It is becoming more common for dental practices to operate across several office locations, regardless of specialty. And, just like your main location, you’ll want to make sure you have access to the technology you need to provide the best patient care, including a digital x-ray and/or CBCT system.
For decades, the Planmeca brand has been well-respected for their delivery of high-quality dental X-ray machines and other products to dentists and dental specialists throughout the world. You’ve made a great decision on choosing a Planmeca CBCT for your dental practice. Your second great decision was saving 30-50% off the price of a new unit by going with a certified pre-owned one from Renew Digital. Your third decision just comes down to which one to choose. The information below should help.

When you’re looking at buying used dental equipment, particularly used extraoral dental X-ray machines, there are many important considerations you will need to take and features you will need to evaluate in order to ensure that the purchase is made wisely. Much like any expensive equipment purchase, the philosophy to “measure twice, cut once,” is applicable here.

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.
