Open Dental Bridge to Second Opinion
With just a one-time setup, you’ll be able to launch Second Opinion for a specific patient directly from their Open Dental chart—no need to open a separate browser or manually search for the patient anymore.
This streamlined workflow is designed to save your team time and reduce clicks during patient care.
