Zero server management

Native AI, not plugins
Open Dental relies on community plugins with no native intelligence. NexV ships with AI agents built into charting, phone, imaging, and scheduling out of the box.
Automatic updates
No more scheduling downtime for version upgrades. NexV deploys updates continuously — every improvement is live the moment it ships, with zero disruption.
Switching from Open Dental is painless.
Our AI-powered migration engine connects directly to your MySQL database, extracts every record, and maps legacy codes into NexV automatically. No manual spreadsheet work, no data loss.
