Texas-rooted IT built
exclusively for dentists.
DDS Computers has been the dental-IT specialist for Texas practices since 2012. We don't serve every vertical. We serve dental practices, and we serve them well.
Grand Prairie–headquartered. Serving the DFW metroplex; expanding to Lubbock, Austin, San Antonio.
Started in Grand
Prairie. Grew because
dentists needed
specialists, not
generalists.
JR Kitchens founded DDS Computers in March 2012 after 15+ years at Patterson Dental, first in sales, then in branch management. The difference between dental practices and other small businesses was impossible to ignore: dental offices have a specific combination of clinical software, imaging hardware, compliance requirements, and operational rhythms that no general IT shop was built to handle well.
The fix was simple in concept and harder in execution: build an IT company around dental practices specifically, hire for dental-IT knowledge, and say no to clients who don’t fit. DDS Computers has grown steadily across the DFW metroplex since, not because we chased every opportunity, but because the practices we serve refer us to their colleagues.
Five techs, on call.
DDS is small on purpose. You’ll know who’s coming out, and they’ll know your practice.

We deliberately turned
away the general-
business market. Here’s
why.
Every MSP says they specialise. Most serve whoever calls. DDS Computers made the decision to focus on dental practices specifically, and to hold that line when the temptation to widen the scope comes up.
Dental software has a learning curve that takes years, not weekends.
Eaglesoft, Open Dental, Curve, Carestream, Dexis, Cerec, Archy, Fuse: each has its own database architecture, backup format, imaging integration quirks, and support-vendor relationship. A generalist MSP can Google most of it. We already know it. When your practice-management server goes down at 7:30am, that difference is the difference between a 20-minute fix and a three-hour wait.
HIPAA isn't a checkbox. It's a continuous, dental-specific discipline.
General IT shops know HIPAA in the abstract. Dental practices have a specific set of concerns: patient record retention, imaging archive security, Business Associate Agreements with software vendors, PHI backup encryption, and audit-trail requirements on clinical systems. We've built our service delivery around these specifics.
Dental practices have narrow maintenance windows. We're built around them.
A dental office runs patients from early morning through late afternoon with almost no margin for downtime. Updates, maintenance, and any disruptive work have to happen in tight pre-open or post-close windows. We schedule around your patient calendar, not against it.
Specialisation means we attract people who genuinely know dental IT.
Because DDS is dental-only, we attract technicians who are interested in dental IT specifically, not generalists who'll move on once a broader opportunity appears. Our team has stayed stable for years. Your practice doesn't re-educate a new tech every 18 months.
