Exact

Reviewed: 29 July 2026

Exact by Software of Excellence is a leading dental practice management system used by thousands of dental practices. It helps streamline appointments, patient records, billing, and reporting for dental clinics.

Versions

Exact supports two integration versions: Public and Private. The version determines which API endpoints and authentication methods are used.

• Public - uses Exact's public API. Only requires a Care Unit ID. Supports fetching available timeslots and booking appointments through the public booking flow.
• Private - uses Exact's authenticated private API. Requires a Client ID, Client Secret, Care Unit ID, and User ID. Enables full access to appointment management, patient records, and other resources.

You'll be able to choose the version during the integration setup in the Leyr developer portal.
