THE LOCAL ADVANTAGE
Your dental practice should never have to explain dentistry to its IT company.
Legend Networking supports more than 50 dental practices across the Fort Myers area and serves practices throughout Florida. Since 2004, we have worked inside dental environments and understand the connections between the front desk, operatories, imaging, practice-management software, networks, security and backups.
Most issues are resolved remotely for speed. When the work requires hands on equipment, our Florida field team coordinates scheduled onsite service throughout Southwest Florida.
Southwest Florida practices need a recovery plan that accounts for hurricanes, extended utility outages and inaccessible offices. Use our “Florida dental disaster-recovery guide” to evaluate your current readiness.

Florida cybersecurity + HIPAA safeguards

Florida organizations affected by a qualifying breach may also face state notification and reporting duties in addition to HIPAA requirements.
FORT MYERS DENTAL SOFTWARE + IMAGING SUPPORT
The systems your practice already depends on—connected and supported.
Dental software does not run in isolation. It depends on properly configured servers, databases, workstations, imaging bridges, networks, permissions, storage and backups.
Legend supports that technology foundation and coordinates with software and equipment vendors when an issue crosses between the network, application and clinical device.
