What we look after

The IT a dental practice actually runs on.

From the practice management software on reception to the imaging PC at the chair, we look after the technology a Kent dental practice depends on for every appointment.

  • · 01

    Practice software, kept running

    We look after the IT around your practice management system, whether that is Software of Excellence, R4, Dentally or iSmile, the server or cloud behind it, the PC at each chair, logins, printing and the scanner links, and we liaise with the software vendor when an issue is theirs to fix.

  • · 02

    Imaging, scanners and the workstations behind them

    X-rays and scans are no use if the PC will not load them. We support the workstations running Romexis and CS Imaging, the link to your CBCT and intraoral scanners such as iTero and TRIOS, and the storage holding every image.

  • · 03

    Wi-Fi and cabling across every surgery

    Reliable network from reception to the back surgery, properly cabled so each chair stays connected, with a separate Wi-Fi for patients in the waiting room kept apart from your clinical systems.

  • · 04

    Patient data, DSPT and CQC readiness

    Dental records and X-rays are special-category health data. We help you keep them access-controlled, encrypted and backed up, with the technical evidence behind the NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit, the Caldicott principles, CQC and GDPR.

  • · 05

    Backups and out-of-hours cover

    Tested backups of your clinical data and images, plus support that gets the practice open on time. A server down at 8am means a waiting room of cancelled appointments, so we plan for it and can cover before the first patient arrives.

  • · 06

    Secure devices and NHS systems

    Multi-factor authentication on every account, encrypted laptops, a tidy joiner-and-leaver process, and the IT around NHS Compass and FP17 claims and your Denplan or Practice Plan admin, all set up properly with one local number to call.

The day-to-day services behind this are the same ones we provide every business: Microsoft 365, cybersecurity and Wi-Fi and networking, set up for the way dental practices actually work.

Why dental practices are different

Higher stakes than the average office.

  • 01

    The data is sensitive

    Patient clinical records, X-ray images and medical histories are exactly the special-category health data the rules are strictest on.

  • 02

    Downtime cancels appointments

    If the server or the chairside PC goes down, the X-rays will not load, the diary stops and the waiting room backs up.

  • 03

    Inspectors will ask

    CQC and the NHS DSPT expect access control, backups and a plan. We make the technical side solid.

FAQs

Common questions from dental practices.

Anything we have missed? Drop us a line and we will happily talk it through, no obligation.

  • A.01

    Yes. We support the IT around systems like Software of Excellence, R4, Dentally and iSmile, plus imaging on Romexis and CS Imaging and the link to CBCT and intraoral scanners such as iTero and TRIOS. We look after the server, workstations, logins, Wi-Fi and printing they rely on, and we deal with the software vendor when the issue sits with the application itself.

  • A.02

    We handle the IT side: access control, secure and encrypted devices, multi-factor authentication, tested backups and the technical evidence behind the Data Security and Protection Toolkit, the Caldicott principles and CQC. We are not a compliance consultancy, but we make sure the technical controls are genuinely in place, including the route to Cyber Essentials.

  • A.03

    Yes. A clinic that cannot open on time is a day of cancelled appointments, so we build cover to suit. Our Premium monthly plan includes an out-of-hours line and we will agree a sensible response plan with you up front, so a problem can be sorted before the first patient arrives.

  • A.04

    No. We offer simple monthly support plans you can cancel with a month’s notice, or pay per visit if you only need us occasionally, on a no fix, no fee basis.

  • A.05

    No. Ashford is our base, but we support dental practices across the whole of Kent, on-site where it is needed and over a secure remote session where it is quicker.
