Sodium Dental trainer working with dental practice staff

Most practices have to stitch together a different vendor for every piece of the puzzle — one company for the network, another for the practice-management software, someone else for ongoing staff training. Sodium Dental is built to be the single source. As a dental technology integrator, we sell, install, and support your computer networks, imaging hardware, and practice-management and imaging software — and then we make sure your team actually knows how to use all of it to increase production and deliver better patient care.

Once the technology is in place, our focus shifts to your people: educating every role in the practice to use the new tools efficiently, so the investment pays off in real production and stronger diagnostics.

Who we train

Dentists & associates

Diagnostic imaging, case presentation, and turning images into treatment acceptance.

Hygienists

Fast, clean full-mouth series and effective intraoral photography.

Assistants

Sensor placement, scanner workflows, and confident day-to-day operation.

Front office

Practice-management software, patient flow, and image management.

A full day of on-site training, included

Included with every install

Every practice we outfit receives at least a full day of on-site training. It’s not a quick walkthrough — it’s a working day that gives your team a repeatable set of daily procedures built to raise production from the start.

✓ Correct placement of digital sensors for clean, retake-free images
✓ How to hold and aim an intraoral camera properly
✓ Taking a fast, complete full-mouth IO exam on a live patient
Turning the exam into treatment — narrating problem areas as you capture them, so patients ask you about treatment instead of you having to “sell dentistry”
✓ Using your practice-management and imaging software to keep a consistent patient flow
✓ Open Q&A to settle your team’s questions and take the stress out of new technology

Training & service options

Standalone training you can book on its own — whether or not we did the original install.

Shining 3D Intraoral Scanner Training & Onboarding

★ Most requested

Going digital with impressions? We onboard your team on the Shining 3D Aoralscan family — Elite, Elf, and Aoralscan 3 — end to end: scan strategy for full-arch and quadrant cases, software setup and integration with your lab and design workflow, tip handling and infection control, and the daily habits that make scanning faster than a tray of PVS. Available as focused on-site training or a lunch-and-learn for the whole team.

Digital X-Ray Sensor & Software Training

Get the most out of your digital sensors and imaging software — correct positioning, image quality, and an efficient full-mouth series your whole team can repeat.

Intra-Oral Camera Training & Installation

On-site setup and hands-on training so every operatory can capture clear intraoral photos and put them to work in case presentation.

View training option →

Practice Management & Imaging Software Training

Hands-on training on the software your practice runs — Dentrix, DEXIS, and the imaging and practice-management platforms we support — so charting, scheduling, and image management stay fast and consistent.

HIPAA Security Risk Assessment

A HIPAA Security Risk Assessment is required of every practice — and most are overdue. We review how patient data is stored and moved across your network, workstations, and imaging systems, document the gaps, and hand you a clear action list to close them.

Remote & Virtual Training

Our trainers connect remotely into your system and live-demonstrate the workflows over video — sensors, cameras, scanners, and imaging software — walking your team through each process on your own setup. It’s a fast, low-cost way to onboard a new hire or tighten a workflow between on-site visits.

Why practices train with Sodium

Dentists don’t currently have one reliable source to install, train, and integrate technology without disrupting daily operations. Plenty of companies handle one slice — the network, the software, the training — but almost none deliver the whole solution. That’s the gap we built Sodium Dental to fill:

One source for hardware, software, network, and training — supporting dental practices since 2010.
Real technicians who install and service this equipment every day — not a call-center script.
Built around production and patient care, not just button-pushing.
Support that doesn’t end when the install does.
