RENEW DIGITAL LEARNING HUB

Has your dentist recently recommended a CBCT or cone beam scan? If so, you're probably wondering what this is, what it does and... how much will it cost?

In contrast to conventional methods, which provide only indirect digitalization of the full dental arch, modern intraoral scanners provide direct digitalization of the full arch through a direct scan of the patient’s mouth cavity. This can often be performed in a single scan, and modern dental scanners can often capture the scan in under a minute, and some in under half a minute.

Hello Renew Digital! Have you seen our most recent announcement?

Inflation is a problem that hurts not just small businesses - like your dental practice - directly, it also hamstrings consumers. And, in a tight market, many might see most dental services as elective rather than necessary, further cutting into your practice’s bottom line. Add into this the fact that consumers have a lot to think about related to their dental insurance coverages.

Will 2025 be your year to grow your network?

Whether you’re acquiring your first practice or expanding your footprint with a satellite location, the process involves much more than signing paperwork.

Here at Renew Digital, we’ve worked with hundreds of dentists who have gone through the same process, and are clear and happy on the other side!

Starting a dental practice in 2025 presents a mix of challenges and opportunities. While economic uncertainties persist, strategic planning and adaptability can position new dental startups for success.

Dental start-ups represent a significant amount of Renew Digital customers. We've worked with hundreds over our 14 years in business, outfitting their imaging technology with certified pre-owned equipment - helping save 30-50% off list prices.

To help you get started from the very beginning of the process, I wrote an article "The 5 B's of a Dental Start-Up" outlining all you need to put together for success. 

This time, we're talking about today's economic landscape as well as key considerations for pulling the trigger this year or early 2026.

Dental cone beam is the cutting-edge standard in dental imaging technology. CBCT offers the most advanced imaging protocols, delivering extremely detailed 3-dimensional images of both hard and soft tissues surrounding the area of interest.

How do you know when is the RIGHT time to buy dental equipment?

Maybe you're ready to maximize the value of 3D imaging in your practice. . . BUT you want to find the right equipment that fits the needs and skills of you and your staff, while also getting a favorable price. We can't think of any doctor who would want a good buying opportunity to slip by and pay more for the same equipment.

While you’re shopping, it’s also important that you’re getting all of the details regarding regarding size, field of view (FOV), features, and warranty in order to make an apples-to-apples comparison of the different brands and models available. 

Arriving at a totally transparent cost can be difficult because of the number of factors involved in determining the overall cost of a CBCT machine.

While prices have become a lot more affordable since the early days of CBCT, today we’ll outline what you can expect to pay for a dental CBCT system today and forecasted into 2024.

Looking into making the switch to 3D imaging? Welcome aboard, you and your patients are about to benefit from advanced diagnostics and treatment planning in the third dimension!
