Buying a used [Planmeca](https://www.renewdigital.com/brands/planmeca) ProMax machine for your dental practice can cost a lot less than buying new, but you may be worried that it’s outdated or not as high-quality as a newer model. We understand your concerns and want to assure you that used dental X-ray machines from Renew Digital have the same quality, reliability, and long life as buying new thanks to our intensive re-certification process.
Here are a few of the other benefits of purchasing a used Planmeca ProMax dental X-ray machine over a new model.
- The hardware and overall design of the Planmeca ProMax hasn't had significant changes for decades. The model you purchase today is nearly identical to the original design.
- Planmeca’s Selective Compliance Articulated Robot Arm (SCARA) technology is available in both new and used models. SCARA moves along with the patient’s anatomy during rotation for higher quality images and more accurate diagnoses.
- Planmeca quality is built to last and is synonymous with reliability and long life. Not only will the unit itself stand up to all that you throw at it, but the technology behind it will still be valuable in the years to come.
- Planmeca is well-known and respected brand within the dental market. It makes sense when you consider that they are available in 120 countries and have been at the forefront of dental imaging technology for nearly 50 years.
- One of the biggest concerns with buying used Planmeca ProMax is access to the latest software. When you buy from reputable dealers like Renew Digital, you’ll get the most up-to-date software available for the unit you choose.
- Probably one of the best reasons to buy used Planmeca ProMax is that you can save 30-50% off new equipment prices when you shop with Renew Digital. There’s no reason to pay more when you can get the same quality machine for so much less.
- The Planmeca ProMax has your choice of the DIMAX 3 vs. DIMAX 4 sensor. The variances in current vs. previous generation sensor technology can save you even more. Plus, the image quality differences are very slight based on diagnostic needs.
- Even used machines are eligible for the Section 179 tax benefits. This allows you to deduct the full purchase price of any machine you buy, reducing your tax bill at the end of the year.
- The Planmeca ProMax is an easy to use machine. You don't need a lot of training which means you can put this technology to work in your practice right away.
- The beauty of Planmeca ProMax products is that they are versatile and flexible. You can upgrade to ceph or 3D imaging capabilities at any time by contacting the manufacturer.
- The 2D images you capture can integrate into your existing imaging software via the TWAIN interface, which is included with your purchase.
One thing to be cautious of when buying used Planmeca ProMax is to be wary of sales by owner, eBay sales, and offers from unknown dealers. Planmeca installations are sensitive and equipment moves and installations should only be performed by reputable, state-approved dealers like Renew Digital.
## Renew Digital: Your Trusted Planmeca ProMax Partner
A used Planmeca ProMax machine is a great way to bring this powerful technology into your practice for a lot less money. It’s important to work with a reputable dealer that knows the rules in your state.
