RENEW DIGITAL LEARNING HUB

When shopping for used dental equipment, dental professionals often have many questions about the process and “what happens next.” Renew Digital has previously discussed what happens after your purchase in our FAQ section, but you might have a few other preliminary questions, as well. Here’s what you need to know about shopping online and buying used panoramic X-ray machines or cone beam dental equipment with Renew Digital.

Renew Digital offers a wide variety of 3D cone beam enabled and 3D upgradeable panoramic X-ray and panoramic + ceph combination machines. Practices on a budget often ask us if it makes sense to buy a 3D upgradeable panoramic unit and upgrade later or go ahead and purchase a 3D enabled dental X-ray machine right now. The correct answer will be different for every practice, but here are some tips to help.

UPDATE: As of March 2022, all KavoKerr Group products are now rebranded under the name DEXIS.

Renew Digital offers several dental X-ray machine models from many brands under the KaVoKerr Group imaging umbrella. KaVoKerr has long been an international leader in the dental imaging industry. For well over a century, they have put dental excellence at the center of what they do by manufacturing high-quality, innovative products while increasing the standards within the dental market.

Dental cone beam has greatly enhanced the practice of orthodontics, from improved practice workflow to better patient care. With dental cone beam, orthodontists have the ability to see more anatomical information with greater accuracy allowing them to treat each patient individually, resulting in better, and sometimes faster, treatment outcomes. One of the main benefits of i-CAT dental cone beam systems for orthodontists is that orthodontic practices can capture all of their patient records at one time.

Cone beam dental scans have become the gold standard of dental imaging throughout the past two decades. They are especially helpful in the oral and maxillofacial surgery practice because they allow you to more effectively visualize dentition and dental anatomy without distortion and in relationship to other craniofacial structures. This helps you to more effectively and efficiently diagnose conditions, plan treatment, and communicate your treatment recommendations to your patients. All of these benefits ultimately lead to better surgical outcomes and higher patient satisfaction.

The cost of adding a dental cone beam machine to your dental or dental specialty practice can seem overwhelming at first. Of course your patients will see the immediate benefits of having this technology in your office, but as a business owner, your mind is also focused on profits. Here are a few ways you can recoup the costs and see a quick return on investment.

The Planmeca ProMax 3D Classic is a solid choice for general dentistry and implant practices thanks to its ease of use, robust features, and 8 x 8 cm medium field of view size. Plus, with certified pre-owned ProMax 3D options from Renew Digital, you can save 30-50% off the list prices of new dental cone beam systems. Here are just a few more of the great benefits of the Planmeca ProMax 3D Classic.

Sharing large dental cone beam scans can be a difficult and cumbersome process for some dental and dental specialty practices. Whether the patient is requesting a second opinion or needs to be referred to a colleague, clearly communicating your needs and having the right software are the keys to sharing digital files. Most of the dental cone beam X-ray brands have different ways to export scans. Here are a few examples.

In the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic, we have seen a rise in the use of creative and adaptive dental methodologies and techniques for dentists and dental specialists to reduce the risk of cross-contamination. One such example is the increased use of the panoramic bitewing feature now available with today’s extraoral dental X-ray machines. Many dental professionals previously held the belief that extraoral bitewing images were of inferior quality to their intraoral counterparts. However, thanks to improvements in modern dental technology, you can get similar quality diagnostic images and benefits with either intraoral or extraoral dental X-rays.

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.
