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. ![Team Renew](https://learn.renewdigital.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Renew_Digital_.Circle.png?width=45&name=Renew_Digital_.Circle.png) [Team Renew](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/author/team-renew) [Read More](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/calculating-section-179-deduction-on-dental-imaging-equipment-for-2025) ![renew digital sell my dental x-ray equipment](https://learn.renewdigital.com/hubfs/BLOG%20IMAGES%20(750%20%C3%97%20420%20px)%20(54)-1.png) [PAN/CEPH,](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/tag/pan-ceph) [CBCT](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/tag/cbct) ### [Selling Your Used Dental Imaging Equipment with Renew Digital](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/selling-your-used-dental-imaging-equipment-with-renew-digital) October 21, 2025 In today’s fast-moving dental imaging market, many doctors are upgrading from 2D to CBCT, switching between brands, or consolidating offices. *But what happens to the **existing panoramic, pan/ceph, or CBCT machine** sitting in your operatory?* ![Jonathan Graf](https://learn.renewdigital.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Voxel%20Bios%20(20).png?width=45&name=Voxel%20Bios%20(20).png) [Jonathan Graf](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/author/jonathan-graf) [Read More](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/selling-your-used-dental-imaging-equipment-with-renew-digital) ![perfit ovis chairside milling](https://learn.renewdigital.com/hubfs/BLOG%20IMAGES%20(750%20%C3%97%20420%20px)%20(53)-1.png) ### [Voxel Dental: Meet the Perfit Ovis Chairside Mill](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/voxel-dental-perfit-ovis-chairside-mill) October 14, 2025 This article was originally published on our Trusted Dental Technologies sister-company Voxel Dental: [Meet the Perfit Ovis](https://learn.voxeldental.com/blog/meet-the-vatech-perfit-ovis-a-breakthrough-in-chairside-milling). ![Team Renew](https://learn.renewdigital.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Renew_Digital_.Circle.png?width=45&name=Renew_Digital_.Circle.png) [Team Renew](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/author/team-renew) [Read More](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/voxel-dental-perfit-ovis-chairside-mill) ![alliedstar sensa scanner](https://learn.renewdigital.com/hubfs/BLOG%20IMAGES%20(750%20%C3%97%20420%20px)%20(52)-1.png) [ORTHODONTICS,](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/tag/orthodontics) [GENERAL DENTISTRY,](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/tag/general-dentistry) [ALLIED STAR](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/tag/allied-star) ### [How Much Does an Alliedstar Scanner Cost?](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/how-much-does-an-alliedstar-scanner-cost) October 7, 2025 Thinking about a scanner?
