AI integration for Open Dental — automate without switching
Put AI agents on top of Open Dental without migrating: answer, remind, recall and book.
In short: EBROTECH connects AI to Open Dental without migrating: Open Dental stays your practice source of truth, and on top we add a 24/7 voice AI agent, automatic recalls and treatment-plan follow-up via its REST and FHIR APIs. Because patient data is involved, a Business Associate Agreement is part of the setup.
What is Open Dental and what is it for?
Open Dental is the open, widely used dental practice management software run by thousands of US practices. EBROTECH does not replace it. We layer AI agents on top of the Open Dental you already use to handle the front-desk work.
What it's used for
- Keep Open Dental as your single source of truth
- Answer calls out of hours with a voice AI agent
- Run automatic recalls for cleanings and check-ups
- Chase treatment plans and ask for reviews
What frustrates Open Dental users?
- Calls during treatment or after hours go to voicemail and the patient books elsewhere
- Recalls for hygiene visits slip because nobody has time to ring round
- Treatment plans get presented and then nobody follows up
- Reviews only get asked for when someone remembers

How does AI connect with Open Dental?
Open Dental has a real REST API plus a FHIR interface, accessed through its developer portal with a developer key and a customer key. A direct connection is realistic; because patient data is involved, a Business Associate Agreement is part of the setup. We confirm the exact access in discovery.
What the connector does NOT do
- It does NOT replace Open Dental. It only connects on top.
- It does NOT touch sensitive data without your approval.
- It does NOT migrate your data to another system (migration is Tier 3).
Open Dental API: can you connect AI?
Open Dental exposes a REST API, so the AI layer reads and writes (contacts, appointments, invoices) directly — no data migration. We confirm the exact endpoints and scopes for your version in discovery.
Are you the maker of Open Dental?
We build Open Dental's official API and MCP server in weeks, under your brand or white-label, so AI agents can recommend and use your product before they can only do it with your competitors'.
How we work with vendorsCloud connection with Open Dental
Open Dental runs in the cloud, so the connection is cloud-to-cloud over its API: the AI layer and Open Dental talk in real time without anything installed. Your data stays in Open Dental.
Open Dental + ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Codex & MCP
Each AI tool does something different around Open Dental: ChatGPT (OpenAI) and Gemini (Google) draft and summarise text, Claude AI (Anthropic) reasons over complex cases, Perplexity searches and verifies facts on the fly, and Codex or GitHub Copilot help write the connector code. None of them, on their own, acts on your data — they don't read a contact, book an appointment or chase an invoice. EBROTECH builds the connector with Claude Code and OpenAI models, exposed as an MCP server where it fits, so those AI agents do act on top of Open Dental, safely and with your approval.

Frequently asked questions about Open Dental
Do I have to move off Open Dental?
No. Open Dental stays your system. We build the AI agents on top and migrate nothing.
Can you connect AI to Open Dental directly?
Yes. Open Dental publishes a REST API and a FHIR interface through its developer portal. We connect directly using the developer and customer keys, with the required Business Associate Agreement in place for patient data.
Can the voice AI book into Open Dental?
That is the aim. It takes the call, checks the schedule and writes the appointment back into Open Dental. We scope the write access in discovery.
What do you automate first on top of Open Dental?
Usually catching missed calls and running the recalls that are slipping, because that is what fills the schedule fastest. The rest is added in phases.
