Operatory Technologies

When it comes to goals, one should always start with the end objective in mind. Therefore, the placement of the computers and the monitors, as well as establishing the method of networking, should be the first points of focus for creating the dental digital treatment area. Concate specializes in the design and installation of computing systems specific to the dental office, and Concate can be a great asset in helping to reach the goal of creating "state-of-the-art" digital treatment rooms.

Concate specializes in the aesthetic blending of existing cameras, x-ray units, Cavetrons, chairs, hand pieces, and other technologies in the treatment rooms with the latest digital, perio, charting and education systems employed in today's high-tech offices.

Infrastructure and Cabling

Options now exist that allow computer networks to be connected via wired Ethernet cables or by wireless options (often referred to as "Wi-Fi"). As with networks, some dental devices and software now are being built and designed to connect via Ethernet or Wi-Fi. Although the potential savings of not running cables may be appealing, wired networks tend to perform better and do not have as many security issues as wireless systems.
