Opencare's Mission   To reinvent how dentists run their practices, so they can focus on what matters most : providing exceptional patient care.

• Running a dental practice is becoming more and more complicated every year.

At Opencare, we believe that dentists shouldn't have to worry about managing their practice, which frees them up to prioritize world class patient care experiences.  After all, we live our most important life moments, from laughing and smiling to eating and talking, through our mouths.

We want to change that.
