How dental offices in Nashville, Franklin, Murfreesboro, Brentwood, Smyrna, Hendersonville, and Spring Hill protect operatory workstations, Fortinet clinical and guest Wi-Fi, Microsoft 365 accounts, and retired X-ray and PC hardware.
Modern dental practices across Nashville, Franklin, Murfreesboro, Brentwood, and Hendersonville depend on fast chairside computers, digital imaging sensors, high-speed front-desk scanners, and uninterrupted cloud connectivity. Protecting a dental office requires securing the entire hardware, identity, and network foundation underneath your daily schedule without slowing down hygienists, assistants, or doctors.
Many dental offices struggle with noisy, aging closet servers, dropped wireless connections between operatories, and shared Windows logins. Viking Bros IT delivers 100% Cloud-Based IT (No On-Premises Servers, Active Directory, or Domain Controllers). While your dental practice uses its own cloud clinical applications, our team manages the underlying operatory and front-desk workstations, Microsoft 365 Business Premium tenant, endpoint security, printers, scanners, and Fortinet network infrastructure.
Operatory computers and check-in workstations handle sensitive patient schedules, insurance documents, and digital radiographs all day. We standardize dental practices on commercial-grade hardware (Dell OptiPlex and Latitude, HP EliteDesk and ProDesk, and Lenovo ThinkCentre tiny form-factor PCs paired with Ricoh and Brother duplex scanners) enrolled in Microsoft Intune and monitored by NinjaOne RMM:
A flat network where patient phones, smart TVs, operatory PCs, and digital imaging hardware share one consumer router creates both security exposure and wireless congestion. Viking Bros IT deploys business-grade Fortinet networking (FortiGate firewalls, FortiSwitch PoE+ managed switches, and FortiAP Wi-Fi 6 access points managed via FortiLink).
We isolate wired and wireless clinical workstations (VBIT-Users) on a dedicated staff LAN-VLAN while placing patient wireless traffic (VBIT-Guest) onto an isolated GUEST-VLAN103 with Layer 2 client isolation and zero access to internal computers or scanners. Furthermore, patient guest Wi-Fi runs on an automated schedule: enabled Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM CT and completely disabled on nights and weekends so the guest SSID is not even broadcast when the clinic is closed.
Dental imaging and equipment vendors occasionally require remote access for sensor calibration or peripheral troubleshooting. Rather than leaving permanent unmonitored remote tools open across operatory PCs, access should be authorized, logged, and disabled when maintenance concludes. Simultaneously, Microsoft Defender for Business email protections (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, anti-phishing policies, and Safe Links) shield front-desk staff from fraudulent invoice and insurance emails.
Upgrading operatories often leaves old computers, monitors, and retired wall-mounted or panoramic X-ray units sitting in storage closets. Viking Bros IT provides on-site IT equipment recycling, NIST SP 800-88 physical hard drive destruction, and dental X-ray decommissioning across Smyrna, Spring Hill, and Middle Tennessee. When removing retired X-ray units, we document tubehead and control-panel serial numbers to assist your practice in filing Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) Division of Radiological Health Form CN-2848 (X-Ray Machine Deletion and Account Closure).
Whether your practice wants Full-Service Managed IT (MSP) or À La Carte Services & Hardware, review our dental IT support, managed IT and equipment decommissioning services, medical practice IT, and cybersecurity solutions, or contact Viking Bros IT today.
We deploy Fortinet FortiGate firewalls, FortiSwitch managed switches, and FortiAP access points via FortiLink. Clinical workstations and imaging devices run on an isolated staff LAN-VLAN (VBIT-Users), while patient Wi-Fi (VBIT-Guest) is isolated on GUEST-VLAN103 with client isolation and an automated schedule that runs Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM CT and turns off nights and weekends.
No. Viking Bros IT operates 100% Cloud-Based IT with No On-Premises Servers and does not host, house, manage, or support dental clinical software. Practices use their cloud dental applications while we manage the underlying operatory workstations, Microsoft 365 Business Premium identity, Microsoft Defender for Business security, and Fortinet network.
We offer on-site IT equipment recycling, NIST SP 800-88 physical hard drive destruction, and physical removal and decommissioning of retired dental X-ray machines, including serial-number documentation to help practices complete Tennessee TDEC Form CN-2848.
