Oral and maxillofacial surgery practices have IT requirements that differ from general dentistry in ways that directly affect clinical workflow quality. CBCT imaging for implant planning and surgical site assessment, surgical documentation including pre-operative, intraoperative, and post-operative imaging records, high-volume referral management from general dentistry practices throughout Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, and Manatee counties, and in many cases IV sedation documentation requirements that add a compliance layer beyond standard dental HIPAA obligations.
Ekim IT Solutions is the dental-exclusive IT provider serving oral surgery practices throughout Tampa Bay from our office at 600 N Westshore Blvd, Suite 701, Tampa, FL 33609.
Tampa Bay’s oral surgery market includes established independent practices in Tampa, Brandon, and Clearwater as well as OMS-focused DSO expansion from groups including OMS360 and similar specialty-focused organizations. Independent oral surgery practices competing in this market need IT infrastructure calibrated to specialty requirements, not adapted from a general dentistry template.
Oral surgery practices using CBCT for implant planning and surgical site assessment need workstations with dedicated NVIDIA GPUs for smooth 3D reconstruction. Running Carestream CS 9600 or Planmeca ProMax 3D planning software on a workstation with integrated graphics produces reconstruction lag that disrupts the surgical planning workflow.

CBCT Imaging Workstations
Oral surgery CBCT systems including Carestream CS 9600, Planmeca ProMax 3D, and Sirona Orthophos require workstations with discrete NVIDIA GPUs and NVMe storage for 3D reconstruction. Ekim IT Solutions specifies hardware against each manufacturer’s current requirements and verifies GPU and storage performance before any CBCT system goes live.
Surgical Documentation

Surgical Documentation Workflows
Pre-operative assessment imaging, intraoperative photos, and post-operative follow-up imaging must route correctly into the patient record in the oral surgery practice management system. Ekim IT Solutions configures surgical documentation storage with appropriate access controls and verifies that imaging from each phase of care routes to the correct chart location.
Referral Network Intake

Referral Network Secure Record Intake
Tampa Bay oral surgery practices receive referrals from dozens of general dentistry practices sending X-rays, CT data, and clinical notes through email and referral platforms. Ekim IT Solutions configures HIPAA-compliant encrypted receiving channels for referral intake and documents the referral data handling in the practice’s Security Risk Assessment.
Oral Surgery PMS and Imaging Integration
Oral surgery practices frequently run specialty practice management platforms including Carestream Practiceworks, Dentrix, or standalone oral surgery platforms alongside their CBCT imaging software. The imaging bridge between the OMS practice management system and the CBCT software must route correctly so that surgical planning images appear in the patient record without manual export and import steps. Ekim IT Solutions configures and tests this bridge for every Tampa Bay oral surgery practice we support, verifying that all imaging modalities, CBCT, panoramic, and intraoral, route to the correct patient chart location.
HIPAA for Oral Surgery Practices
Oral surgery practices coordinating care with Tampa General Hospital’s oral surgery department, AdventHealth Tampa, and a network of referring general dentistry practices manage PHI across a complex multi-entity referral environment. Ekim IT Solutions builds the HIPAA compliance infrastructure for Tampa Bay oral surgery practices that accounts for this coordination of care complexity, including secure referral intake, BAA documentation with referring practice IT systems, and incident response procedures calibrated for a specialty practice environment.
