Record Management and Shredding Services for Dental Offices
Comprehensive Record Management for Dental Offices
Dental offices handle extensive daily documentation, including patient records, treatment plans, and operational paperwork. These documents require careful organization and security to ensure smooth operations and compliance. Our record management solutions help dental practices stay efficient and protect critical information, where precision and confidentiality are key.
Secure Shredding Services for Dental Offices
Properly disposing of sensitive documents is essential for dental offices to protect patient privacy and comply with HIPAA. Our shredding services offer a secure, reliable way to ensure confidential information is safely destroyed.
Scheduled Shredding Services
Dental offices handle an ongoing flow of paperwork containing sensitive patient and practice data. Our scheduled shredding services offer a straightforward way to responsibly and securely dispose of these documents. We supply secure, locked collection bins for your facility, ensuring ease of use and compliance with privacy laws. At regular intervals, we collect and securely shred the contents, giving you peace of mind.
One-Time Purge Shredding
Over time, dental practices accumulate outdated paperwork, whether purged patient records, expired billing cycles, or past legal paperwork. Our one-time shredding service is designed to securely handle large volumes of such documents. This service is ideal for periodic cleanouts, saving space and reducing worry about improper disposal.
Off-Site Shredding Services
Some dental practices prefer an off-site shredding solution to avoid in-office disruptions. Documents containing personal health information and business data are collected and securely transported to our shredding facility. Every step meets privacy standards, adhering to HIPAA regulations to ensure your practice remains in full compliance with industry requirements.
Hard Drive & Digital Media Destruction
Patient x-rays, financial records, and legal correspondence often exist digitally. While deleting files from hard drives might seem adequate, it rarely ensures complete removal. Our hard drive destruction service ensures sensitive information is rendered irretrievable, protecting both your practice and your patients’ data.

Proper shredding practices allow dental practices to protect sensitive data and stay compliant. Examples of materials that should be regularly shredded include:
Outdated Patient Records
Insurance Claims and Forms
Expired Consent and Treatment Forms
Payment and Billing Information
Old X-Rays and Electronic Media
Operational Documents (Payroll, Vendor Agreements)
