THE LOCAL ADVANTAGE
Your dental practice should never have to explain dentistry to its IT company.
Legend Networking has served more than 100 clients in Tampa Bay and supports dental 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, Legend coordinates scheduled onsite service throughout Tampa Bay.
Florida dental practices face a unique combination of severe weather, power disruptions and cybersecurity threats. Review Legend’s “Florida dental hurricane and cybersecurity guide” for a practical readiness checklist.

Florida cybersecurity + HIPAA safeguards

Florida organizations affected by a qualifying breach may also face state notification and reporting duties in addition to HIPAA requirements.
TAMPA 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.
