Dental04 customers rarely ask abstract SEO questions. They ask practical questions: how much is the total cost?, is freight included?, does it include computer?, who pays installation?. This guide turns those real buying questions into a checklist that helps clinics make safer decisions before paying, shipping, installing, or selling used dental imaging equipment.

A good used-equipment decision has three parts: proof from the actual unit, a realistic total-cost view, and a future service path. Price matters, but incomplete proof turns price into risk.

Quick answer

How much is the total cost? Compare the total working package, not only the asking price: condition, proof, included items, service access, freight, installation, and downtime change value.
Is freight included? Price removal, packing, freight, insurance, room preparation, installation, calibration, training, and future service before comparing offers.
Does it include computer? For hidden costs used dental imaging equipment, collect proof, total cost, software status, service path, and installation assumptions before deciding.
Who pays installation? Price removal, packing, freight, insurance, room preparation, installation, calibration, training, and future service before comparing offers.

The purchase price is only one line

Budget for removal, crating, freight, insurance, room preparation, power/network adjustments, installation, calibration, training, and possible first repairs.

Software can change the economics

Licenses, dongles, modules, old PCs, Windows compatibility, subscriptions, and DICOM export can add cost or block use.

Downtime has a price

A cheaper machine that waits weeks for service or a missing part can cost more than a better documented unit.

Normalize every quote

Compare scanner body, PC, software, accessories, freight, installation, training, warranty, and service in the same table before choosing.
