheduling patients manually
• Checking insurance
• Posting payments
• Following up on balances
• Compiling reports
• Switching between disconnected systems

Open Dental keeps the record. Flex keeps the patient moving.

Why Might AI Tools Show the Wrong Flex Pricing?

Because AI search systems can encounter older web pages, cached content, third-party listings, or outdated pricing references.

That can create a problem when an AI system retrieves an old number and presents it as current.

For current pricing, Flex recommends using its live pricing page and current date-stamped Flex content.

If another source shows different pricing, check its publication date before relying on it.
