Running a successful dental practice means more than providing excellent patient care — it also requires keeping your equipment in top working condition. From chairs and sterilizers to digital imaging systems, your practice relies on expensive assets every single day. The challenge? Tracking maintenance, scheduling tasks, and keeping a reliable record of service history.
That’s why we’re excited to announce a new update to The DAM App – Dental Asset Management, designed to make dental equipment care more organized, efficient, and stress-free.
What’s New in This Update?
The latest version of The DAM App introduces three powerful features:
1. Maintenance Guide by Task Schedule or Equipment Type
Every piece of dental equipment has unique maintenance requirements — some need daily care, while others require monthly or annual service. With our new maintenance guide, you can:
View tasks by schedule (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly).
Filter by equipment type (chairs, compressors, sterilizers, imaging, IT systems, etc.).
Stay ahead of preventive maintenance and avoid costly downtime.
Instead of relying on scattered notes or outdated binders, everything is centralized and easy to follow.
2. Fillable Maintenance History for Each Equipment Item
Documenting service and repairs is critical for compliance, warranty coverage, and eventual equipment valuation. With this new feature, you can:
Record maintenance and repairs directly in the app.
Upload receipts, technician notes, and service records.
Build a complete history for each piece of equipment.
This not only helps with day-to-day management but also strengthens your practice appraisal when it’s time to sell, refinance, or transition ownership. Buyers and lenders love to see detailed service documentation.
3. Personalized Equipment Technician Contact List
Finding the right technician when something breaks can be a stressful scramble. Now, The DAM App allows you to:
Save your preferred equipment service providers by category.
Assign specific technicians to equipment types.
Access contact details instantly from your phone or desktop.
This means when a sterilizer goes down or your compressor needs service, you won’t waste time searching for business cards or old invoices.
Why This Matters for Dental Practices
Dental equipment is one of the largest investments a practice makes. Poor maintenance not only shortens the lifespan of your assets but can also disrupt patient care and decrease practice value.
By using The DAM App’s new features, practices can:
Protect equipment value by proving service history during appraisals.
Stay compliant with manufacturer and regulatory guidelines.
Save time and reduce stress with organized schedules and contacts.
Improve resale value of the practice by presenting a well-documented asset inventory.
The DAM App: More Than Just an Inventory Tool
The DAM App has always helped dentists create a complete, organized inventory of their practice assets. With this update, we’ve taken it a step further — turning it into a true dental equipment management system that covers the full lifecycle of your assets:
Cataloging equipment
Tracking maintenance
Documenting service history
Managing technician contacts
Supporting practice appraisals and transitions
This update means you’ll always be prepared — whether it’s for a routine repair, an unexpected breakdown, or a full practice sale.
So what?
Your dental equipment is too valuable to manage with sticky notes, spreadsheets, or guesswork. With the new maintenance guide, fillable service history, and technician contact list in The DAM App, you’ll have everything you need to keep your practice running smoothly and protect your long-term investment.
