Most dental imaging software comparisons focus on image quality. Almost none of them cover what happens after installation.
The IT setup underneath your imaging software determines whether it runs fast, stays HIPAA compliant, and integrates cleanly with your practice management system. Here is what each major platform requires.
The most common imaging software complaint is not image quality. It is speed.
Slow image load times mid-appointment almost always trace back to network or storage issues, not the software itself. The right IT setup prevents this from day one.
DEXIS
One of the most widely used platforms in the US. Integrates with Open Dental, Dentrix, Eaglesoft, and most major practice management systems. Performs best with dedicated hardware, a properly configured network, and a planned backup strategy for imaging data.
Ekim IT Solutions is a certified DEXIS-compatible IT partner supporting practices across New England, New York, and remotely across the US.
Hardware and network setup optimized for DEXIS performance.
Automated imaging data backup with tested recovery.
HIPAA compliance documentation covering your full imaging environment.
Carestream Dental
A comprehensive imaging suite supporting both 2D and 3D imaging. Strong integration options with major practice management systems. Storage requirements grow quickly and network configuration directly impacts chairside image load times.
Ekim IT Solutions supports Carestream Dental practices with managed IT built around imaging performance and compliance.
Network optimization so images load fast at chairside, every appointment.

Planmeca
Known for 3D cone beam CT and the Romexis software platform. Higher hardware requirements than 2D-only platforms. Proper IT setup at installation is critical to getting the performance the system is capable of delivering.
