Somone told me that it costs about half a million for a dental chair, and I don't believe it. how much $ does a normal dental chair cost?
$500,000 for a dental *practice* isn't necessarily unreasonable, but that's quite a markup for a single chair.Somone told me that it costs about half a million for a dental chair, and I don't believe it. how much $ does a normal dental chair cost?

for half a million that chair better rub my jollies
$10,000-$15,000 is probably about average for a chair. But you will have no trouble finding someone to sell you a more expensive model. I just got a quote from Patterson to equip 2 ops with chairs, units, sterilization and digital radiographs. $220,000. That doesn't include installation, instruments, computers, supplies, or any of the zillion other things you need to run a dental practice.
I think the rep thought he saw "fresh meat" written on my forehead. Needless to say, I won't be going with Patterson - or at least not that rep.
At least once a year, I have to spend $80 for the repair of each of my $500 Midwest handpieces. Last month, I took Daurangs advice and purchased four cheap high speed handpieces from a Hong Kong seller on Ebay. I paid $30 each and the shipping was free. They are still OK after 4-5 cycles of high temperature (360F) dry heat sterilization. When these cheap handpieces stop working, I just throw them away. Thanks, Daurang!Hello. What do you think about Chineese dental equipment?
How much does it normaly cost good quality dental chairs, casting mashines?

Just walked through a brand new pediatric dentist's practice last night and her chairs cost $15,000 per.

You must really look like a 12yr. old kid. I constructed my office from scratch (permits, framing, drywall, hvac, electrical, painting, carpet, cabinet, installation, etc.) and completely equipped with 2 ops for $80K total.
Where are you building and how big was the office? this is an unbelievable price even for a house, let alone a new dental practice.
