DentalCanvas processes supported Open Dental patient data locally rather than uploading it to a DentalCanvas-hosted patient database.
Security should be visible in the architecture, not buried in adjectives.
Patient data stays local
Supported patient data is read from your practice environment for DentalCanvas workflows.
Open Dental access is read-only
The standard analytics workflow is designed to read supported data rather than rewrite patient records.
HIPAA Mode masks identifiers
Use screen-masking controls when displaying operational views where patient identifiers should be hidden.
Sessions can lock after inactivity
Workstation controls help reduce exposure when a screen is left unattended.
Local patient data does not mean the computer never reaches the internet.
DentalCanvas may use external traffic for license activation, software updates, and optional integrations. Those services are separate from the local patient-data workflow. A Business Associate Agreement is available where applicable.
