Dental IT has a specific set of problems that generic IT providers consistently get wrong. Your practice management software needs to talk to your imaging sensors, your digital X-rays need reliable storage and fast retrieval, and every workstation in every operatory has to work the first time - because you have a patient in the chair. When Dentrix freezes during a procedure or your Schick sensor stops communicating, the entire appointment backs up.
Most IT companies treat dental offices like small businesses with some medical software. They don't understand the relationship between your practice management system and your imaging hardware. They don't know that Eaglesoft has different server requirements than Open Dental. They schedule updates during your busiest hours and have never configured a DEXIS sensor.
Rain City Techworks serves dental practices across Pierce County - Tacoma, Puyallup, Federal Way, Lakewood, and surrounding areas. We understand the technology stack that modern dental offices depend on: Dentrix, Dentrix Ascend, Eaglesoft, Open Dental, Curve Dental, DEXIS imaging, Carestream, and the patient communication platforms like Weave and Solutionreach that keep your schedule full.
As a dental practice, you're a covered entity under HIPAA. That means the same data protection requirements that apply to hospitals apply to your two-operatory office. We help you meet those requirements without turning your practice into an IT headache. Encryption, access controls, audit logs, and backups - implemented correctly and maintained consistently.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you support Dentrix and other dental practice management software?
Yes. We support the infrastructure that Dentrix, Dentrix Ascend, Eaglesoft, Open Dental, Curve Dental, and CareStack run on. This includes server configuration, database optimization, workstation setup, and network performance tuning. We are not a Dentrix reseller - we handle the IT side so your practice management software performs reliably.
How do you handle HIPAA compliance for dental offices?
Dental practices are covered entities under HIPAA, just like medical offices. We implement the technical safeguards the Security Rule requires: encryption for patient data at rest and in transit, access controls with unique user IDs, audit logging, automatic session timeouts, and secure backup procedures. We also help with risk assessments and can provide documentation for your compliance records.
Can you set up and support digital imaging and X-ray systems?
We handle the network infrastructure, storage, and workstation configuration that digital imaging systems require. Whether you are using DEXIS, Carestream, or Schick sensors, these systems need proper bandwidth, reliable storage, and fast workstations to function correctly. We ensure your imaging data is backed up, accessible from operatories, and integrated with your practice management software.
