Dozens of Practices Have Switched From OMS Vision for a Reason
OMS Vision has served the specialty for years, but many practices now find themselves held back by local servers, limited imaging flexibility, manual day-to-day workflows, and the constant risk of downtime.
DSN removes those roadblocks. You get a true cloud-based system with faster load times, built-in imaging for 2D and 3D, automated medical billing and cross-coding, real-time implant and inventory tracking, and referral analytics that help you grow.
Everything is accessible from any location, updated monthly with no disruption, and supported by a U.S.-based team that actually picks up the phone. If you’ve outgrown OMS Vision, DSN is the upgrade your practice has been waiting for.
| Feature | OMS Vision (Legacy Server) | DSN Cloud (Modern Cloud) | Why DSN Wins |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infrastructure | On-Premise Server (High IT Cost) | Serverless Cloud (AWS) | Eliminates expensive server upgrades, crashes, and maintenance fees. |
| Remote Access | VPN / Remote Desktop (Slow) | Browser-Based Access (Instant) | Securely access charts and imaging from home or satellite offices. |
| Data Security | Local Backup (Ransomware Risk) | Enterprise-Grade Encryption | Automated daily backups and AWS security protocols protect patient data. |
| Software Updates | Manual / Infrequent | Automatic Monthly Updates | You always have the latest features without scheduling downtime. |
| Patient Experience | Paper/Clipboard Intake | Digital Pre-Registration | Patients complete forms online, which auto-populate the chart before arrival. |
