Denticon is a cloud-based dental practice management platform developed by Planet DDS, designed primarily for DSOs and multi-location dental groups. It runs entirely through a web browser with no local server requirement, making it one of the most infrastructure-light enterprise dental platforms available.
Here are the 2026 system requirements for Denticon based on Planet DDS’s official specifications, with practical guidance from a dental IT perspective.
The Two Factors That Directly Drive Denticon Performance
Denticon’s browser-based model means your internet connection and workstation RAM are the two factors that most directly affect daily performance.
Practices that experience Denticon slowdowns almost always have one of two problems: an internet connection that does not meet the minimum speed per active workstation, or workstations running Chrome on 8GB RAM with multiple tabs open. Both are IT configuration problems, not software problems.

1 to 2 workstations
3 to 4 workstations
5 to 6 workstations
7 or more workstations
Imaging Integration
How imaging works with Denticon
Denticon integrates with major imaging platforms through standard TWAIN bridges. Imaging software runs locally on operatory workstations while Denticon handles clinical documentation and scheduling in the browser. This hybrid model means the imaging workstation must meet both Denticon’s browser requirements and the specific imaging software’s hardware requirements — whichever is higher.
Confirm imaging compatibility with Planet DDS before finalizing hardware purchases. TWAIN bridge compatibility varies by imaging software and version. Your IT provider should confirm that your specific imaging software and hardware are supported by Denticon before any hardware is purchased or installed.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Denticon is fully cloud-based. Planet DDS hosts all patient data and practice management functions in their cloud environment. No local server is required for Denticon itself. If your imaging software requires a local server, that hardware may still be needed for imaging functions.
Denticon is built and priced for multi-location groups and DSOs. Single-location practices evaluating Denticon should compare the cost and feature set against cloud platforms designed for single practices such as Curve Dental or Oryx. For DSOs, Denticon is one of the most established enterprise cloud platforms available.
Both are cloud-based dental practice management platforms designed for multi-location use. Denticon is built by Planet DDS and operates independently of any hardware or supply vendor. Dentrix Ascend is built by Henry Schein One and integrates with the Henry Schein ecosystem. The choice between them typically comes down to existing vendor relationships, pricing, and feature-specific preferences.
Run a wired speed test from an operatory workstation during peak business hours. Divide the total download speed by the number of active workstations to confirm each one meets the 10 Mbps minimum. If your connection does not meet the requirement, contact your ISP about a speed upgrade before your Denticon go-live date.
Running Denticon across your DSO locations and not sure if every site meets Planet DDS’s 2026 system requirements?
Ekim IT Solutions works exclusively with dental practices. We serve New England and New York with on-site support and dental practices nationwide with remote support. We assess your workstations, network configuration, and browser environments across all locations against Denticon’s 2026 requirements and tell you exactly what needs attention before it affects your production.
Denticon is built for scale but it still depends on the right workstations and network at every location. Find out if yours qualifies.
