Confirms eligibility and follows claims against the patient's Open Dental record, cutting the back-and-forth between payer portals and the patient's ledger.
Insurance eligibility verificationRecall & Reactivation
Takes your Open Dental recall list and works it: outreach to overdue patients, with the rebooked visits written back into the appointment book.
Scheduling
Books inside your providers' hours, operatories, blockouts and appointment-type lengths, exactly as you've set them in Open Dental.
Digital Forms
Completed intake forms attach to the right Open Dental patient, with nothing to copy over by hand.
Patient Communications
Texts and reminders linked to the Open Dental appointment, so the conversation and the booking always match.
How the Open Dental connection works
One quick approval from your office, then the Elva team handles the rest. Your appointment book and workflow stay exactly as they are.
Set Up My IntegrationTell us how your practice runs
One kickoff call covers your providers, appointment types, insurance plans and where you want Elva to help first.
Approve Elva in Open Dental — we do the rest
Open Dental asks every practice to approve a new connection. We walk you through that one step, then connect Elva and load your rules. From there, everything syncs live in both directions.
Go live with nothing changed
Same phone number, same Open Dental. Your team keeps working the way it always has.
Built around how Open Dental practices actually run
The rules already in your Open Dental appointment book are the rules Elva follows. No second setup to maintain.
A cancelled visit shows up in Open Dental the moment it happens, ready for your ASAP list instead of sitting empty.
Evening and weekend callers get booked into Open Dental on the spot rather than leaving a message.
A summary and transcript of each call is saved to the patient's Open Dental record, so nobody has to ask what was said.
Every caller is answered right away, even when every line at the desk is busy.
Calls, recall, insurance, billing and scheduling share one live connection, not a patchwork of add-ons.
Talk to Your Open Dental Data in Plain Language
Ask Elva anything about your Open Dental data: a patient's balance, whether a plan covers a crown, who's due for recall. It answers in plain language, reading straight from Open Dental, so nobody has to build a report to get a number.

Contact UsFAQ
Does Elva integrate with Open Dental?
Yes. Elva is an Authorized API Partner for Open Dental. One real-time connection syncs calls, recall, insurance, billing, scheduling and forms in both directions.
Does Open Dental have an AI receptionist built in?
No. Open Dental runs your appointment book, records and billing, but it doesn't answer your phones. Elva adds that, plus recall and insurance work, on top of the Open Dental you already use.
Do we need to do anything inside Open Dental?
Just approve the connection, which Open Dental asks every practice to do. The Elva team walks you through it on the setup call and handles everything else.
Will our phone number or Open Dental routine change?
No. Patients call the same number, and your team keeps its Open Dental routine as it is.
What happens with a call or task that needs a person?
It goes to your team with a summary attached, following rules your practice sets and can change at any time.
Which Elva module should I look at first?
Start where the gap is. Calls going unanswered → AI receptionist for Open Dental. Overdue patients not coming back → dental recall software. Claims and eligibility eating staff time → insurance eligibility verification.
