Used dental equipment: advantages and disadvantages
Opening your own dental office entails incredible material investments, most of which go to the equipment. Great savings will allow the purchase of used dental equipment, which is not inferior to the new. Using this option, you can start your business, and already in the process of its successful development - to replace the used equipment with a new one.
Today, dentist services are among the most expensive. That is why the requirements for specialists and amenities are very high during the procedures, and they, in turn, are directly dependent on the equipment. If you are going to open your dental office or slightly modernize the existing one, you need to be ready to invest huge amounts of money. Most of the money will go to the equipment, especially if you want to guarantee visitors a high-quality result.
Purchase of used equipment - advantages and disadvantages
New equipment for dentistry is not cheap, and not every new businessman can afford to purchase it. Even with the issuance of loans for the development of small businesses, given the average data that the dental unit pays off within six months, there is still the risk of problems with loan repayments.
The ideal option in this case is the purchase of equipment that has already been used. You can buy it on the platform for ads Bimedis, where there are many proposals for the purchase / sale of medical equipment. Second-hand does not mean at all that the device is inoperative or low-quality, but it is sold for certain reasons, for example, a non-profit business or vice versa, an unplanned upgrade of an existing technology.
The purchase of such equipment has its pros and cons. The main advantage of purchasing such a device is to save money. In this case, you get a fully working dental instrument, just two or three times cheaper. It is possible to purchase such equipment with a still valid warranty, which will make it possible to service it for free during the period specified in the documentation.
As practice shows, all the problems with the new dental equipment appear in the first years of its active use. However, before buying a used dental equipment must call a specialist to thoroughly check the status of the dental unit. This will allow you not to fall into the trap of fraudsters who may be deceiving about unprecedented work, and it will also make you more confident in the correctness of your choice.
