The Ultimate List Of DENTAL INSTRUMENTS & EQUIPMENTS For Your Clinic

Hey friends! Welcome back to my blog! If you are here on this page then you might be going to open a new dental clinic. Here I had listed all the dental products, instruments, and equipment that will be needed for a new dental clinic. I had tried my best to add all the products which will be useful for your clinic

Let me just tell you a few things in general. Before you make a purchase, please make a checklist of products that will be needed for your dental clinic. Include everything from materials, instruments, equipment, decors, furnishes, stationery, and everything. In one paper write the list of materials, on other equipment, and separate the list. Categorize the list, so that it would be easy for you to buy, bargain and check. I had given a vast list of dental materials, and according to your need, you can change or cut down the list.

    • Dear Ravi,

      Thanks for your appreciation of this list of dental products I had given here.

      I would say it will cost you an approximate of Rs.10 lakhs for total clinic set-up with 2 dental chairs and all the standard materials and equipment.

      This includes interior designing with partitions using quality plywoods, mica sheets, 12mm glass for doors, electricals, plumbing, painting, etc for a clinic of around 400-500 square feet. It will also include your hoardings using ACP boards, designing of visiting cards, pamphlets, FB page, website and lot more.

      And about from where to buy the products: I would suggest you buy costly equipment like dental chairs, compressors, RVG, X-Ray, etc from the offline dealer and other products from Online. Please do re-check with the service provided by the local dealer and the manufacturing companies.

A good addition would be to add approx price range for the major equipments , like x-ray ,Apex locator, compressors,autoclave, uv cabinets etc . Thanks for the list, doc. It really helped.

    • Dear Dr.Amee,

      Thank you so much!

      The cost for a one chair clinic can be somewhere between 3-4 lakhs. It depends on the instruments and equipment you are planning to use. Make out a plan whether you need equipment like RVG, Endomotor, Intra-oral camera, etc.

      Also, you have to keep in mind which chair you are going to buy, there are chairs ranging from 1.5 to 3 lakhs. So in short, the cost completely depends on your requirements.
