IT support built around your prosthodontics practice
CAD/CAM design software and lab-integration workflows add another system that has to stay online and synced alongside the core PMS, often with its own licensing and update schedule. We keep all of it running together.
Prosthodontics is not general dentistry with different software
A prosthodontic practice runs CAD/CAM design software and lab-integration workflows on top of a core PMS, and each of those systems has its own licensing, update schedule, and connectivity requirements. Treating them as separate problems, or worse, as an afterthought to the PMS server, is how a design file fails to sync or a lab integration silently stops working until someone notices at pickup.
We keep CAD/CAM and lab-integration systems in scope alongside the PMS, not bolted on afterward: workstations sized for design software load, network throughput sized for large case file transfers, vendor-aware patching that doesn't break a certified CAD/CAM configuration, and backup that covers the design files and lab communication logs, not just the PMS database.
Where a generic setup usually breaks first
- CAD/CAM workstations sized for general office use, not for design software that chokes on large case files
- A lab-integration sync that fails silently and is only discovered when a case doesn't arrive as expected
- A Windows or driver update applied on a generic schedule that breaks a CAD/CAM configuration the vendor had certified against an older version
- Backup that covers the PMS database but not the design files or lab communication logs a case depends on
- Licensing and update schedules for CAD/CAM software that nobody on the IT side is actually tracking

Prosthodontics IT questions
Do you support CAD/CAM design software and lab integrations?
Yes. We keep CAD/CAM and lab-integration systems in scope alongside the core PMS, sizing workstations and network throughput for the case file sizes they actually generate, and keeping vendor-certified configurations documented.
Our lab integration failed silently and we only noticed at pickup. Can that be prevented?
Usually, yes. A silent sync failure is typically a monitoring gap, not an unavoidable risk. We monitor lab-integration status as its own priority rather than assuming no news is good news.
Is our case file and lab communication data covered by backup, not just the PMS?
It should be, and we verify that rather than assume it. Design files and lab communication logs are part of what we back up and test restores against, not an afterthought to the PMS database.
Can you help coordinate a CAD/CAM software update without breaking our configuration?
Yes. We treat vendor certification requirements as requirements, document exceptions where a vendor requires an older configuration, and coordinate updates around what's actually been certified rather than a generic patch schedule.
Read the PMS security checklist for the access, backup, and integration questions worth reviewing regardless of which platform you run.
Tell us what you run. We'll tell you what it needs.
A 15-minute call covers your current PMS, imaging setup, and location count, and what a properly sized environment around it actually looks like.
No pressure, no obligation. If we are not the right fit we will tell you and point you somewhere better.
