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.

If you've been in the dental field for several years, one dental imaging brand that may come to mind is Gendex.
