Get startedWhat Open Dental does well
Dental software built by a dentist and sold without a contract.
- Invoicing
- One customer file for everything
- Online client portal (book, pay, see invoices)
Nassima covers these natively too — they are not a reason to choose between us.
Where Open Dental is the better choice
- Third-party app store
The limits of Open Dental
- $149/month ($199 the first year) but not cloud-native: hosting adds $75-150/month
- Accounting module widely criticised by users
- No website included, no AI, no ZATCA / FTA / Factur-X compliance
Both lists come from the same capability assessment. Capabilities we have not assessed for Open Dental are left out rather than counted against it.
Where Nassima goes further
Open Dental gives you an enormous amount of control. Nassima gives you control without requiring your team to become software experts.
The interface stays simple, the AI explains what to do, and authorized tasks can be completed for you. CRM, workflows, communication, operations, reporting and business intelligence live together instead of being assembled through bridges and separate services.
Configuration should give your business freedom, not another administrative job.
Switching, or running both
Put Nassima in front of the workflows your staff performs every day.
Move the customer, administrative and operational work first. Keep Open Dental underneath for specialist dental data or integrations while you still need them.
When the team stops thinking about Open Dental and starts asking Nassima, the transition is already happening.
