What we do

Everything your practice needs from IT

One specialist partner for your software, security, backups and compliance — so your team can focus on patients, not technology.

AI Services

Practical AI built for dental front desks — website chatbots that answer common patient questions and capture enquiries out of hours, and AI receptionists that handle calls, book and reschedule appointments, and reduce no-shows with automated reminders. We design, integrate, and manage these tools around your practice-management system, with patient data kept inside UK GDPR-compliant controls.

Backup & Disaster Recovery

Automated, encrypted daily backups of patient records, clinical images (including CBCT and OPG files), and practice-management databases — stored securely off-site. We run regular restore tests and maintain a documented business continuity plan tailored to your practice.

CCTV

Design, supply, and installation of IP CCTV for reception, corridors, and external areas — protecting staff, patients, and stock. Systems are configured with appropriate retention, signage, and access controls to support your UK GDPR and surveillance obligations, with secure remote viewing for owners.

Cloud & Connectivity

Resilient, high-availability internet connections with failover options, plus secure remote access for principals and managers working across sites. We plan and manage cloud migrations for multi-site groups, ensuring patient data never leaves compliant, UK-hosted infrastructure.

Communication (VoIP)

Modern cloud phone systems built for busy reception desks — call queues, voicemail-to-email, hunt groups, and call recording for quality and dispute resolution. VoIP cuts line-rental costs, scales across multiple sites, and keeps patients connected even if a single surgery loses power.

Compliance & Information Governance

Practical support for UK GDPR obligations, CQC IT evidence requirements, and NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT) completion. We help you maintain the records and controls needed to satisfy regulators and keep your ICO registration accurate.

Cyber Security & Cyber Essentials

End-to-end protection covering endpoint security, email filtering, multi-factor authentication, and staff awareness training. We guide practices through Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certification, helping you demonstrate due diligence to commissioners and insurers.

Dental Software Support

Expert support for the practice-management and clinical software your team relies on — including SOE EXACT, Carestream R4, Dentally, and Kodak/Carestream imaging. We handle installations, updates, integrations, and act as a direct liaison with software vendors on your behalf.

Infrastructure & Installation

Full design and installation of the hardware that runs your practice — surgery workstations, servers, structured Cat6 cabling, switches, and Wi-Fi. We specify reliable, business-grade kit sized for dental workloads and install it cleanly, with every surgery cabled and ready for clinical use.

IT Refresh & Upgrade

Ageing PCs and out-of-support servers slow your team and put patient data at risk. We audit your estate, plan a phased hardware and Windows refresh, and migrate your data and software with zero loss — replacing end-of-life equipment with minimal disruption to surgery hours.

Managed IT & Helpdesk

UK-based helpdesk available throughout surgery hours, with remote and on-site support for surgery PCs, servers, and practice networks. We handle faults quickly so chair time is never lost to technology.

Network Monitoring

Round-the-clock monitoring of your servers, network, and backups so problems are caught before they reach the chair. We track disk health, connectivity, security alerts, and backup success, and act on warnings proactively — turning surprise outages into routine, pre-empted fixes.

Remote Working (VPN)

Secure, encrypted VPN access so principals, managers, and bookkeepers can reach practice systems safely from home or between sites. Every connection is authenticated and logged, keeping patient data inside compliant, UK GDPR-aligned controls — never exposed on personal devices or open networks.

Servers & Firewalls

Specification, installation, and management of practice servers and business-grade firewalls. We harden your perimeter with managed firewall rules, intrusion protection, and content filtering, while keeping your server patched, backed up, and tuned to run EXACT, R4, and imaging databases reliably.

Squat Practice Complete Setup

Opening a brand-new (squat) practice? We design and install your entire IT foundation from an empty shell — structured cabling, surgery PCs, server, network, practice-management software, and clinical imaging — all configured, tested, and compliant before your first patient walks in.

Web & Software Development

Custom dental practice websites and bespoke software built for how practices actually work — fast, mobile-friendly sites with online booking, new-patient forms, and treatment information, plus custom tools and integrations that connect to your practice-management system. Every build is accessible, UK GDPR-compliant, and designed to convert enquiries into booked appointments.

Why Dental IT Services

Dental is all we do

We work exclusively with UK dental practices, which means every recommendation, every SLA, and every compliance control is shaped around the realities of running a modern surgery — not adapted from a generic IT playbook.

4-hr response SLA
UK-wide on-site cover
100% dental-focused

We understand dental software

Our team works day-to-day with EXACT, R4, Dentally, and other clinical systems — not just generic business applications. When your practice-management database throws an error at 8 am, we know exactly where to look.

Compliance built in, not bolted on

CQC inspectors, NHS DSPT assessments, and UK GDPR obligations shape how we design every solution. You won't need a separate compliance consultant to translate our work — we deliver IT that already meets the standards dental practices face.

Support that fits around your surgery

Downtime between appointments costs you appointment slots and patient goodwill. Our helpdesk is available throughout core surgery hours, and our target response times are built to minimise disruption to your clinical day — not to suit an office-hours IT team.

UK-wide with fast on-site cover

Remote fixes resolve most issues in minutes, but when a hands-on visit is needed we have field engineers covering practices across England, Scotland, and Wales. No outsourcing abroad, no call-centre runaround.

Predictable, fixed monthly costs

A single monthly fee per practice covers your managed services with no surprise invoices for routine support calls. Budgeting for IT becomes straightforward, and you always know exactly what is included.

Pricing

Simple, honest pricing

A flat monthly subscription for your day-to-day IT, plus clear per-project quotes for one-off work. No tiers to decode, no surprise fees.

Real prices, in the open

Unlike most managed IT providers, we publish our subscription prices right here on our website — no hiding them behind a “book a call for a quote” wall. We believe dental practices deserve honest, transparent pricing you can compare before you ever pick up the phone.

What dental teams say

We're a new name, built on old-fashioned service. Here's the kind of difference specialist dental IT makes.

We switched from a generic IT company that had never heard of EXACT. Dental IT Services had us set up and stable within two weeks, and the first time our SOE server flagged an error they had it resolved remotely before morning surgery started. The difference is night and day.

Sarah Whitfield

Practice Manager · Riverside Dental Practice, Leeds

Our CQC inspection was approaching and our previous provider couldn't tell us whether our backups were even encrypted. Within a month of moving to Dental IT Services we had documented evidence ready for the inspector and a clear IT policy in place. I felt genuinely supported for the first time.

Dr Priya Mehta

Principal Dentist · Elmwood Dental Centre, Bristol

Running three sites meant our old IT setup was a patchwork of different systems. Dental IT Services consolidated everything, sorted our NHS DSPT submission, and now I have one point of contact who actually understands what Dentally is. Response times are excellent — usually under an hour.

About us

IT support that understands your world

Dental practices are not like ordinary businesses. Your IT systems hold sensitive patient records, power clinical imaging equipment, and keep appointment schedules running — all in an environment regulated by the CQC, NHS commissioners, and the ICO. A generic IT firm that has never dealt with SOE EXACT or a Carestream R4 database can cause as many problems as it solves.

Dental IT Services was founded to fill that gap. We work exclusively with dental practices across the UK, which means our team genuinely understands your clinical software, your compliance obligations, and the real cost of a surgery going down mid-morning. We are not a helpdesk that will ask you to explain what a UDA is.

As a new venture, we are building our reputation one practice at a time — which means every client receives senior attention and honest advice. We will only recommend what your practice actually needs, and we price our services to make professional IT support accessible to independent practices as well as larger groups.
