One of the biggest surprises after moving from SoftDent to Open Dental isn't the data conversion itself. It's the cleanup that comes after—especially insurance plans and fee schedules. Planning real time for this step can save your team weeks of frustration after go-live. 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗴 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 👇 #SKFPracticeSolutions #OpenDental #OpenDentalTraining

Every practice wants change, but very few changes roll out perfectly the first time. New systems, new workflows, and new expectations often come with a little chaos before they create clarity. The messy part doesn't mean it's failing. It usually means your team is learning, adjusting, and building something better.

Wishing a very happy birthday to Alex Rice, Software Trainer here at SKF Practice Solutions. Alex brings incredible expertise and patience to every Comp Exam, conversion, and training session she leads... our clients (and our team) are better for it. Cheers to you today, Alex!

If you're a SoftDent office considering Open Dental, here's the honest version of what happens. Some data converts cleanly... employees, billing types, daily memos. Other things come over but need real verification, like provider records, adjustment types, and chart conditions. And a few things don't transfer at all, including appointment types, images, and outstanding claims. The biggest post-conversion project by far is insurance plan and fee schedule cleanup. Open Dental structures this differently than SoftDent, so budget real time for it, not "I'll knock it out during lunch" time. We wrote the full breakdown so you know exactly what's coming before you flip the switch. 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗴 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 👇 #SKFPracticeSolutions #OpenDental #OpenDentalTraining

Training your team on new software and calling it done after day one? That's where most rollouts fall apart. Accountability isn't a checkbox, it's a loop you build into the workflow. Check in, adjust, repeat. That's how adoption actually sticks. 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗴 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 👇 #SKFPracticeSolutions #OpenDental #OpenDentalTraining

Skipping ahead can feel like progress. But in dental practices, the things we rush through, training, systems, documentation, and workflows, often become the problems we spend months trying to fix later. Slow down, do it right, and save yourself the rework. 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗴 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 👇 #SKFPracticeSolutions #OpenDental #Training
