Silicon Practice acquires Wysdom CloudPlus Technology, marking strategic expansion into the dental market
Silicon Practice, a leading provider of digital access and engagement solutions for healthcare, is delighted to announce the acquisition of Wysdom CloudPlus Technology, a trusted dental practice management system developed by Wysdom Dental Technologies.
The move marks Silicon Practice’s formal entry into the dental sector – an important step in its strategy to expand beyond general practice and bring intuitive, secure and NHS-aligned digital solutions to a broader range of healthcare providers.
“Wysdom’s CloudPlus platform is an outstanding product that has already earned the trust of dental professionals,” said Stephen Whyte, MD of Silicon Practice. “This acquisition gives us a strong, proven foundation in the dental sector and allows us to bring our digital access expertise to a new audience of clinicians and patients.”
What is Wysdom CloudPlus?
Wysdom CloudPlus is a next generation dental practice management system that combines the flexibility of cloud based software with the reliability of local infrastructure, offering a hybrid approach that ensures uninterrupted service.
Originally developed to replace Wysdom’s ICONic system, CloudPlus delivers a modern, browser based interface that works seamlessly across desktops, tablets and mobile devices. Its key features include:
- Hybrid cloud / local operation: CloudPlus uses a local server – known as the “CloudPlus box”, that syncs with Wysdom’s secure cloud platform. This design allows practices to continue operating smoothly even during broadband outages
- Built in redundancy: with dual processors, power supplies and multiple mirrored hard drives, the system is built for resilience and reliability
- No downtime: whether due to internet issues or hardware faults, CloudPlus is designed to keep dental teams working without interruption
- Browser based access: staff can securely access the system from any authorised device, on or off site
- Robust data security: data is encrypted and backed up both locally and in the cloud, offering protection against ransomware and cyber threats
- Direct hardware integration: CloudPlus integrates directly with dental equipment, such as X-ray systems, and payment platforms to streamline day to day workflows
- User friendly design: an icon driven charting interface makes it easier and faster to use than traditional menu based systems
- Scalable for practice growth: with flexible cloud storage options and support for multi-site practices, CloudPlus grows as practices do
- Dedicated support: backed by a team that understands the operational pressures of dental practices, users benefit from responsive, specialist customer service
In short, CloudPlus offers a resilient, user friendly solution that helps dental practices deliver better patient care with less admin burden.

With this acquisition, Silicon Practice:
- Enters the dental market with a tried and tested platform
- Adds a powerful, hybrid cloud solution to its digital health portfolio

“This is the beginning of a new era for dental technology,” added Whyte. “Together, we’re bringing simplicity, reliability and smarter digital access to both dental professionals and their patients.”
