Like most electronics these days, there is a large market and many options for refurbished dental equipment. Here are some questions to ask the seller before you select refurbished dental equipment, especially very expensive and specialized equipment such as used dental X-ray machines.

These days you can buy just about anything used. That’s why sites like eBay, Facebook Marketplace and Nextdoor are so popular. Dental and dental specialty practices are no different; there is no shortage of used dental equipment for sale. Here’s a quick summary of where you can find used dental equipment for sale as well tips and tricks for making a smart purchase when using these sites.

Buying a used Planmeca ProMax machine for your dental practice can cost a lot less than buying new, but you may be worried that it’s outdated or not as high-quality as a newer model. We understand your concerns and want to assure you that used dental X-ray machines from Renew Digital have the same quality, reliability, and long life as buying new thanks to our intensive re-certification process.

The digital revolution has taken the healthcare industry by storm. This especially is true when it comes to radiography. When you bring a digital dental X-ray machine into your practice, you’ll see a lot of immediate benefits, as well as some long-term ones.

As we approach the end of the year, it’s time to start thinking about how to take advantage of certain tax deductions before it’s too late. For new or used dental equipment and/or software, one deduction for dental professionals to consider is Section 179. This allows you to write off the entire cost of your equipment purchase for this year’s tax filings. In 2020, there are some new rules to follow to ensure you get the maximum benefit. Take a look at just some of the highlights below.

2020 was a year unlike any other. With the worldwide Coronavirus pandemic hitting the United States in early March 2020, it’s been one unprecedented change after another. One such change is the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) that was provided to small businesses, such as dental and dental specialty practices, earlier this year to help practice owners keep their staff on the payroll. But, did you know that dental practitioners that took advantage of the PPP Program can actually reduce their tax obligations from the receipt of PPP funds by purchasing large capital equipment and software, such as dental X-ray equipment, for their practices? Here’s how.

Did you know that about two thirds of dental and dental specialty practices have already implemented digital dental X-ray equipment in place of film? Based on the number of requests we get for digital equipment, we believe it! These hardware improvements have certainly made things easier and more efficient, but one of the best parts of implementing digital dental X-ray technology is the imaging software that drives the 2D and 3D dental X-ray machines. Modern dental imaging software has many features for both 2D and 3D dental X-rays that help streamline diagnoses and improve patient care.

Many dentists and dental specialists have come to realize the great benefits of having an in-office cone beam dental machine. Not only can it offer you more diagnostic options than standard 2D panoramic imaging, it can also enhance patient confidence and communication and increase treatment acceptance. Here are few of the top benefits of cone beam dental machines for both practitioners and patients alike.

Here at Renew Digital, we sell many different types of X-ray machines to many different types of dental professionals. It’s safe to say that there’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to dental X-ray equipment because each practice has its own needs. But it’s also safe to say that the Planmeca ProMax panoramic X-ray machine is an ideal fit for most dental practices. Here are a few of the reasons we frequently recommend this unit.

Dentists are bound by the ALARA principle to capture patient images with radiation doses that are as low as reasonably achievable. This helps to mitigate the potential for future health concerns for your patients. As this is a large concern for some patients, they may decide to refuse a dental cone beam scan, therefore making you unable to accurately and efficiently diagnose them and develop a treatment plan.
