Buying used dental equipment can save your practice thousands. However, it’s important to find a reliable seller and know the quality of the item you’re purchasing. You also need to understand how much you’re saving, whether the equipment will work in your location and how you’ll handle repairs.

Many dentists use the Internet to find used dental equipment for sale. Online classified sites, such as Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace, often have listings for used dental equipment that can be bought at a reduced price. Some sellers also advertise on their websites or in local publications. However, you should always be aware of the risks involved in sharing personal information over the Internet and verify a seller’s credentials before handing over payment.
