Dental imaging was never designed for today’s reality of AI, multi-location practices, cloud workflows, virtual teams, and data-driven decision-making—and it’s starting to show. In this episode of The Dental CEO Podcast, Scott Leune sits down with Dustin Johnson, Co-Founder and CTO of SOTA Cloud, to explain why server-based, siloed imaging systems are quietly costing practices time, money, and growth, while limiting access to the very data modern dentistry depends on. They unpack how cloud-based imaging transforms referrals, case acceptance, data security, staff accountability, and scalability, why startups must get this right from day one, and why established practices that delay this shift are already falling behind in both business performance and patient care.
