We design your network layout before construction begins, so data drops, server locations, and wireless access points are planned into the build: not added as an afterthought.

Opening, Buying, or Moving Your Practice?
Get the IT Right From Day One.
Starting a dental practice is one of the biggest investments of your career. The IT decisions you make at the beginning will affect your practice for years: how your network is structured, how your systems are configured, how your data is protected. DTC has built and moved hundreds of dental practices across the Mid-Atlantic. We know what works, what doesn't, and how to keep your opening day on schedule.
Been there, done that
We've Done This Hundreds of Times.
Whether you're building from scratch, taking over an existing practice, or relocating to a new space, the IT component is more complex than most people anticipate, and the mistakes are expensive to fix after the fact.
Wrong network infrastructure means patient data moving slowly or insecurely. Improperly configured systems mean HIPAA exposure before you've seen your first patient. Technology installed without a plan means costly retrofits six months in.
You Don't Have to Figure It Out Alone.
01 Opening a New Practice
Building Your First Practice? Here's What Your IT Plan Needs to Include.
New dental practice builds involve dozens of technology decisions that need to be made in the right sequence: before walls go up, before equipment is ordered, before your opening date is set. Getting these decisions right early saves significant money and prevents the kind of last-minute scrambling that pushes opening dates back.
DTC works with you from the planning stage through opening day to make sure every technology decision is made correctly the first time.
From intraoral cameras to digital X-ray systems to chairside monitors, we install and configure the clinical technology your practice depends on, integrated with your practice management software from day one.
We install and configure Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Carestream, or your platform of choice: properly connected to your imaging systems, your front desk workstations, and your network.
Your network needs to be structured correctly for HIPAA compliance before you see your first patient. We build it right from the start: access controls, encryption, audit logging, and the documentation to prove it.
We spec, procure, configure, and deploy every workstation and server in your practice, ready to go on opening day.
Your front desk phones are critical from day one. We install and configure a professional VoIP system built for a dental practice's call volume and workflow.
03 Moving or Relocating Your Practice
Relocating Your Practice? The Move Is the Easy Part. The Technology Isn't.
Moving a dental practice involves carefully planned disconnection of clinical technology, safe transport, and precise reinstallation in a new space: often under pressure to minimize the gap in patient care. When something goes wrong with the technology during a move, the cost is felt immediately.
DTC manages the full technology component of practice relocations: from pre-move planning through final testing in the new space, so your team walks into a fully operational practice on day one.
Pre-Move Planning & Disconnection
We fully document your current setup before anything moves — network topology, devices, software configs — then carefully disconnect and pack everything in the right order so it can be rebuilt precisely in the new space.
New Space Infrastructure
We work with your contractor to ensure the new space is wired correctly before your equipment arrives: data drops in the right locations, proper power, and network infrastructure in place.
Reinstallation & Testing
We reinstall and reconfigure everything in the new space and don't hand it back until every system is tested and working: imaging, practice management software, phones, and network.
Minimal Downtime Planning
We schedule moves strategically to minimize the impact on your schedule and get you back to seeing patients as quickly as possible.

We Know Dental
We've been exclusively focused on dental IT since 1999. We know your software, your clinical equipment, your compliance requirements, and your workflow. You won't spend time explaining your practice to us.

Buildouts run late. Contractors change schedules. We've navigated enough construction projects to stay flexible, communicate proactively, and still hit your opening date.
No Retrofits, No Rework
The most expensive IT problems are the ones fixed after the fact. When we plan and build your practice technology from the start, you're not spending money correcting decisions that could have been made correctly the first time.
We're There After Opening Day
We don't hand you a network diagram and disappear. DTC becomes your ongoing IT partner: available when something needs attention and proactively monitoring your systems, so problems don't catch you off guard.
Got Questions?
Common Questions About New Practice IT Setup
As early as possible: ideally before construction begins. Network infrastructure decisions need to be made before walls go up. The earlier we're involved, the smoother the process and the less expensive any corrections are.
That's a common situation. We'll assess what's there, tell you exactly what needs to be addressed and in what order, and give you a clear plan and timeline for getting everything up to standard.
Yes. We have extensive experience with Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Carestream, Dexis, and the major imaging platforms used in dental practices. We install, configure, and integrate them, and we support them after opening.
It depends on the size of the practice and the complexity of the new space. We'll give you a realistic timeline during your initial consultation, and we build in contingencies for the surprises that come with any move.
