RENEW DIGITAL LEARNING HUB

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.

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way many of us go about our daily lives. This is especially true for dental practices and how they deliver care to their patients. Renew Digital, the leader in certified pre-owned dental X-ray machines and cone beam systems, has gathered some information on how to provide safe and effective care to your patients, especially as they apply to dental imaging.

Here at Renew Digital, we offer a wide range of Planmeca ProMax S3 2D panorex models and typically carry a few different options at any given time. The Planmeca ProMax S3 is well known in the dental market for its reliability, dependability, and long life. It can be upgraded to cephalometric or cone beam imaging at any time, making it one of the most versatile options. Plus, at 30-50% less than the cost of new Planmeca ProMax S3 machines, they’re not only a powerful digital X-ray machine, but also an unbeatable value. Take a look below at some of the features that set the Planmeca ProMax S3 apart from other digital dental X-ray machines in its class.

If you’re looking for an extremely affordable 2-in-1 cone beam + panoramic dental X-ray machine, look no further than the Gendex GXDP-700! This state-of-the-art unit provides advanced 3D diagnostic capabilities, is perfect for implantology specialties, and can help improve your practice’s workflow.

Due to the growing presence of COVID-19 throughout the world, many dental practices were forced to close their doors for several months this spring. Although safety protocols have certainly changed, now is the time to reopen and welcome patients back in for treatment. Before you see your first patient, however, it’s wise to inspect and test your dental X-ray machine. Use this guide when powering on or using your X-ray for the first time after being out of the office for at least a week. This helps to ensure proper operation and safety for you and your staff.

There are many places you can go to find used dental X-ray equipment. You can buy refurbished or overstock equipment at a discount directly from the manufacturer or a dealer. You can choose a used equipment reseller, often called a remanufacturer. Or, you can choose to purchase from another practitioner. Regardless of where you get your equipment, it’s important to ask a few questions before writing the check.
