Where it wins. Open Dental earns a 72% mention rate in Dental Practice Management, landing rank 2 of 15 competing tools. The 'Best overall' prompt theme is where it concentrates almost all of its AI presence.
Where it loses. First-pick selection sits at 11%, meaning AI models surface it often but rarely hand it the top recommendation. It is completely absent from enterprise and budget conversations, leaving two buyer segments to competitors like Dentrix and Curve Dental.
