EXISTING PRACTICE
Five signs your office tech is due for a refresh
Slow charts, a server nobody can find and backups nobody has tested. What to fix first in an existing practice.
DDSFloorStack · August 27, 2026 · 5 min readMost practices don’t need to replace everything at once. Start with what slows the schedule or puts data at risk.
The five signs
- Charts and X-rays take more than a few seconds to open
- Wi-Fi drops in some operatories
- Nobody has tested restoring a backup
- The server is older than five years, or nobody knows where it is
- Cameras still record to a DVR you can’t check from your phone
Each answer in the Studio questionnaire becomes a specific fix on your plan, ordered by impact.
