If you’re using Open Dental, your practice already has a solid foundation.
But here’s the uncomfortable truth:
Most practices are still losing thousands every month - not because they lack patients, but because their systems aren’t built with case acceptance in mind.
This isn’t an Open Dental problem, it's the systems and workflows built around it.
The Reason Open Dental Practices Are Integrating Flex
Open Dental was built to manage your practice.
Flex was built to help it perform.
As an authorized Open Dental integrated vendor, Flex connects patient communication, scheduling, treatment planning, insurance verification, and payments into one advanced system - so your team works smarter and can focus on delivering better care. Less chasing. More case acceptance. Better outcomes across the board.
What Flex Actually Fixes (And Why It Matters)
Problem: Your team is stuck doing double work. Entering data in multiple systems, switching between tools, and hoping everything syncs correctly.
The Flex Fix: Everything Syncs Back to Open Dental Automatically
This is the big one. Every action - appointments, forms, treatment plans, payments - syncs directly into Open Dental automatically. No double entry, no toggling between platforms, and no wondering whether data made it into the patient record. From confirmed appointments to signed treatment plans to completed forms, it all flows back seamlessly.
Problem: Patients leave saying, “I’ll think about it.” And most don’t come back. It’s not because they don’t want treatment, it’s because they can’t act in the moment.
The Flex Fix: Treatment Planning That Helps Patients Say Yes
Practices using clear financial options can increase case acceptance by up to 30%.
Flex turns treatment plans into decision tools with visual, easy-to-understand presentations. Using real-time insurance estimates, integrated payment options, and instant scheduling, your treatment planning is now an automated case acceptance engine.
Problem: Paper forms slow everything down - and create errors.
The Flex Fix: Smart, Paperless Patient Forms
Digital intake can reduce check-in time by up to 60%.
Flex’s paperless forms can be sent automatically via email or text before the appointment. They can be pre-filled with existing data, and auto-sync to Open Dental. Less clipboard time, fewer errors, and a much better first impression.
Problem: Your front desk is buried in calls, reminders and follow-ups. Not to mention patients coming into the office! Manual communication doesn’t scale.
The Flex Fix: Automated Communication That Runs in the Background
Automated reminders can reduce no-shows by 30-40%.
Automated appointment confirmations, reminders, two-way texting from the office number, and missed call auto-replies keep the practice responsive without adding to your front desk’s workload. Recall reminders, welcome messages, and other routine communications are handled automatically, giving the team back hours every week.
Problem: Patients don’t want to call, and they won’t wait.
The Flex Fix: Reserve with Google Integration
Practices using online scheduling see up to 20% more bookings.
FlexSchedule integrates with Reserve with Google, allowing patients to book appointments directly from Google Search or Google Maps. Availability and appointments booked sync straight into Open Dental. For practices trying to reduce phone volume and capture patients at the moment they are searching, this is a significant advantage.
Problem: Your team is stuck on hold trying to verify insurance, or guessing.
The Flex Fix: Insurance Verification Without the Hold Music
Automation can save hours every day on insurance verification.
FlexVerification runs automated eligibility checks and adds benefit data like annual maximums and coverage percentages directly into Open Dental, saving a PDF copy of the plan breakdown for easy reference. Less time on hold with insurance companies, more time focused on patient care.
Problem: Collections happen too late - and take too much effort.
The Flex Fix: Payments That Don’t Slow You Down
Practices that collect earlier reduce A/R by 20-30%
With FlexPayments, you can send and schedule digital invoices via text or email, with payment links. Accept payments in person or online, and see them automatically posted to the correct ledger in Open Dental. Plus, with integrated processing, and features like Buy Now, Pay Later on the way, Flex allows you to collect payments faster, do less chasing, and have a better cash flow.
