RENEW DIGITAL LEARNING HUB

At Renew Digital, some of the recurring concerns we hear from customers considering the purchase of a dental CBCT machine are in regards to compliance with state regulations. Dentists and dental specialists interested in upgrading their 2D panoramic X-ray systems have consistently asked us what they should do to comply with state regulatory agencies when undergoing a 3D upgrade. Here are a few top considerations.

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.

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.

Getting a new or pre-owned dental cone beam system is very exciting! With Renew Digital, you still get the new equipment experience, but at pre-owned pricing, saving you 30-50% off new dental cone beam prices. But, how does it all work?

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.

Cone beam dental scans have become the gold standard of dental imaging throughout the past two decades. They are especially helpful in the oral and maxillofacial surgery practice because they allow you to more effectively visualize dentition and dental anatomy without distortion and in relationship to other craniofacial structures. This helps you to more effectively and efficiently diagnose conditions, plan treatment, and communicate your treatment recommendations to your patients. All of these benefits ultimately lead to better surgical outcomes and higher patient satisfaction.

The cost of adding a dental cone beam machine to your dental or dental specialty practice can seem overwhelming at first. Of course your patients will see the immediate benefits of having this technology in your office, but as a business owner, your mind is also focused on profits. Here are a few ways you can recoup the costs and see a quick return on investment.

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.

Like most electronics these days, there is a large market and many options for refurbished dental equipment. Here are some questions to ask the seller before you select refurbished dental equipment, especially very expensive and specialized equipment such as used dental X-ray machines.
