10. Does your dental equipment need an upgrade? Why now's the time to purchase

With Ileana Cruz
The thought of investing in new dental technology can be overwhelming. In general, change can be hard – add the significant capital investment new technology brings, and it’s easy to understand why some dentists put off upgrading their equipment. But by waiting too long to upgrade your dental equipment, you might be short-changing yourself on new technologies that can increase the efficiency of your dental practice, improve your operation margins, and make your practice more attractive to potential patients.
