We are switching from eaglesoft to open dental and I’m currently going over a check list. Please tell me it gets easier. My head is already spinning. I’ve never used open dental.

You will feel considerably better in about 2 weeks, and will be amazed at what you’ve learned. Keep an open mind. Be patient with yourself. Take time to watch the webinars on the website and YouTube. Schedule a online training or two if you need. Call when you need help (one or two issues at a time). Disclosure: I do work for the company. But this just means I’ve seen many, many offices convert, and the vast majority love the program and the support team. Thanks for becoming a customer!
You need to call Bruce Stephenson! He will help you!! We switched from Eaglesoft to Open Dental about a year ago and could not have done it without him!!
I changed offices a month ago. Went from ES to now Open Dental. The first few weeks I thought how am I gonna ever learn this but now it is easier and is getting better every day. The tech support is awesome! Utilize them!
Love open dental! Hated it when switching over from Dentrix because change is hard! No one in office knew how to work it and just learned as we went along. Best advice I can give you is any question you may have go to their web page and look at the search bar. Type whatever issue you may be having and it will give you step by step instructions. That’s what kept me from going crazy. I love it now!
I converted last April and felt the same. The program is hands down the best dental practice management software out there. Do not be intimidated and focus on setting up one thing at a time. We are still learning to use new features almost a year later that make our job easier! There is a lot to the switch but everything you add and implement will make your office better. I love the product! Great support too.
The initial conversion may seem overwhelming but is a quick and easy transition! You’ll get there! Use this group as a resource — excellent experiences are shared here!
Initial few weeks may be rocky but you’ll be so much happier soon! Way better than ES!
OD has many features and fuctionalities. Good news you can start small and as you learn you can incorporate more… Good Luck..
Love open dental and the customer service is top notch!
Open Dental is so much better. We just converted. The first two months will be rough and only because you will be used to the way Eaglesoft does things.
Thank you everyone Y’all make me feel better. As a Office Manager I love knowing the computer software without worry.
Jamie Lynn B. we are converting on April 16 & I have the checklist in hand as well. My head is spinning, too! Glad to hear such good feedback here.
You will be sooooooo much better in a couple weeks. Converted dozens of offices to OD from Eagleton and Dentrix
We were with Dentrix for 20 years and I am not going to lie, it was not easy to transition for me. My younger team members found it easier. Fast forward six months and we are doing great! Hang in there, it will be worth it!
Love the conversation on here about Open Dental!! Can anyone tell me what they did as far as the existing x-rays in ES. I know OD does not transfer them over. What is everyone doing to keep their existing x-rays?
