Highway 99 excels at supporting professionals of all kinds with managed IT services – and that includes dental practices.
Dental and oral health practices present unique IT challenges. The demands for patient privacy and data protection are some of the most stringent in the world, as are the consequences of getting something wrong if something gets overlooked.
We are a full-service managed IT services provider specializing in the needs of dental and oral health practices just like yours. We are conveniently located in downtown Vancouver, and offer responsive and reliable IT solutions and support to small businesses throughout Metro Vancouver.
We can take on all of your practice’s IT responsibilities, both the routine work and larger procedures. Ultimately, we want to remove the stress, uncertainty and loss of earnings associated with IT downtime, and close off all the vulnerabilities of your systems without interfering with the way you actually use them. That isn’t a simple matter, but we have the knowledge and experience to guide us.
Our team’s regular working hours are weekdays 7am to 6pm, and we are available to handle emergencies 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Sound like just what you need?
Moved to the cloud? You need specialized IT support.
Cloud services are just as vulnerable to human error, data losses and attacks as on-site systems. In fact, you may be even more vulnerable if your cloud services are inconsistently updated or incorrectly configured relative to the needs of your industry.
Highway 99 can ensure that your cloud services are configured correctly, that access is restricted to the people you intend to use the system, that all important updates are conducted in a timely manner, and that all of your data is backed up regularly. This won’t make you immune to computer problems, but it will protect you against known threats.

Practices of all kinds are discovering that printed records are now much more trouble than their digital equivalents – and that digitized records are less prone to being lost, damaged or mis-filed. They even take less time for your professionals to produce and for your staff to process.
Regular, systematic backups are the first step in a good disaster recovery program. Sooner or later, something will happen to your data. It might become corrupted, it could become inaccessible, it could be physically damaged, or it could even be tampered with. A good backup system will make even that disaster something you can overcome.
Follow the 3-2-1 rule for data backup:
You must also audit or test your backups regularly. There is no worse feeling than going to your backups and discovering that you’ve been recording junk data for the last six months.
Data security is everyone’s job:
Replacing all of the aging workstations in your practice is a daunting prospect – and it might not actually be necessary. You can buy years of fast, reliable life for many old workstations by replacing their unreliable HDDs with new SSDs. You can boost performance substantially – especially when running the latest versions of your office software – by increasing workstation RAM to the 16GB* range.
