We are committed to providing exceptional technical support to our customers. Being on Support means you have unlimited access to our dedicated technicians for help with the software. But support is SO much more than just getting technical help. In this post, we’ll discuss the benefits of being on Support with Open Dental.

Unlimited Help

Chat: Get a quick answer to a quick question via chat, and get back to your most important job – caring for your patients!

Phone: Call as many times as you’d like throughout the day. There is a 2-question limit per call so that we can help everyone in a timely manner. If you have more than 2 questions, we can put you back in the queue for a callback, or you can use online chat.

Email: It’s after hours, you’re located outside of North America, or you just prefer email. No problem – send an email to service@opendental.com – our team will get back to you promptly.

TECH TIP:  How to get the most out of your support call

1. Have examples to show us.
2. Tell us the steps you’ve taken.
3. Tell us how the result is different than what you expected.
4. Don’t store up a whole list of questions – please call us as questions come up so we can resolve up to 2 issues in each call.

We release three to four major versions a year. Update your software to receive CDT codes, and over a hundred new features and enhancements requested by users like you! When you’re on support, you can update for free, it’s included in your Support cost.
