RENEW DIGITAL LEARNING HUB

Taking the leap from 2D to 3D dental imaging can be daunting and extremely expensive. Fortunately, Renew Digital offers high-quality dental imaging equipment at 40-60% less than buying brand new, all backed by quality service and support you can count on. Sound too good to be true? It’s not.

Thanks to increased public discussion about radiation safety, patients today have greater concerns about their dentist using an extraoral dental X-ray machine than they did in the past. This is despite reassurance that a dental X-ray machine exposes them to far less radiation than other types of medical equipment such as a medical CT scan. As a dentist, it’s up to you to train your staff to reduce patient exposure to radiation and to educate patients about their actual risk.

You want the best imaging equipment to aid in patient treatment planning, yet you don’t have the available funds or are not ready invest in new equipment. A refurbished Planmeca ProMax 3D system can be the ideal solution. Equipped with SCARA (Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm) technology, Planmeca ProMax 3D offers multiple features that enable you to capture high-quality, detailed images of your patients’ teeth and other anatomy to develop a targeted treatment plan.

Graduating from dental school is certainly something that brings great pride. It took years of hard work, not only in dental school but in your undergraduate studies before that. Now that you’re about to strike out on your own, it’s important to consider how to manage the debt load you incurred while a student and the debt you must take on if you choose to start your own practice.

Patient preparation is an important part of the success of capturing a 2D X-ray using a refurbished Planmeca ProMax machine from Renew Digital. You or a member of your dental staff should provide the patient with sufficient instruction and ensure that he or she understands the requests before moving forward with obtaining the image.

Are you looking for a better solution to conventional dental impressions? Are you considering re-purposing the current area you’re using for storing the impressions into more productive space? Are you reluctant to purchase a cone beam system for fear of spending more than $100,000 for a quality device? If you answered “yes” to all of these questions, a certified pre-owned Carestream Kodak CS 9300 3D or CS 8100 3D system may be exactly what you’re looking for.

When your practice doesn’t have its own three-dimensional (3D) imaging system, you must refer patients to other providers to obtain the information you need for diagnosing and treating your patients. This means your practice loses revenue to your referral partner and your patient must go through the inconvenience of scheduling another appointment somewhere else.

When it comes to taking X-ray images of your dental patients, you need equipment that performs at the same level of excellence that you do. SCARA technology, which stands for Selective Compliance Articulated Robot Arm, provides you with exactly that. Planmeca, a world leader in developing and marketing premier dental imaging systems, developed SCARA for use with their Planmeca ProMax X-ray units to achieve complex, flexible, and precise movements during X-ray rotation. The result: clear, accurate, and consistently high-quality maxillofacial images.

Although some patients may have concerns about radiation exposure during a dental appointment, the amount of radiation dentists use is so insignificant that many patients consider it an afterthought. When explaining dental X-ray machine radiation to patients, dental practitioners sometimes compare dental radiation dose to the amount of natural radiation a patient may receive from a few minutes lounging at the beach or traveling on an airplane. This helps patients better understand the risks of dental imaging vs. the rewards of maintaining proper dental health.

You need state-of-the art equipment to remain competitive in today’s dental market. If investing in updated dental imaging technology isn’t currently part of your budget, using one of the three creative purchasing techniques below can help you obtain the equipment sooner than you would have otherwise.
