A faster, compliant, and reliable network for a busy dental practice.
A six-chair dental practice was expanding, but slow imaging software, unreliable WiFi in the operatories, and unclear HIPAA compliance were holding the team back and creating risk.
Aging equipment couldn't keep up with digital X-rays and practice-management software. WiFi dropped in back operatories, backups were never verified, and there was no documented plan to satisfy HIPAA requirements.
We rebuilt the network with business-grade switching and reliable WiFi in every operatory, migrated to verified encrypted backups with a tested recovery process, and implemented the security controls and documentation a HIPAA posture requires.
Our first recommendation was a fully redundant firewall pair with automatic failover, but it ran past what the practice could spend this year. Rather than thin out the security, we reconfigured their existing firewall with a tested manual failover and wrote up a recovery runbook the office could actually follow. It was more setup time on our end, but it got them the protection they needed at a number that worked.
“Imaging loads instantly now, the WiFi reaches every chair, and we finally have documentation we can hand an auditor. It let us grow without the tech being a bottleneck.”
