### [How Much Does a Sirona CBCT Cost?](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/how-much-does-sirona-cbct-cost)
March 10, 2026
For years, Dentsply Sirona has been internationally recognized by dentists and dental specialists for its high-quality dental imaging equipment. While this company was formed in 2016, this company brings decades of experience through the merger of two leading manufacturers: DENTSPLY International and Sirona Dental Systems.
As one of the most significant equipment investments for a dental practice, extraoral imaging and 3D CBCT technology should be well-researched and carefully planned prior to purchase. Many major manufacturers, like Dentsply Sirona, have a wide variety of cone beam systems available to meet the needs of nearly any dental practice or clinical application.
So, if you’re considering Sirona for your next, or even first, CBCT system, you can feel confident you’re making a solid investment in a reputable brand.

### [Calculating Section 179 Deduction on Dental Imaging Equipment for 2024](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/calculating-section-179-deduction-dental-imaging-equipment-0)
October 29, 2024
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 2024.
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.
