Common questions
How does Baya work with Open Dental?
What should we prepare for an integration discussion?
Bring your Open Dental version and hosting details, the locations you want to connect, and the name of the person who manages your system. We can review the required access and scheduling workflow with your practice or IT contact before setup. Do not send passwords or patient records by email.
Is Open Dental integration included in the plan?
Yes. Your $199 monthly plan includes a native Open Dental integration for one practice location.
Does Baya replace Open Dental?
No. Open Dental remains the system of record for the patient record and appointment book. Baya provides scheduling and communication workflows around it.
Can Baya create or reschedule appointments in Open Dental?
Yes. Your team reviews and confirms new appointments or rescheduling, and Baya checks availability again before updating Open Dental.
Is Baya affiliated with Open Dental Software?
No. Open Dental is a trademark of Open Dental Software. Baya Dental is not affiliated with or endorsed by Open Dental Software.
