Solara and OpenDental: bookings that land straight in your schedule
Solara integrates with OpenDental practice management software. It keeps patients, appointments, providers, operatories, procedure codes, insurance and revenue in sync, checks provider and operatory availability before booking, and writes every booking, reschedule and transfer back to OpenDental automatically, so there is no double entry or end-of-day reconciliation.

How do AI bookings reach the OpenDental schedule?
Before booking, Solara checks provider and operatory availability in OpenDental and matches the right service and duration. It then books the appointment, and every booking, reschedule and transfer is written back to OpenDental automatically.
That holds for every channel: a phone call answered by the AI receptionist, a text message, or the chat on your website. There is no double entry and no end-of-day reconciliation.
Do I need to change my phone system?
No. Solara works with OpenDental and your existing phone line. During onboarding you connect your clinic phone number and your OpenDental account, and Solara starts answering on the number patients already know.
What else uses the OpenDental connection?
The same connection powers the rest of the platform. Insurance verified at intake is saved to the chart, recall works from your own patient list, reminders reflect the live schedule, and analytics read the revenue and procedure data already in OpenDental.
Does Solara work with other practice management systems?
Solara's practice management integration is with OpenDental. For dental groups, the Enterprise plan adds custom integrations for the rest of your tech stack, scoped during onboarding.
