👋 Who We Are

Opencare is a patient acquisition platform built for modern dental practices. We connect high-intent patients with top-tier dentists across North America, helping practices grow sustainably through high-quality bookings—not just leads.

Since 2014, we’ve helped thousands of practices attract new patients, boost appointment retention, and fill their chairs more efficiently. Our mission is simple: to empower great dentists to thrive.

🌟 Why Practices Choose Opencare

With Opencare, you get more than just another listing or ads platform—you get:

Pre-screened patients: We match you with patients actively looking for care and ready to book.
Practice growth insights: You’ll receive actionable reporting and dedicated support to help you scale.
Hassle-free onboarding: We handle the heavy lifting so you can focus on care, not marketing.

Our goal? To make growing your practice as effortless as possible.

🔍 How Opencare Works

At a high level, here’s how the Opencare ecosystem works:

Patients visit opencare.com, looking for a trusted dentist in their area.
They answer a few questions so we can understand their needs.
Based on their answers, we match them with your practice—if you’re a fit.
The patient books an appointment directly with you within Opencare.
You deliver an amazing experience—and we help ensure they come back again.

Throughout this course, we’ll walk you through how to optimize your profile, manage bookings, and convert first-time patients into loyal ones.

🖥️ Follow Along in Your Opencare Dashboard

To get the most out of this course, we highly recommend that you:

Keep this course open in one browser tab and your Opencare dashboard open in another.

This way, you’ll:

Learn faster by doing
Finish setup as you go (no to-do list later!)
Be fully prepared for your onboarding call

Don’t worry—each step is designed to be simple and quick, with clear guidance provided throughout.

⏱ Want a Faster Onboarding Meeting?

Here’s the deal:

If you complete this course before your onboarding meeting, your session will be quick and focused—just 10 to 15 minutes, dedicated entirely to answering your questions and helping you refine your setup.

If the course isn’t completed beforehand, your onboarding will take significantly longer (up to 45–60 minutes) because we’ll need to walk you through everything from scratch—including tasks you could have easily completed here in just a few clicks.

Save time. Come prepared. Get the most out of your Opencare experience.
