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.

In the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic, we have seen a rise in the use of creative and adaptive dental methodologies and techniques for dentists and dental specialists to reduce the risk of cross-contamination. One such example is the increased use of the panoramic bitewing feature now available with today’s extraoral dental X-ray machines. Many dental professionals previously held the belief that extraoral bitewing images were of inferior quality to their intraoral counterparts. However, thanks to improvements in modern dental technology, you can get similar quality diagnostic images and benefits with either intraoral or extraoral dental X-rays.

As we approach the end of the year, it’s time to start thinking about how to take advantage of certain tax deductions before it’s too late. For new or used dental equipment and/or software, one deduction for dental professionals to consider is Section 179.

Did you know that about two thirds of dental and dental specialty practices have already implemented digital dental X-ray equipment in place of film? Based on the number of requests we get for digital equipment, we believe it! These hardware improvements have certainly made things easier and more efficient, but one of the best parts of implementing digital dental X-ray technology is the imaging software that drives the 2D and 3D dental X-ray machines. Modern dental imaging software has many features for both 2D and 3D dental X-rays that help streamline diagnoses and improve patient care.

Due to the growing presence of COVID-19 throughout the world, many dental practices were forced to close their doors for several months this spring. Although safety protocols have certainly changed, now is the time to reopen and welcome patients back in for treatment.

Use this guide when powering on or using your X-ray for the first time after being out of the office for at least a week. This helps to ensure proper operation and safety for you and your staff.
