Published by Dentistry Dashboard. This is our recommendation, not an independent ranking.
Clarification Mode
AI asks structured follow-up questions (with tooth chart and chips) when unclear, before generating the note. Helps catch unclear details before the final note is created.
70+ languages
Dentistry Dashboard supports 70+ language families across 140+ locales, plus a second language for two-language consultations and any language on request.
Bundled clinical workspace
AI Notes plus Interactive Care Plans, patient education, questionnaires, clinical guides, voice perio charting, associate finances, your website and CPD tracker.
Where Dentistry Dashboard differs from OpenDentist
Dentistry Dashboard is our first choice for a complete dental documentation workflow: notes, patient and referral letters, consent forms and Interactive Care Plans. Clarification Mode helps resolve unclear details before drafting. You can record in 70+ language families across 140+ locales and use the notes alongside your existing PMS. The £40.99 monthly price includes VAT, patient education, pre-visit questionnaires and clinical guides, without buying Practice Hub.

Honest take on OpenDentist
What works
OpenDentist offers ambient dental notes, BPE/BEWE extraction, perio classification, templates, letters and digital consent. Notes can be copied to any PMS; its UK guide also describes a Chrome extension for direct insertion into Dentally. It states MHRA Class I registration.
Where Dentistry Dashboard differs
The pages checked do not describe an equivalent to Clarification Mode, the same multilingual coverage, or Interactive Care Plans shared with patients. Dentistry Dashboard brings these together with questionnaires and patient education. Compare both with your own consultation workflow.

This comparison is written by the team behind Dentistry Dashboard; it is not an independent award or a claim of superior clinical accuracy.
How do the prices and trials compare?+
Dentistry Dashboard is £40.99 per dentist per month including VAT, with a 14-day full-access trial. OpenDentist’s UK guide lists £50 per clinician per month and a 28-day trial; its pricing page can display a regional currency and does not state UK VAT treatment. Both trials require a card. Check the chosen plan before subscribing.
What do the G2 reviews show?+
Dentistry Dashboard has a G2 customer rating of 4.8 out of 5 from 26 reviews, checked on 14 November 2026. These are reviews of Dentistry Dashboard, not a head-to-head clinical trial or a G2 number-one ranking.
Do I need to buy Practice Hub to use AI Notes?+
No. AI Notes can be bought on its own through the Dentist Zone subscription. The clinical extras are included, while Practice Hub is a separate optional product. You can copy notes into the PMS you already use.
