The Open Dental production report can be run in a few different ways to derive production, collections, and adjustment numbers.

Practice-Web users: The instructions outlined below for Open Dental can be utilized to run an accurate report in your Practice-Web platform as well. Please follow the steps below to run your report in Practice-Web.

Run Production Report in Open Dental

We do NOT recommend running reports using “Procedure Date”. If you would like to run an Open Dental report that is accurate and reflects the same numbers you see in Analytics, follow the instructions below.

  1. In the main menu of Open Dental, click on Reports, then click Standard

  2. In the Production and Income section of Reports, click on More Options

  3. In the Date Range, change the time period to match a time period in your Analytics dashboard (ie, a week or month)

  4. Select the checkbox to run the report for All Providers

  5. Select to show insurance writeoffs using the insurance payment date

  6. In the lower right corner, select the checkbox to Include Unearned

  7. Click OK

Next, look at the Dental Intelligence Performance Board for the same time period to see completed (1) Production and (2) Adjustments. The Collections Board will show (3) Collections for that same period. Please note that our Net Production (which Open Dental calls Total Production) does not include the remainder of your Scheduled production, while Open Dental's does.
