Are you looking for ways to economy-proof your practice? Across the country, dental practices are looking to increase their profitability by retaining more patients, lowering overhead and increasing their service offerings.

CBCT is a proven method towards increasing a dental practice's profitability.

Why?

3D imaging available through CBCT allows doctors to retain more procedures, and gives a visual aid for educating your patients - opening the door for increased treatment acceptance.

Think of CBCT as a tool to allow you to do more, better dentistry! 

So, are you ready? Today, we're going to talk about the qualifiers and considerations dentists (regardless of specialty) should take when considering an upgrade from 2D imaging to CBCT.. based on feedback we've received from doctors we've worked with.

Expanding your dental practice by opening a satellite office can be an exciting opportunity to grow your business, reach new patients, and increase your offerings.

Thinking about iTero? More than likely, if you’re starting your research into top intraoral scanning brands - iTero has been on your list to evaluate. Maybe you’ve been to a recent dental conference, you’ve spoken with an iTero rep or seen a demo, or you’ve researched online or asked a colleague about their preferred intraoral scanner.

Getting your practice management software right (from the get-go) is critical, because once you're established.. it can be challenging to switch! After all, a good dental practice management software should help you streamline operations, enhance patient care, and optimize overall efficiency.

And, as it relates to preparing to add new technologies, such as dental CBCT or intraoral scanners, you want your choice to be future-proof and able to seamlessly integrate with your equipment.

If you've been in the dental field for several years, one dental imaging brand that may come to mind is KaVo. This X-ray and CBCT brand once had a prominent footprint in the dental market, with displays featured at conferences, trade shows, CE courses, and more.

While you'll no longer see this brand name on X-ray equipment, their imaging excellence still exists through Envista/DEXIS, previously KaVo Kerr. KaVo Kerr Group also purchased the reputable Instrumentarium and Gendex brands, along with their industry-leading manufacturing and engineering teams. Along with i-CAT, the "brains" behind these machines are still in production on newer model DEXIS systems.

Today, you can still find 2D and 3D imaging devices with the KaVo brand name through certified pre-owned dealers and direct from fellow doctors.

So, what are some of the benefits of purchasing this brand name specifically? Today, we're going to evaluate the KaVo brand and their flagship products, KaVo OP 3D and KaVo OP 3D Pro.

Here at Renew Digital, we have always been very selective about which products we choose to offer, preferring to work with brands that really deliver great performance to go with our obsessive level of customer service.

When you are investing in a digital imaging system, we often recommend KaVo as an affordable option with a wide range of clinical applications. Let's dive in!

It’s hard to believe, but it’s that time of year again to start thinking about how to reduce your practice’s tax liability for 2023.

Section 179 of the IRS tax code, designed to encourage small businesses, such as dentists and dental specialists, to invest in their practices, allows 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 equipment like CBCT scanners, digital X-ray machines, intraoral cameras, 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.

Let's review how dental professionals can calculate their Section 179 deductions for dental imaging equipment.

Carestream is one of today's trusted names in dental imaging technology. And for good reason, they manufacturer a wide range of advanced X-ray machines that cater to the diverse needs of dental professionals.

With a commitment to innovation and imaging excellence, Carestream has developed a reputable lineup of extraoral X-ray machine models, both 2D and 3D, that deliver high-quality images, enhanced workflow efficiency, and patient comfort.

Korean dental imaging manufacturer Vatech is one of the dental industry's hottest names in imaging technology, and for good reason! From launching the world’s first 3-in-1 digital X-ray system to a 41-layer digital panoramic radiograph, Vatech has built quite a reputation across the globe.
