Flex Learning Hub

At Flex, we’re all about helping your dental practice work smarter, not harder. That means providing you with tools that make scheduling faster, communication smoother, and patient care more efficient. That’s why we’ve rolled out several powerful releases that do just that. Ready to see what’s new?

Attracting and retaining patients is a skill that many practices lack. It’s not enough to simply be “found,” you have to stand out and deliver an experience that keeps patients loyal. Boasting an advanced array of tools for your practice can keep you ahead of the competition. One feature that you may be missing out on is one of the most powerful tools in the game. FlexSchedule + Reserve With Google isn’t just another online booking tool. It’s a next-gen scheduling engine that delivers a seamless experience for patients while giving your team total control over the calendar.

Running a dental practice means balancing more than just routine checkups and cleanings. From scheduling and patient communication to payments, insurance, forms, and managing online reviews, there’s a lot to juggle. However, if your practice is still relying on outdated processes or systems, there’s never been a better time to look toward the future.  

Flex Dental Solutions is a modern patient engagement software built specifically for Open Dental users, turning your practice into a sharp, intuitive, patient-first machine. Let's take a tour of the most modern tools Flex has to offer, and how they can help your team work smarter, not harder. 

When patients search for a new dentist, the reviews and assortment of ratings can be the deciding factor. It’s like leaving a good or bad impression on a first date. So, how can your practice consistently collect valuable testimonials without overwhelming your team or annoying your patients?

It starts with the visit and ends with a click.

As a dental practice, simplifying your payment process means faster collections, less administrative overhead, and a healthier revenue cycle. That’s where FlexPay steps in.

Make Payments Simple for Patients

With FlexPay, patients can pay directly from wherever they are. No portals, no complicated logins, and no friction. Here’s how FlexPay meets patients where they are:

• Direct-from-Treatment Plan Payments: Patients can pay immediately from their treatment plan, whether they’re in-office or reviewing it later.
• In-Office Payments: Whether they are checking in or out, patients can securely complete their payment on the spot. 

Text or Email Statements: Send patient-specific or family statements securely via text or email. Once they enter their date of birth, they’re ready to pay. No login required.

We’ve all had conversations where miscommunication, or a lack of communication, eventually led to the end of a relationship. Whether you're navigating a conversation with a patient, trying to connect with a hygienist between patients, or following up on a text from yesterday, strong communication can make or break the flow and harmony of your practice.

Communication tools in your practice shouldn’t be an afterthought. They're the superheroes that save relationships in the dental world every single day!

The front office of a dental practice is the heart of patient communication, scheduling, and coordination. While dental assistants and dentists focus on providing excellent oral care, the front office keeps operations moving, while maintaining a positive patient experience. Yet, many practices still rely on outdated systems that slow things down and create unnecessary holdups. Fortunately, modern technology is revolutionizing the way dental offices operate, especially at the front desk.

Here’s how embracing the right tech tools can transform your front office and elevate your entire practice. 

There’s no busier time for pediatric dental offices than the summer. With kids out of school and calendars wide open, there is a lot of opportunity for your practice to boost production, reconnect with patients, and take care of treatments their parents have been putting off all school year.
