Dozens of Practices Have Switched From WinOMS for a Reason
If you’re still using WinOMS, you may be contending with on-premise servers that limit accessibility, manual tracking of implants and inventory, and basic referral logging that doesn’t give you true analytics.
The difference with DSN Cloud is striking: it’s hosted on AWS for browser-based access from anywhere, supports real-time implant and inventory tracking without manual reconciliation, offers cloud-native imaging (including multi-brand support and 3D viewing), and includes a robust referral-tracking analytics engine to help you grow your network.
Add in automated medical billing and cross-coding built in, a U.S.-based support team with noticeably faster response times, and monthly updates that keep you current without interrupting your practice — and the choice becomes clear.
| Feature | WinOMS (Legacy) | DSN Cloud (Modern Cloud) | Why DSN Wins |
|---|---|---|---|
| Imaging Compatibility | Optimized for Carestream | Vendor-Neutral (Open Architecture) | Use any CBCT or sensor brand you want; you aren’t locked into one vendor. |
| Inventory Management | Manual / Basic | Real-Time Implant Registry | Tracks implant lot numbers and expiration dates automatically for safety. |
| Clinical Charting | Click-Heavy / Rigid | AI-Powered Voice Charting | Dictate clinical notes and let AI format them, saving hours of admin time. |
| Multi-Location Support | Difficult (Requires expensive networking) | Native Multi-Site Architecture | Manage multiple office locations from a single dashboard seamlessly. |
| Support Model | General Support Queue | Dedicated OMS Experts | Support team understands surgical coding, not just “tech support.” |
