Dolphin Imaging IT Environment
Support for practices using Dolphin Imaging.
Support for the systems around Dolphin Imaging.
We help practices support the workstation, network, backup, storage, and access environment around Dolphin Imaging while coordinating with vendor support for application-specific issues.
Important vendor-support note
Dental IT is not Dolphin Imaging vendor support and does not replace official Dolphin Imaging support. We support the IT environment around Dolphin Imaging and coordinate with vendor support when needed.
Imaging Workstation Support
Support for the IT environment around imaging workstations, connected devices, network access, and clinical workflow reliability.
Device & Connectivity Planning
Help with the technology layer that supports sensors, scanners, imaging devices, workstations, and network connectivity.
Storage & Backup Awareness
Guidance around storage, backup planning, access, and recovery readiness for systems involved in imaging workflows.
Vendor Coordination
Coordination with imaging vendors when device drivers, calibration, licensing, software errors, or vendor-controlled features need direct vendor support.
Dolphin Imaging Support Focus
What Dental IT can help with around Dolphin Imaging.
We focus on the IT environment that helps Dolphin Imaging run reliably in a dental practice: devices, access, network stability, backups, security-conscious workflows, and vendor coordination.
Dolphin Imaging workstation environment support
Support for this area is handled through the surrounding technology environment, with vendor coordination when the issue requires product-specific help.
Network and imaging access readiness
Support for this area is handled through the surrounding technology environment, with vendor coordination when the issue requires product-specific help.
Storage and backup planning around imaging workflows
Support for this area is handled through the surrounding technology environment, with vendor coordination when the issue requires product-specific help.
Vendor coordination for Dolphin Imaging-specific issues
Support for this area is handled through the surrounding technology environment, with vendor coordination when the issue requires product-specific help.
Dental Software Workflows
Software reliability often depends on the surrounding IT foundation.
Your software vendor and IT partner both matter.
When a dental software issue appears, the root cause may come from the application, the database, the workstation, the network, a printer, a scanner, a sensor, user permissions, cloud access, or backup-related configuration. Dental IT helps your practice separate IT-environment issues from vendor-controlled software issues.
That means your team has a clearer path for troubleshooting: Dental IT supports the technology layer, and when needed, we help coordinate with the official Dolphin Imaging vendor support team.
We Do Not Replace Vendor Support
Dental IT focuses on the IT environment around your software. For software bugs, licensing, database-level repairs, or vendor-controlled features, we help coordinate with the appropriate vendor.
Built Around Dental Operations
We understand that dental software touches scheduling, imaging, clinical rooms, front desk communication, billing workflows, and patient care.
Support for Connected Systems
Dental software often depends on stable networks, properly configured computers, secure access, reliable backups, printers, scanners, and imaging devices.
Security-Conscious Planning
We help practices strengthen the technology safeguards around systems that may touch sensitive patient information.
Dolphin Imaging support questions we hear often.
Clear answers about what Dental IT can support, when vendor help is needed, and how we help keep your dental software environment more reliable.
01 Is Dental IT the same as Patterson's Dolphin Imaging support?
Is Dental IT the same as Patterson's Dolphin Imaging support?
No. Dental IT is a managed IT services company, not Dolphin Imaging vendor support. Dolphin Imaging and Dolphin Management are supported directly by Patterson Dental. We support the IT environment around Dolphin - server, workstations, network, backups, integration with imaging devices, secure data handling - and coordinate with Dolphin vendor support when application-layer issues come up.
02 What does third-party Dolphin Imaging IT support cover?
What does third-party Dolphin Imaging IT support cover?
Dolphin server reliability and performance, workstation performance for Dolphin imaging and case presentation, network reliability for image transfer and remote access, SQL Server backup and recovery for the Dolphin database, integration with imaging devices (intraoral scanners, cephalometric imaging, photos), and HIPAA-aligned patient image handling.
03 Do you handle Dolphin database, SQL Server, or installation issues?
Do you handle Dolphin database, SQL Server, or installation issues?
Dolphin Imaging ships on SQL Server. We support the SQL Server environment (Windows host, version compatibility, backups, performance) and the network it sits on, while application-layer database issues, Dolphin schema changes, and Dolphin updates go to vendor support. We coordinate the two so the practice has one IT-side owner.
04 Do you support Dolphin in orthodontic practices specifically?
Do you support Dolphin in orthodontic practices specifically?
Yes. Dolphin Imaging is most common in orthodontic practices and OMFS practices, where case presentation, cephalometric imaging, and photo management are central workflows. The IT environment Dolphin depends on - high-resolution imaging workstations, fast image network, large backup target - is the same regardless of practice specialty.
05 What dental and ortho practices typically need third-party Dolphin support?
What dental and ortho practices typically need third-party Dolphin support?
Practices where the Dolphin server is slow, image transfer between workstations stalls, backups don't include the SQL Server database, or imaging devices don't reliably push to Dolphin. We handle those IT-environment problems alongside Patterson's Dolphin vendor support.
