IT support built around your oral & maxillofacial surgery practice
Cone-beam imaging and surgical planning software push storage and network demands well past a typical operatory, and downtime during a scheduled procedure carries a different order of urgency than a slow front-desk screen. We build around that.
Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery is not general dentistry with different software
An oral and maxillofacial surgery practice generates imaging files that dwarf what a general dentistry office produces day to day, and the surgical schedule has far less tolerance for a slow system or an unplanned outage. A treatment-planning workstation that lags during a consult is an inconvenience. The same lag on a surgical day is a scheduling problem that ripples through the rest of the week.
We size storage for cone-beam imaging volume rather than general-practice averages, plan network throughput around large file transfers between imaging and planning workstations, and treat surgical-day uptime as a priority rather than a best-effort target. Backup and disaster recovery get sized the same way, because a lost imaging archive is not a quick re-scan.
Where a generic setup usually breaks first
- Storage sized for general-practice imaging volume that fills up faster than expected once cone-beam scans enter the mix
- Surgical planning workstations that were never load-tested against real case files, discovered only when a procedure is already scheduled
- Network throughput that bottlenecks when large imaging files move between the scanner, planning software, and archive
- A backup and disaster recovery plan built around a general dentistry practice's data volume and recovery-time expectations, not a surgical practice's
- No documented plan for what happens to the schedule if the network goes down on a surgical day

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery IT questions
Can you size storage for our cone-beam imaging volume specifically?
Yes. We size storage and archive strategy around your actual scan volume and retention needs, not a general-practice estimate. Imaging archives that fill unexpectedly or age out of accessible storage are a planning failure we design around up front.
What happens if the network goes down on a surgical day?
We build a documented plan for exactly that scenario as part of onboarding: what stays operational, what the fallback is for imaging access, and how quickly we can get you back online. A surgical practice cannot treat network downtime as a shrug and a help-desk ticket.
Do you support the imaging and planning software specific to oral surgery?
Yes, alongside whatever core PMS you run underneath it. We size workstations and network throughput around what the imaging and planning software actually demands, tested against real case files rather than assumed from spec sheets.
Is our surgical imaging archive covered by backup and disaster recovery?
It should be, and we verify that rather than assume it. A lost or corrupted imaging archive is not something a quick re-scan fixes for a treatment already planned, so we test restores on a schedule instead of trusting a green checkmark.
