Sound familiar?
What dental practices on Open Dental tell us before a project starts.
- We write the same queries every month to get recall and production numbers.
- Someone checks the schedule each morning to find the gaps.
- New patients fill in paper forms that get typed in again.
- Our patient messaging tool and Open Dental are not in step.
- The owner has to ask for numbers across offices.
What we build
Each one is a working piece you can open and check when it's done.
Reports that run themselves
The queries your office runs by hand turned into scheduled reports that arrive in your inbox or on a page, with the same numbers each time.
ETL and data pipelines Dashboards and reportingRecall and reactivation
Patients due for recall or lapsed built into a list each week and passed to your messaging system, with those already booked removed.
Python scripts and utilities n8n, Make and Zapier automationSchedule gap alerts
A morning note of the openings this week and the patients waiting for an earlier time, so the front desk starts with a plan.
n8n, Make and Zapier automationDigital intake forms
New patients fill in forms before arrival, and the answers go to a system built for patient information, not to a spreadsheet.
Web apps and MVPsMessaging kept in step
Appointment changes in Open Dental reflected in the tool that sends reminders, so patients stop getting messages about visits that moved.
API integrations and data syncMulti-office overview
Production, new patients and cancellations by office on one page, built from each office's data.
Dashboards and reportingWhat we connect it to: Google Sheets, Twilio, Gmail, Zapier, Make, n8n.
Industries that use it: Dental.
Example projects
Illustrations of the shape of the work, not past clients. Yours gets its own written scope.
Example project
Monthly numbers by email
Example: an Open Dental office runs the same production and new-patient queries on the first of each month. A scheduled job runs them and sends the results to the owner as one summary.
Open Dental queries, Python, emailExample project
Reminders match the schedule
Example: a practice moves appointments daily and its reminder tool keeps texting the old time. A sync keeps the reminder tool in line with the schedule.
Open Dental API, eConnector, n8nExample project
Three offices, one page
Example: a group with three Open Dental offices wants one weekly page comparing production, new patients and cancellations.
Open Dental queries, ETL job, dashboardQuestions people ask first
Does Open Dental have an API?
Yes. It has an API that runs through the eConnector, and it can run read-only queries. Your version and setup decide what is available, so we confirm that in the scope.
Do we have to change practice software?
No. Open Dental stays your system of record.
What about patient information?
Patient health information stays in systems set up for it, such as Open Dental and the messaging tools your office already uses for patients. We do not put it in general-purpose tools, and we plan what moves where with you first.
