For decades, the Planmeca brand has been internationally recognized by dentists and dental specialists for its high-quality dental imaging equipment. If you’re considering Planmeca for your next, or even first, CBCT system, you can feel confident you’re making a solid investment in a reputable brand.
As a dental professional, you need the ability to accurately diagnose patient conditions and plan their treatment, and a dental X-ray machine makes that possible. However, with the wide variety of options on the market, it can be hard to know exactly what you need. While shopping, you may want to keep the following features and considerations in mind.
For decades, the Planmeca brand has been well-respected for their delivery of high-quality dental X-ray machines and other products to dentists and dental specialists throughout the world. You’ve made a great decision on choosing a Planmeca CBCT for your dental practice. Your second great decision was saving 30-50% off the price of a new unit by going with a certified pre-owned one from Renew Digital. Your third decision just comes down to which one to choose. The information below should help.
As a certified pre-owned dealer of several different leading brands of panoramic X-ray and dental cone beam systems, Renew Digital is officially “brand neutral.” That means that we offer advice based on the objective features of each system and the needs of our customers. This enables our sales team to suggest the ideal models and modality for your practice, whether it be panoramic, cephalometric or CBCT, regardless of brand. With access to so many different leading dental X-ray machines, we can better serve our customers by matching them to the unit that is a perfect fit without any constraints.
There are many benefits to using extraoral bitewings in your dental or dental specialty practice. Less cross-contamination by minimizing intraoral X-ray methods makes for a safer workplace, especially when considering the current global pandemic. Plus, you can often get the same high-quality images as intraoral X-rays for accurate diagnoses. You and your patients will feel peace of mind from the low radiation dose, plus you’ll all benefit from more efficient patient care.
Used dental equipment seems to be everywhere these days. Several used dental equipment dealers have crept up in the past 5-10 years and it’s hard to keep them all straight. Many of these dealers advertise used dental equipment for sale directly on their websites or through other online channels and marketplaces such as eBay. If you’ve never bought used dental equipment for your practice, or never even considered it, you may be asking “Who is buying all of this used stuff?” and “Is it just as good as new?”
As the leading provider of certified pre-owned digital imaging equipment, we often speak with dentists and dental specialists who are ready to upgrade their extraoral imaging to support the needs of their practices. For many practices, this means proactively upgrading a panorex X-ray machine to CBCT (cone beam computed tomography), as a means of increasing their diagnostic and treatment planning capabilities.
For over 40 years, Planmeca has consistently ranked as one of the leading manufacturers in the industry for digital dental imaging, providing a comprehensive line of panoramic, cephalometric and cone beam imaging systems. Planmeca’s technologies routinely receive high marks for image quality, dependability, and ease of use.
For over 10 years, Renew Digital has helped dentists and specialists with practice digitization by making high-quality 2D and 3D dental X-ray machines more affordable with our extensive offering of certified pre-owned dental imaging equipment.
As the most common type of dental X-ray, the bitewing provides significant information for dentists to diagnose common dental conditions and aid in customized treatment planning for each patient. Besides showing clear images of the teeth and roots, a bitewing X-ray also shows occlusal positioning. Performing bitewing X-rays typically involves taking up to four images with a digital sensor or dental film to isolate certain areas. With the extraoral bitewing feature common in modern panorex X-ray systems, these concerns are a thing of the past.
