Offline practice server backup
A copy of your practice software database that ransomware on the network can't reach or encrypt.
The Problem
One Locked Server Can Empty Every Chair for the Day
Dental offices rarely see an attack coming. It shows up at opening time as a ransom note, a schedule that won't load, or a backup drive that was encrypted along with everything else.
Untested backup
Backups run every night, but nobody has tried a restore.
Untested backup
A timed restore to a spare machine, with the result recorded.
Flat network
Imaging PCs share one network with guest Wi-Fi.
Flat network
Imaging and server traffic on their own segment, with guests kept out.
Remote tools
Three remote access tools sit on the server.
Remote tools
One approved tool per vendor, on named accounts with MFA.
No fallback
If the server stops, nobody knows tomorrow's patients.
No fallback
The next day's schedule exported every night, plus paper forms.
It's 7:40 on a Monday and the front desk can't open the schedule. A ransom note sits on the server screen. The backup drive was plugged in all weekend, so it was encrypted too. The imaging PC shares a network with guest Wi-Fi, and the attackers got in through a remote access tool your IT company installed years ago and forgot. Nobody knows who is booked today. Leave it like this, and one bad morning becomes a week of cancelled patients.
We start with recovery, because that decides how long you're closed. Your practice server gets an offline copy, then we restore it to a spare machine with a stopwatch running. Next we put imaging PCs and the server on their own network, add endpoint detection to every computer, and cut remote access to named accounts with MFA. Your front desk also gets a downtime kit, so patients get seen instead of sent home.
Restore tested with a stopwatch
Your practice server restored to a spare machine, with the hours it took written down.
Imaging PCs walled off
Sensor and imaging computers moved to their own network segment, away from guest Wi-Fi.
Remote access under control
Every IT vendor tool listed, unused ones removed, and the rest on named logins with MFA.
Our Dental Cybersecurity Services Process
From Server Closet Review to a Tested Restore in Five Steps
You see the gaps in your office first, watch the restore test results, and approve every change before it touches a computer patients or staff use.
We go over your offices, practice software, imaging setup, backups, and IT company. You leave with the biggest gaps we heard and a fixed quote. If your IT company's current plan already covers the basics, we'll tell you before we quote.
What's Included
What You Get With Cybersecurity for Dental Offices, Built Around Recovery
Everything a dental office needs to survive a bad morning: an offline backup, a tested restore, a separate imaging network, endpoint detection, controlled remote access, and a front desk downtime kit.
Compare Options
DeveloperLook vs Managed IT contract vs Backup appliance
A managed IT contract and a backup appliance each solve part of the problem, and both cost less up front. Here is what each one covers when ransomware reaches a dental office.
| Feature | DeveloperLookBest fit | Managed IT contract | Backup appliance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Planning | Free call, fixed price per office | Monthly contract, scope varies | Hardware quote only |
| Restore testing | Timed restore, hours recorded | Done if requested | Automatic verification |
| Offline copy | Kept apart from the network | Depends on the contract | Often on the same network |
| Imaging PCs | Moved to their own segment | Patched when possible | Not covered |
| Remote access | Named logins, MFA, tools trimmed | Uses its own tools | Not covered |
| Downtime plan | Front desk kit and paper forms | Rarely written | Not covered |
| Cost | Fixed price from $800 | Ongoing monthly fee | Device plus storage fees |
| Ownership | Logs and plans stay yours | Kept in their systems | Yours, tied to the vendor |

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built booking apps, portals, and websites for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Dental Practices Trust Us With Their Practice Server
We work around chairs and recall days, speak plainly to dentists, and treat recovery as the goal. Dental office cybersecurity work shouldn't cost you a single day of patients.
Changes after the last patient
Network and PC work starts after your last appointment or on a closed day. Morning huddles and hygiene columns stay exactly as planned.
Restores timed, not assumed
We measure how long your server really takes to come back. A backup only counts once a restore has worked.
Your IT company stays on
We fix gaps beside the IT company you already trust. They keep supporting your servers, and their access gets tighter.
Plain answers for dentists
We explain risks in terms of chairs, patients, and days closed. If a cheaper fix closes the gap, you hear about it first.
Fixed price per office
You get one price for your offices and computers before any work begins. Adding a location later means a separate written quote.
Plans you keep
The restore log, downtime kit, and fix list sit in a folder you own. Your insurer or a new IT company can read them.

Good fit
Solo and two-dentist offices
Your practice server sits in a closet, backups go to a USB drive nobody checks, and the IT company visits only when something breaks.
Group practices and small DSOs
You run several offices on Dentrix or Eaglesoft with shared servers, and one infected PC could lock every location's schedule at once.
Offices on cloud practice software
You moved to Curve Dental or Denticon and assumed security moved with it, but front desk PCs, email, and imaging still sit with you.
Practices after a close call
Your front desk clicked a fake invoice or a ransom note appeared on one PC, and you want dental data security sorted before the next attempt spreads.
Dental IT providers and consultants
You support offices on Open Dental and imaging systems and need cyber security services for dental practices delivered under your own brand.
Not a fit
HIPAA paperwork and training
You need HIPAA policies, business associate agreements, and team training with signed records. HIPAA Compliance for Dental Offices covers that work.
Already hit by ransomware
Your server is encrypted right now and the schedule is down. Ransomware Recovery handles active incidents, while this page covers the prevention work.
Monthly monitoring wanted
You want alerts watched and backups checked every month rather than a one-time project. Managed Security Services covers that ongoing work.
Budget under $800
Your budget is under $800 and you run one chair on cloud software. Your IT company's standard backup plan plus MFA on email is a sensible start.

Saimul IslamFounder & CEO, DeveloperLookStill have questions?
Send a message or book a call with the team.
Our work starts at $800 for one office. That covers an HHS 405(d) review, an offline server backup, a timed restore test, a remote access inventory, and a ranked fix list. Having the fixes made for up to 2 offices costs $1,950. Dental groups and small DSOs with up to 6 offices start at $3,900.
One office usually takes 2 to 3 weeks. The review and restore test fill the first week, then fixes happen over the following evenings and closed days. Groups of up to 6 offices take 5 to 8 weeks, because each office gets its own restore test and network changes.
Because a dental office can't treat patients without its schedule, charts, and x-rays. Ransomware that locks the practice server cancels the day, and stolen records bring breach notices and patient complaints. HHS's 405(d) program names ransomware as one of the five biggest threats to healthcare, and its small-practice volume fits a dental office.
No, they overlap but answer different questions. HIPAA compliance proves you protect patient privacy with policies, agreements, and training. Dental cybersecurity keeps the office running when attackers strike, through backups, restores, endpoint detection, and network controls. Our HIPAA Compliance for Dental Offices page covers the paperwork side.
Keep at least one copy offline or immutable, so ransomware on the network can't reach it. A USB drive that stays plugged in doesn't count. Back up the practice database and the imaging folders, keep a cloud copy, and restore to a spare machine every few months to prove it works.
We isolate them instead of forcing updates that break sensor drivers. The imaging PCs move to their own network segment, can reach only the server and the imaging software they need, and lose internet access where possible. Endpoint detection still runs on them, and their screens lock when the operatory is empty.
Disconnect affected computers from the network, but don't switch them off or pay anything yet. Call your IT company and cyber insurer, then switch the front desk to the downtime kit so patients still get seen. Our runbook on the group plan sets these steps out with names and phone numbers.
No, most offices keep their IT company. We work beside them on the fixes, then tighten how they connect: one approved remote tool, named accounts, and MFA. This dental cyber security work protects them too, because an IT provider's remote tools can reach every office they manage.
Pick one that tests restores, knows practice servers and imaging PCs, and works around patient hours. Ask for a fixed price, a written fix list, and proof of a restore test. Be wary of anyone selling only software, because cybersecurity for dental practices is mostly setup and habits.
Your office manager and IT company do, using the fix list, restore log, and downtime kit we leave. Group plans add a restore test calendar for every office. For 30 days after handover we answer their questions, and later checkups can be booked as fixed-price visits.
