Lee County is one of the fastest-growing dental markets in Southwest Florida. Cape Coral’s explosive population growth, Fort Myers’ established medical and dental professional corridor, and the expanding communities of Estero and Bonita Springs are all driving demand for dental services at a pace that is attracting both independent practice openings and DSO expansion. Aspen Dental, Heartland Dental, and Western Dental all operate multiple locations across Lee County.
Ekim IT Solutions is the dental-exclusive IT provider serving dental practices in Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Estero, Bonita Springs, and Lee County from our Tampa Bay office at 600 N Westshore Blvd, Suite 701, Tampa, FL 33609.
Hurricane Ian made direct landfall near Fort Myers in September 2022 as a Category 4 storm, causing catastrophic damage across Lee County and providing the most visceral recent example of what inadequate IT disaster preparedness costs a dental practice. Practices that lost patient records, could not access cloud systems due to infrastructure damage, or discovered their backup had never been tested recovered far more slowly than those with verified offsite backup and cellular failover connectivity.
Hurricane Ian caused an estimated 112 billion dollars in damage across Lee County, with Fort Myers Beach and Cape Coral among the hardest-hit communities. Dental practices in Ian’s impact zone that had patient data stored exclusively on a local server in a ground-floor space with no offsite backup faced permanent data loss in addition to physical facility damage.
Internet Infrastructure in Cape Coral and Fort Myers
Cape Coral and Fort Myers have access to Comcast Xfinity and CenturyLink fiber as the primary internet options in most commercial areas, with AT&T fiber available in some Fort Myers corridors. Estero and Bonita Springs have generally reliable cable and fiber options along the US-41 and I-75 commercial corridors. Ekim IT Solutions confirms available internet options at the specific practice address before designing any network infrastructure and configures cellular LTE failover for every Lee County practice as a standard component, given the market’s demonstrated hurricane exposure.
