Section 179 of the IRS tax code, designed to encourage small businesses, such as dentists and dental specialists, to invest in their practices, allows them to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment and/or software that has been purchased or financed during the tax year from their total gross income. This means that they can write off the full purchase amount this year and are no longer required to depreciate the equipment over time as they have in previous tax years. Great news – the Section 179 deduction has been further expanded again for 2022 so there has never been a better time to upgrade your digital dental imaging technology. Act now before it’s too late. To see how much you could save, visit our [Section 179 estimations page](https://www2.renewdigital.com/section179). ![](https://store-dd073.mybigcommerce.com/product_images/uploaded_images/tax-savings.jpg) ## Section 179 Details for 2022 To qualify for the deduction, all you need to do is purchase or finance the equipment and/or software and put it to use (i.e. have it installed) in this tax year. In 2022, the cap limit for write-offs is $1,080,000, so you can easily deduct the full amount of any dental imaging equipment or software your practice may need. In addition, not only can you apply the Section 179 tax credit, but you can also begin adding additional procedures and production to your schedule for an even more savings and an accelerated return on investment.  ![](https://store-dd073.mybigcommerce.com/product_images/uploaded_images/kavo-op-3d-ceph.jpg) ## Save Even More with Used Dental Equipment from Renew Digital Many dental practitioners are surprised to learn that the Section 179 tax deduction can be applied to both new and used dental equipment. If you have been considering upgrading to a newer digital panoramic X-ray, a dental CBCT system, or an intraoral scanner but have been concerned about the cost, consider purchasing a certified pre-owned extraoral dental imaging machine from Renew Digital. For more than a decade, Renew Digital has delivered high-quality, premium brand panoramic, cephalometric, cone beam systems (and now intraoral scanners!) to dentists and dental specialists across the United States at up to 50% off the new list prices of nearly identical units. Renew Digital offers a wide range of used dental panoramic, pan-ceph and dental CBCT machines from leading manufacturers including [Carestream Dental](https://www.renewdigital.com/brands/carestream-dental/), [Gendex](https://www.renewdigital.com/brands/gendex), [i-CAT](https://www.renewdigital.com/brands/i-CAT), [Instrumentarium](https://www.renewdigital.com/brands/instrumentarium), [KaVo](https://www.renewdigital.com/brands/kavo/), [Planmeca](https://www.renewdigital.com/brands/planmeca), [Sirona](https://www.renewdigital.com/brands/sirona), and [Vatech](https://www.renewdigital.com/brands/vatech) at a significant savings over new extraoral imaging systems. In addition it offers a full line of premium certified pre-owned [intraoral scanners](https://www.renewdigital.com/intraoral-scanners/). Plus, all cone beam systems and intraoral scanners from Renew Digital come complete with the latest 3D imaging and scanner software so you’re sure to take advantage of all of the latest features and functions – all for much, much less. ![](https://store-dd073.mybigcommerce.com/product_images/uploaded_images/istock-577626104.jpg) ## Value Backed by 5-Star Service & Support Renew Digital is committed to providing dentists and dental specialists with an incredible value without sacrificing the quality of the equipment or service it provides.
