Dental IT Pricing Calculator FAQs

No. This tool is designed to give you a realistic range instantly...so you can budget and compare options without a sales call.

You’ll answer 5 quick questions about your practice (number of devices, support coverage, cybersecurity level, and backup needs). The estimator then generates a typical monthly range based on your input.

The price is most affected by factors such as:

  • Device count (computers + servers)
  • Support coverage (remote-only vs remote + onsite)
  • Cybersecurity level (basic vs advanced protection)
  • Backup size (how much data you need protected)

No sensitive data is needed. The calculator only uses operational inputs like device counts.

Count computers and laptops (a.k.a. workstations) and servers/virtual machines that need support and security coverage. A simple rule: if your team uses it to run the practice—or it runs critical systems—it should be counted.

Dental IT support commonly ranges from $32–$68 per device/month, depending on service level and coverage (remote vs remote + onsite). More complex, multi-location environments typically land toward the higher end.

Dental IT Support typically includes helpdesk support, device monitoring, patch management, and day-to-day IT guidance for your team. Your final plan depends on whether you need remote-only support or remote + onsite coverage.

See what’s included in our Dental IT Support.

Helpdesk (remote-only support) is designed to keep your practice running smoothly day-to-day. It includes:

  • Remote IT support (Pact-One Help Desk)
  • Client Success Manager
  • Ongoing device management (PCs and Servers)
  • Dental software/hardware expertise
  • Managed firewall and access point(s)
  • Continuous monitoring: vulnerability scans, alert response, patch management
  • Endpoint Detection Response (EDR): anti-virus, anti-ransomware
  • Managed Detection Response (MDR): 24/7/365 threat detection and immediate action
  • Direct to cloud backup solution

TotalCare (remote + onsite support) is an all-inclusive managed IT services plan that includes:

  • Remote IT support (Pact-One Help Desk)
  • Client Success Manager
  • Ongoing device management (PCs and Servers)
  • Dental software/hardware expertise
  • Managed firewall and access point(s)
  • Continuous monitoring: vulnerability scans, alert response, patch management
  • Endpoint Detection Response (EDR): anti-virus, anti-ransomware
  • Managed Detection Response (MDR): 24/7/365 threat detection and immediate action
  • Onsite backup device & cloud backup
  • Immediate disaster recovery
  • Strategic planning & project development
  • Local onsite IT support

Choose onsite coverage if you want faster in-person help for things remote support can’t fully solve—hardware issues, new operatory setups, network changes, expansions, and multi-location coordination.

CCybersecurity typically ranges from $115-$353/month, depending on the support and protection level selected.

Basic Protection focuses on stronger, active threat detection and response:

  • Firewall: licensing, configuration, and ongoing management
  • Continuous Monitoring: vulnerability scans, alert response, patch management
  • Endpoint Detection Response (EDR): anti-virus, anti-ransomware
  • Managed Detection Response (MDR): 24/7/365 active threat detection and immediate action

Advanced adds additional layers designed to strengthen security culture and reduce email-driven risk:

  • Everything in Basic Protection, plus
  • Email security (spam/phish protection + awareness training)
  • Password manager

Direct to cloud backup ranges from $60-$100/month.

Local + cloud backup ranges from $249-$400/month, driven mainly by how much data you need protected and retained (plus the recovery needs of the practice).

The estimate is a strong starting point for budgeting, but it’s not a final quote. Fctors like network complexity, software stack, compliance requirements, and the current condition of your environment can shift the final number. If you want exact pricing, we’ll confirm it through a Practice IT Analysis.

After you get your estimate, you can:

  • Use it for budgeting and planning
  • Ask us to explain the breakdown line-by-line
  • Schedule an IT Analysis for a custom quote based on your actual environment
  • Business Associate Agreeement (BAA)
