Dental equipment list for new practice cost

Summary

A new dental practice equipment list should be built from workflows, not shopping categories. Digital scanner, printer, PMS, autoclave, curing light, milling, loupes, and CBCT each create downstream costs in software, service, training, consumables, installation, compliance, and downtime planning.

This page uses the approved Phase 3 source set and treats missing prices, warranty terms, training, regional clearance, and support packages as unknown until a supplier confirms them in writing. Manufacturer claims are presented as manufacturer claims, not Dental Spec Guide testing.

Products and sourced details

1. Medit i900

   Relevant sourced detail

   Medit i900 is a premium wired intraoral scanner.

   Workflow / procurement checks

   • Medit lists a 165 g scanner weight including the medium tip, a compact 35 mm grip, expanded field of view, 10-bit imaging, touch controls, multiple tip sizes, tips rated for up to 150 autoclave cycles, calibration intervals up to 90 days, and STL/PLY/OBJ export through Medit Link rather than direct export from Medit Scan for Clinics.
   • Use the linked official Medit page as the controlling source for current specifications, package contents, regional availability, and support language.
   • The main open items recorded for Medit i900 are: current price, regional warranty, training package.
   • For an intraoral scanner purchase, the important procurement question is not just the scanner body.
   • Verify the export path, supported file formats, laptop or cart requirements, tip replacement cost, calibration/hygiene workflow, lab compatibility, software subscription position, training, and local service response.

   If the vendor describes imaging, AI, or diagnostic-assist features, treat those as region-specific claims that require written confirmation before use in patient communication. Keep manufacturer claims attributed to the manufacturer, and ask the supplier to confirm the exact configuration in writing before purchase. This expanded note is desk-researched procurement guidance only; Dental Spec Guide has not performed hands-on testing, clinical validation, cybersecurity testing, radiation-safety assessment, or legal review for this product.

   Relevant sourced detail

   Dentsply Sirona CEREC Primemill is a chairside dental milling machine in the CEREC ecosystem.

   Key sourced details
