Flex Dental Solutions, the workflow optimization platform built for Open Dental practices, has announced the launch of FlexPayments powered by Stripe, a fully integrated payment processing solution designed to simplify how dental practices collect and manage payments. FlexPayments allows practices to accept in-office, online, and remote payments directly through Flex Dental while automatically posting transactions into the Open Dental database, eliminating the disconnected tools and manual reconciliation that often slow down front desk operations.

Why it matters

Dental practices have long relied on third-party processors and disconnected systems that introduce administrative complexity, increase reconciliation work, and create inconsistent payment experiences for patients. FlexPayments addresses these challenges by connecting financial workflows directly to the systems practices already rely on to manage daily operations, helping them accelerate collections, save administrative time, reduce overdue balances, and protect sensitive payment data.

The details

FlexPayments provides features such as Stripe-powered terminals, secure text-to-pay and email-to-pay options, next-day payouts, automated posting and simplified payment reminders, PCI-compliance infrastructure and advanced fraud protection, and support for HSA/FSA cards and digital wallets. The solution is designed to help dental teams maintain a single source of truth for operational, financial and patient data.

  • FlexPayments is available now to Open Dental practices across the United States.
  • Existing Flex Dental customers can join the FlexPayments waitlist to begin onboarding.
