Detailed Review
Opus Dental is built by Opus Systemer AS, which describes the product as the record system for dental clinics in both the private and public sector. It claims more than 3,000 clinics and over 15,000 users across Scandinavia.
The Norwegian company is part of Planmeca Group of Finland, a family of dental equipment makers that also includes KaVo Dental GmbH. That puts the contracting entity in Norway and the parent group in the EU.
One system for the whole visit
The site lists the patient record, image viewing without leaving the file, patient messages with reminders and recalls, and finance with accounting in one product.
Extensions rather than a closed suite
Payment, patient communication and accounting tools connect through integrations, and the site has a partner and API page for outside developers.
A Nordic base
The pages are written in Norwegian and Swedish, and the vendor has worked with the dental trade for more than thirty years, which explains its place on Nordic shortlists.
Limitations to Consider
No pricing is shown, and the pages reviewed do not state where data is hosted or whether a web edition exists. The product is aimed at Nordic clinics, so billing for other countries is not part of the pitch. A group link with an equipment maker means imaging ties are worth checking; Denteo shows its terms more openly.
Who Should Use Opus Dental
Dental clinics in Norway and Sweden, public or private, that want one record system closely tied to imaging.
