In recent years, CBCT has transformed the way orthodontists diagnose, plan, and execute treatment.

Vatech, a global leader in dental technology, has long been at the forefront of innovation, offering a comprehensive range of high-quality dental equipment and solutions.

The end of the year is an ideal time for dental practices to invest in used equipment, whether you're looking to upgrade your imaging systems, expand your services, or replace outdated tools. Certified pre-owned dental equipment offers exceptional value, allowing you to acquire high-quality technology at a fraction of the cost of new equipment. Here’s why purchasing used dental equipment at year-end is a smart financial and operational decision for your practice.

The American Association of Orthodontics (AAO) is an organization dedicated to promoting excellence in orthodontic care and education. Each year, the AAO hosts an annual meeting, which brings together orthodontic professionals from around the world to share knowledge, showcase the latest advancements in orthodontic technology and treatment techniques, and network with colleagues.

Expanding your dental practice by opening a satellite office can be an exciting opportunity to grow your business, reach new patients, and increase your offerings.

Are you thinking about a new imaging system for your practice? No matter whether you're setting up or upgrading, your practice needs the right imaging technology for the short and long-term.

More than likely, if you're researching intraoral scanners... you don't want a good price and good value slip by! And of course, you want to find the right equipment that fits the needs and skills of you and your staff, which takes time and evaluation.

With so many well-known and up-and-coming brands in intraoral scanning, it's hard to keep track of all your options! This makes it even more important that you’re getting all of the details regarding regarding speed, specs, 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 an intraoral scanner.

Today we’ll outline what you can expect to pay for an intraoral scanner today and forecasted into 2025.

It seems like no matter where you turn, from CE courses, to dental conferences, to webinars, trainings and more, doctors are getting more comfortable with the idea of upgrading to CBCT.

So, will 2025 be the year your practice makes the investment to upgrade from 2D imaging to 3D dental CBCT (cone beam)? If so, you’re in luck! There’s never been a better time to invest in CBCT.

With more CBCT brands in the market than ever before, prices continue to get more affordable while the technology steadily improves.

It’s hard to believe, but it’s that time of year again to start thinking about how to reduce your practice’s tax liability for 2024.

Section 179 of the IRS tax code, designed to encourage small businesses, including many private practices, to invest in their practice and allow 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.

For dental practices, this means that the cost of capital equipment such as CBCT, digital X-ray machines, intraoral scanners, and even software can be fully or partially deducted from gross income. This means your practice 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.

Calculating this deduction effectively can help reduce tax liabilities and improve cash flow for practices. Here’s a guide to understanding and calculating the Section 179 deduction for dental imaging equipment.
