IT Support for Dental Practices: Your Questions Answered
What makes dental practice IT different from medical IT?
Dental practices use specialty practice management platforms (Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental, Curve Dental, tab32) that differ from EHR systems used in medical. Imaging requirements include digital sensors, intraoral cameras, panoramic and CBCT systems integrated through DEXIS, Schick, or similar platforms. Workflow demands chairside Wi-Fi reliability that medical office environments rarely require at the same density.
Does PCG support Dentrix and Eaglesoft?
Yes. PCG supports the major dental practice management platforms including Dentrix (Henry Schein), Eaglesoft (Patterson), Open Dental, Curve Dental, and tab32. We handle installation, updates, multi-operatory deployments, server administration, and integration with imaging platforms and digital sensors.
How does PCG handle dental HIPAA compliance?
PCG implements HIPAA Security Rule safeguards designed for dental practice workflows: encrypted patient data at rest and in transit, role-based access controls for hygienists vs assistants vs front office, audit logging for patient record access, BAAs with all vendors handling PHI, and security awareness training for clinical and administrative staff. Annual risk assessments documented for compliance audits.
What about digital imaging system integration?
PCG supports DEXIS, Schick, Sirona, Carestream, and other major digital imaging platforms. We handle sensor installation, integration with your practice management software, network configuration to support large image file transfers, and backup strategies that protect both patient records and imaging data.
