Is it time to replace or upgrade your existing dental X-ray machine, or are you building a new general dental or dental specialty office and want to add an X-ray machine? Either way, here are some important things to consider when planning your space and selecting the correct dental X-ray machine to ensure the best (and safest) patient experience.

The latest advancements in technology and commoditization of digital and cone beam X-ray technology have allowed for dental and dental specialty practices to upgrade from film to digital dental X-ray machines at faster rates than ever before. In recent years, we’ve even seen a huge push from 2D  panoramic X-ray machines) to dental cone beam systems that provide 3D imaging options. This is great news for dental practitioners who are able to more effectively and efficiently treat their patients as well as add more procedures to their list of available services. This all can lead to healthier patients and a healthier bottom line for the dental practice, as well.

Knowing that you can get the same high-quality panoramic X-ray machines and dental cone beam from Renew Digital for 30-50% less than new dental equipment should excite you but it might also make you a bit skeptical. That’s okay. We understand. It’s hard to believe that this used dental equipment can cost so much less while still providing the same features and functionality as brand-new models. So, when we buy or sell panoramic dental X-rays or cone beam systems, how do we determine our pricing? Here’s a breakdown of the process to help clarify things for you.

You need an updated imaging system that produces high-quality cephalometric x-rays and want some guidance on your options. Well, you’re in luck!

Over the past decade that we’ve been in business, Renew Digital has worked extensively with a variety of leading digital dental equipment manufacturers that offer panoramic X-ray machines, cone beam CT systems, and intraoral scanners. We’ve also worked very closely with thousands of dental and dental specialty practices across the United States and have a good understanding of their clinical and workflow needs.

Although Renew Digital specializes in providing our customers with some of the most trusted names in the digital dental imaging industry, sometimes it is worth focusing on a particular manufacturer or model. In this case we are discussing the Planmeca ProMax 3D Classic, which delivers several features and functions to help make this dedicated panoramic and medium field of view (FOV) cone beam system a great choice for general dentists and specialists alike. In addition, purchasing certified pre-owned digital dental imaging equipment from Renew Digital helps make owning a Planmeca CBCT system more affordable than ever.

The American Dental Association (ADA) defines a Dental Support Organization (DSO) as “a group practice that contracts with a dental management organization to conduct all of the business activities of the practice.” DSO models emerged as early as the 1990s when a group of orthodontists joined together to manage all business aspects of the orthodontic practices, separating out these functions and allowing practitioners to focus on patient care.

Renew Digital offers a wide range of certified pre-owned Sirona dental panoramic, cephalometric and cone beam systems. When considering adding a Sirona X-ray or CBCT system to their practices, dentists often ask about compatibility with other devices, software, and programs. We’re answering some of the most commonly asked questions below.

The KaVo Orthopantogmograph OP 3D Pro is a technologically advanced and highly sensitive dental X-ray machine. As such, it must be maintained and calibrated regularly to ensure the highest quality images and proper equipment operation. The maintenance and calibration schedules listed below are based on the manufacturer’s recommendations but can be adjusted to be more stringent based on state and local regulations, if necessary. Be sure to check with your state and local regulatory authorities for required maintenance and calibration frequencies.

Pre-owned Sirona Orthophos XG panoramic X-ray machines from Renew Digital are built to last, but that doesn’t mean they don’t need a little T.L.C. Even though your certified pre-owned Sirona XG3 or Sirona XG5 panoramic X-ray was fully tested during installation, it will still need regular maintenance so that it stays in prime condition and your patient images remain at the highest quality possible. Here are a few tips from the manufacturer and Renew Digital for keeping your used Sirona X-ray machine in the best possible working order.
