Dental Equipment
Used Dental Equipment: A Good Idea?
Dental equipment is expensive. Repairs are costly. One dilemma you may face as you
decide how to build and sustain your new office is whether you should purchase new
equipment or take advantage of offers of donated equipment.
New equipment will have warranties and require few if any repairs but require a large
initial investment. Used or donated equipment may eliminate the purchase cost
completely and be a wonderful boon, or may be out-dated and may ultimately cost
you more in lost productivity due to breakdowns and increase irritation and costs
with frequent repairs.
Older equipment may have different utility requirements or other compatibility issues. Always have an
expert check.
X-ray machines must be registered and disposed of legally whether or not they are usable in your practice, or
even work at all. Do not accept X-ray dinosaurs. Because of your not-for-profit status, your program should
expect manufacturer discounts and special pricing to help you afford new, reliable equipment. You can likely find
a very affordable brand of new equipment that will serve you better.
If your budget is such that you truly cannot afford to purchase all of your equipment new, strategically use
donated equipment in places where breakdowns will not shut down your office. Before you accept donations
have a knowledgeable person, such as a qualified technician, examine the equipment for you. This person
should tell you if the donated equipment is suitable for a modern practice, how long it is likely to last, whether
utility connections will work, and if replacement parts are still available.
Donations from dentists in private practice benefit the dentist with tax credits, a way
to dispose of large items, and a good feeling about helping. These donations may not
provide as great a benefit to you.
What seems like a great way to save a little money up front, may ultimately become a
nightmare for your program.
