RENEW DIGITAL LEARNING HUB

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.

As the most common type of dental X-ray, the bitewing provides significant information for dentists to diagnose common dental conditions and aid in customized treatment planning for each patient. Besides showing clear images of the teeth and roots, a bitewing X-ray also shows occlusal positioning. Performing bitewing X-rays typically involves taking up to four images with a digital sensor or dental film to isolate certain areas. With the extraoral bitewing feature common in modern panorex X-ray systems, these concerns are a thing of the past.

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.

As the leading provider of certified pre-owned digital dental equipment from premier manufacturers, we are constantly fielding questions from our valued customers about which type and/or model of dental X-ray machine to purchase. One of the most common questions we get is whether a digital panorex X-ray machine or a dental cone beam system is the best choice when upgrading to a new extraoral imaging system. Here are some of the considerations we offer when advising our current and prospective customers.

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.

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.

When shopping for used dental equipment, dental professionals often have many questions about the process and “what happens next.” Renew Digital has previously discussed what happens after your purchase in our FAQ section, but you might have a few other preliminary questions, as well. Here’s what you need to know about shopping online and buying used panoramic X-ray machines or cone beam dental equipment with Renew Digital.

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.
