Have You Had Your Fill-ing of Bad Computer Support for Dental Offices?
We’ve all been there. Trusting a company that claims to be good at computer support for dental offices – only to have them let you down. There’s no doubt that there are computer-fix-it companies in Cedar City, Idaho Falls, and St George that don’t have the experience or the skillset to deal with the complex IT environment of a dental practice.
But if you’re in the market for a new IT support team, you don’t have to search around on the internet any further.
You’re at the right place!
The SymTec team will leverage their experience with dental IT systems to help you take control of your technology.
We Cover More Than Computer Support For Dental Offices!
Although we love working with the local dentist office, we know that the broader dental industry is in need of IT support as well. We leverage our skills in dentistry technology to help oral surgeons, orthodontists, pediatric dentists, prosthodontic practices, and surgeons involved in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Each aspect of the dental industry has unique IT requirements, and we are proud to be a tiny part of helping people to be healthier and smile bigger.
Software for Dental Offices
You didn’t think that setting up the IT for your dental office would be so challenging! There are many dental software choices to pick from, and it’s hard to discern which one is the right one for you. All of them offer different advantages, and without spending time working with each system, it’s difficult to know which is best. Computer support for dental offices just isn’t your forte. After all, you trained to care for people’s health and to run the administrative side of practice – not the technology.
It’s becoming apparent to you that trying to manage the IT for your dental office is more than you can handle alongside the needs of your busy practice. You need an outsourced, IT support team with expertise in dental software to help you sort between the options.
For example:
If you are a dental office with ten workstations and one server that uses Eaglesoft and is considering moving to WinOMs. Who would you talk to about that switchover?
Sure, you could call the software developer. Each sales associate will give you the pitch about why theirs is the best for you, and you’ll likely leave the conversation just as confused as you were before.
Maybe you use Carestream for your imaging, but there are just a few things about it that don’t seem to fit the way you want to use that important software. Who do you call to make the software do what YOU want it to do?
Unbiased software advice can only come from experts that know dentistry and are familiar with the inner workings of dental software. The IT experts at SymTec can give you insight that will cut through the software salesman’s pitch and help you make an informed decision for your practice.

Computer Support For Dental Offices That Understands HIPAA Compliance
Your dental practice contains as nearly much personal information about your patients as the doctor’s office down the road. The law states that the health records of your patients must be protected and that you must follow the guidelines laid out in the HIPAA legislation. To help dental industry clients of SymTec get and stay compliant, we offer reviews that will enable us to help you spot potential shortfalls.
Our HIPAA reviews include:
- Onsite Analysis of Existing Policies & Systems in Place
- Thorough Analysis and Deliverables Reporting of Findings
- Implementation Plan to Ensure Compliance
- Audits for All Complete Care Clients
Once we have identified areas where your IT systems don’t live up to the letter of HIPAA standards, we can then work with you to bring your practice up to par by tackling the shortfalls one by one.
