Which practice management systems does Valian support?
Valian connects to the major dental systems — Open Dental, Dentrix, Dentrix Ascend, Eaglesoft, Curve, and Denticon — so Amy books into your real schedule. Here's the full list and how each one connects.
Updated Jul 9, 2026
Valian connects to the practice management software (PMS) you already use, so Amy reads your real openings and books straight into your schedule. You don't switch systems, and you don't change how your team charts or bills. Amy simply joins the software you already run.
Tip
You can go live before your PMS is fully connected. Once your phone number is forwarded, Amy answers every call and text and captures what each patient needs. She starts booking into your schedule the moment your PMS shows Connected.
The short answer
Valian supports the major dental systems:
- Open Dental
- Dentrix
- Dentrix Ascend
- Eaglesoft
- Curve
- Denticon
If you use one of these, Amy can see your schedule and book into it. Don't see yours? Tell your onboarding contact — we add systems as practices need them, and we'll confirm exactly what's possible for yours before you rely on it.
Three ways Valian connects
Every PMS links to Valian in one of three ways. Which one you use depends on your system, not on anything you have to figure out.
1. Direct connection (Open Dental)
Open Dental connects directly using a pair of keys you generate inside Open Dental. Nothing gets installed on your computers, and setup usually takes a few minutes. Walk through it in Connecting Open Dental to Valian.
2. Secure connector (Dentrix, Eaglesoft)
Dentrix and Eaglesoft run on a computer or server in your office. Valian reaches them through a small, secure connector we install on that machine during a short, scheduled session with your IT contact. See Connecting Dentrix or Eaglesoft to Valian.
3. Cloud authorization (Dentrix Ascend, Curve, Denticon)
Cloud systems connect by signing in and authorizing Valian on screen — no install. Because each cloud system shares a different set of capabilities, your onboarding contact confirms exactly what Amy can read and write for yours. See Connecting a cloud PMS.

Note
Valian was built to work across systems, not to lock you into one. If you switch PMS later, tell us and we move the connection with you — Amy keeps answering the whole time.
What connecting actually does
Once your PMS is connected, Amy reads your live openings, writes new bookings straight into your schedule, keeps patient records matched to the right person, and syncs reschedules and cancellations. Exactly what moves between Valian and your PMS varies a little by system — see What syncs with your PMS, and what doesn't.
If your system isn't listed
Tell your onboarding contact, submit a ticket from the Help Center, or email onboarding@valiansystems.com. Even before a connection is in place, Amy answers every call and text and holds each request safely, so nothing slips while we sort out your system.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to install anything? Only for server-based systems (Dentrix, Eaglesoft), and we do that install with you in a short session. Open Dental and the cloud systems need nothing installed.
Can I run more than one system across locations? Yes. If your locations use different PMS software, we connect each one. Talk to your onboarding contact so we set them up in the right order.
What if I switch my PMS later? Let us know before the change and we reconnect Valian to the new system. Amy keeps answering calls and texts throughout the move.
Is my system fully supported for booking? Most are. Open Dental, Dentrix, and Eaglesoft support full two-way booking. Some cloud systems let Amy read your schedule fully but confirm new bookings a little differently — your onboarding contact tells you exactly how yours works before you go live.
My PMS isn't on the list — can I still use Amy? Yes. Amy answers, takes messages, and captures what each caller needs regardless. She books into your schedule as soon as a connection is set up.
