Previously, we have published a series of articles covering the maintenance of dental equipment. This page is designed to bring those together and create a snap-shot of the subjects we covered.
Dental equipment can generally last several years if properly utilised and maintained, so it is recommended to set-up a service schedule for all maintenance and certification intervals. Prevention of potential equipment break-downs is much better for the dental practice than repair work as a cure.
Annual servicing carried out by our experienced and trained engineers will reduce the chance of problems. They can diagnose malfunctions in existing as well as newly purchased equipment using manufacturers service kits and special test and analysis instruments.
Planned preventative maintenance (PPM) will help to prevent equipment failure and ensure you are compliant to CQC guidelines. For a full synopsis of the importance of dental equipment servicing, read our article - Do I need to have my dental equipment serviced?
Dental engineers offer an invaluable service in a dental practice to keep essential machinery functioning and limiting costly downtime that may result from equipment failure. There are many negative outcomes to equipment breakdowns.
They could:
The engineering of dental equipment covers electrical, mechanical and pneumatic parts and dental engineers have a significant role in assembling, installing, maintaining, modifying, repairing and servicing the equipment. Some of the parts may get damaged or wear-out over time and faulty equipment can pose a danger to patients and the professional.
Our team of in-house dental engineers can cover the servicing, maintenance and repair of any type of equipment within the practice, including:
Check out this article – The Ultimate Guide to Dental Engineering to discover the tasks and activities an engineer will undertake for each of these service assignments.
Call-out services are essential if a piece of equipment fails. We always endeavour to attend to repair calls as soon as possible, but if you need an engineer urgently, you can choose our emergency service. See this article - Emergency Engineer and Call-Out for more details.
Dental equipment repairs can be a costly endeavour, especially with an older machine. Then the decision will have to be made whether to keep it going for a while longer or replace it with a more updated piece of equipment.
Before deciding whether to repair or replace, check the equipment’s age, any issues (previous repairs and ongoing problems), warranty and usage. And, if you would like more information on this subject including our engineer’s top tips and frequently asked questions, check out this page – Dental Equipment: Repair or Replace.
