Opencare’s Vision

To reinvent how dentists run their practices, so they can focus on what matters most: providing exceptional patient care.

Opencare is building technology to transform the dental industry.

Running a dental practice is becoming more and more complicated every year. At Opencare, we believe that dentists shouldn't have to worry about managing their practice, they should focus on providing world class patient care experiences. After all, we live our most important life moments, from laughing and smiling to eating and talking, through our mouths.

Yet for such an important body part, the thought of visiting the dentist instills fear and confusion in most people. We want to change that.

Through the Opencare technology platform, we are enabling dentists to connect with new patients, streamline their day-to-day operations, and manage their billing seamlessly. All of this frees up time and energy that can be dedicated to helping patients understand and improve their oral wellness.
