Surgical Case Scheduling for Dental Office Managers with Open Dental
Run surgical case scheduling on autopilot inside Open Dental.
The Problem
Booking a General Dentistry case means coordinating surgeon, facility, anesthesia, equipment, and PA — one missing piece delays the patient by weeks.
What We Build in Open Dental
AI orchestrates the booking across Dentrix and facility systems, verifies insurance, confirms PA, and secures equipment — time-to-surgery drops and OR utilization climbs. Purpose-built for teams running Open Dental — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.
Open Dental Integration Approach
Audit your Open Dental configuration
We map the specific Open Dental objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your general dentistry practice.
Build on the Open Dental API or agent
Integration happens inside Open Dental — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
Human-in-the-loop handoff
Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in Open Dental with enough context to act — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
Frequently asked
