Installing DDS GP: Hardware Requirements

Thumbnail

We intentionally chose the iPad as the platform for DDS GP after testing on multiple devices. It’s portable, clear, and user-friendly. For the best experience, especially when sharing visuals with older or visually impaired patients, we recommend using a larger iPad. Devices like the iPhone or iPad mini may be too small to comfortably share content during a treatment discussion. We generally recommend not using your personal devices so as to keep them private. Most offices will purchase iPads especially for the office, just like any other business machine. While the app also works on any Apple silicon Mac, the iPad still provides the most natural experience when sitting “shoulder to shoulder” with your patient.
