More and more, when it comes time to start shopping for dental imaging equipment - hunting for the best value can be tricky with so many different brands and models to choose from.
One thing that may help you in your search is finding manufacturers that offer upgradeable units. This means you can save money by purchasing a base model today, but have the flexibility to upgrade in the future - when the need or funds arrive to support that initiative!
Today, we’re looking into the 3 main reasons why doctors choose a ceph-upgradeable machine to suit their long-term needs.
Why Ceph X-ray Machines in the First Place?
An advancement often used in conjunction with panoramic imaging technology, cephalometric X-rays, often abbreviated simply to ceph X-ray machines, are also 2-dimensional. However, unlike traditional panoramic 2D imaging, ceph X-rays offer an advanced view of the side of the patient’s head, particularly with respect to soft tissue, and are especially useful for orthodontists for making judgments about treatment planning. While conventionally used for lateral imaging, they can also be used for frontal analyses.
Ceph X-ray machines can also be used to investigate TMJ concerns as well as suspected fractures of the teeth and jaw, and take precise measurements of anatomical structures, in addition to their uses for orthodontists.
Expanding your facility with a ceph-upgradeable digital dental X-ray machine is an investment in your practice that will enhance your service offerings and benefit your business in other ways. Here are among the best of them.
Why Doctors Prefer Ceph-Upgradeable Systems
- Future-Proof Investment: One of the primary advantages of choosing an upgradeable ceph X-ray machine is the ability to future-proof your investment.
An upgradeable ceph machine allows you the ability to add a ceph attachment (typically used for ortho workflows) in the future - without needing to purchase a new system. Even if you never do so, it offers you the flexibility to do so in the future without needing to procure the funds for a whole new imaging system (and then having to figure out what, if anything, to do with the old one).
- Cost-Effectiveness: Investing in an upgradeable ceph X-ray machine can be more cost-effective in the long run. Choosing a ceph-upgradeable unit gives you the ability to update over time to save you money compared to buying a new machine.
This flexibility allows practices to spread out their investment and adapt to changes in technology and clinical requirements as they arise. If it results in any real savings, those savings can then also be recycled into your practice in other areas.
- Enhanced Clinical Capabilities: Upgradeable ceph machines offer the potential for enhanced clinical capabilities. With an upgradeable system, you can add these new capabilities to your existing machine, expanding its functionality and improving the quality of care you can provide to your patients.
Expanding your practice’s service offerings can result in new revenue streams if and when you do decide to offer them, making a ceph-upgradeable machine a true investment in your practice’s profitability.
