How Peak Leverage connects to Open Dental
Open Dental is a comprehensive dental practice management system available for on-premise or cloud environments. It manages the entire clinical and administrative workflow, from patient charting and treatment planning to scheduling, billing, and insurance claim processing.
Auth model
Authentication requires two keys: a Developer Key provided by Open Dental to the software vendor, and a Customer Key generated within the specific dental practice's Open Dental software. Both must be passed in the headers of API requests.
API model
Data moves securely from the website application through Open Dental's secure middle-tier API servers, routing down to the practice's local or cloud-hosted database, allowing real-time read/write capabilities without exposing the local server directly.
