The increasing affordability of dental cone beam (CBCT) technology has expanded the benefit of 3D imaging to a growing number of dentists and dental specialists. Today, more practices are making the investment in CBCT imaging systems to allow for greater in-office clinical capabilities as well as more rapid treatment planning and case acceptance. But with so many cone beam machines available, which CBCT system is right for your practice?
Dental X-ray machines are FDA-regulated medical devices. As such, most states throughout the United States require that dental and dental specialty practices register their facilities and dental X-ray equipment through their state Department of Health or X-ray Programs. X-ray registration helps states maintain and protect the health and safety of the practice staff and patients through initial approvals (if required) and routine periodic inspections of the X-ray equipment. If practices fail to register their facilities and/or their X-ray machines, then states cannot properly ensure the safety of its constituents. Failure to register X-ray facilities and devices with the state in a timely manner can result in serious violations and civil penalties for the doctor and the practice.
Most dental practices rely on their panorex X-ray machine in order to provide a high level of patient care, help diagnose dental conditions and prepare for future treatment planning. While many panoramic X-ray machines provide similar functionality, none of them are exactly alike in their specific requirements.
There are many benefits to using extraoral bitewings in your dental or dental specialty practice. Less cross-contamination by minimizing intraoral X-ray methods makes for a safer workplace, especially when considering the current global pandemic. Plus, you can often get the same high-quality images as intraoral X-rays for accurate diagnoses. You and your patients will feel peace of mind from the low radiation dose, plus you’ll all benefit from more efficient patient care.
As a dental practice, downtime caused by technical issues from your imaging system can be more than just a headache. Cost from canceled appointments and delays in making diagnoses and finalizing treatment plans are the top reasons why dental professionals want to protect their imaging system investment with routine maintenance. With so much at stake, you may be wondering, what do I need to be doing to maintain my equipment?
Used dental equipment seems to be everywhere these days. Several used dental equipment dealers have crept up in the past 5-10 years and it’s hard to keep them all straight. Many of these dealers advertise used dental equipment for sale directly on their websites or through other online channels and marketplaces such as eBay. If you’ve never bought used dental equipment for your practice, or never even considered it, you may be asking “Who is buying all of this used stuff?” and “Is it just as good as new?”
