Case Study: Dental Practice in Dallas, Texas
Challenge: Severe Dentrix performance issues and failing hardware slowed daily operations and disrupted patient communication.
A dental practice in Dallas experienced widespread lagging and slow performance across all computers running Dentrix. Third-party patient communication software, RevenueWell, was also failing to sync patient forms correctly with Dentrix. In addition to the software issues, a wall-mounted operatory monitor was not functioning and remained stuck on a loading screen, preventing staff from viewing X-rays or presenting treatment plans.
Solution: Allierad IT Solutions provided targeted software repairs, vendor coordination, and onsite hardware diagnostics to restore reliable performance.
