Practices We Serve
Dental Implant Centers
Finance dental implant center equipment including CBCT imaging, surgical motors, guided surgery systems, and milling units. Competitive quotes for implant-focused practices.
Implant dentistry has its own equipment logic. Every step in the full-arch or single-tooth implant workflow -- the CBCT scan, the digital treatment plan, the surgical guide print, the implant placement motor, and the prosthetic restoration -- is either performed in-house with the right equipment or outsourced at a cost that shrinks the margin. Implant centers that control the full workflow from scan to crown generate significantly better per-case economics than those who outsource the planning, the guide, or the prosthetic.
Financing an implant center's technology stack is one of the cleaner conversations in dental equipment lending. The procedures are fee-for-service, the revenue per case is high, and the equipment investment is anchored to a clearly defined workflow rather than scattered across an assortment of clinical tools. A lender who understands implant dentistry can look at a practice's case volume and average revenue per implant case and size the deal confidently.
We work with implant-focused practices from the dental surgeon adding guided surgery to an existing OMS or perio practice, to the all-on-four center building a dedicated same-day implant facility from scratch. Deal sizes range from $80,000 for a CBCT and surgical motor package to $500,000 and above for a full same-day implant center with in-house milling and a dedicated surgical suite.
The Implant Center Equipment Stack
The Implant Center Equipment Stack
A contemporary implant center is defined by its ability to complete the diagnosis-to-delivery workflow without external dependencies. Each piece of equipment in the chain feeds the next.
- CBCT imaging: The cone beam CT is the foundation. Implant planning software requires 3D bone data that 2D imaging cannot provide. A mid-to-large volume CBCT field is preferred for implant centers doing full-arch cases, where visualizing the entire jaw in one scan saves time and allows same-day full-arch planning. Cone beam CT scanner financing covers the systems that implant centers use most, including Planmeca ProMax 3D, Dentsply Sirona Orthophos S, and Carestream CS 9600.
- Surgical implant motors: Precision torque-controlled motors with speed reduction handpieces are required for safe drilling and placement. Implant surgical motor financing covers the NSK Surgic Pro, Nobel OsseoSet, and comparable units. Some practices run two motors to handle simultaneous prep and placement in a full-arch team surgery.
- In-office 3D printing for surgical guides: Printing the surgical drill guide in-house the day of surgery eliminates guide lab turnaround time and adds flexibility when cases change. In-office 3D printer financing covers the dental resin printers from SprintRay, Formlabs, and others suited to surgical guide fabrication.
- Intraoral scanner: The digital impression for the final prosthetic is cleaner and faster than a physical impression on a fully healed implant. Scanners feed directly into the CAD workflow. Intraoral scanner financing covers the major scan systems used in implant workflows.
- In-house milling: For centers producing the final zirconia crown or full-arch bridge in-house, a five-axis mill is the last piece of the workflow. CAD/CAM milling unit financing applies to zirconia and PMMA milling for implant prosthetics.
Financing the Full Implant Workflow
Financing the Full Implant Workflow
Implant center equipment financing works best when the deal captures the full workflow stack in a single transaction. A bundled deal covering CBCT, surgical motor, 3D printer, and scanner produces a single payment, a single lender, and often better pricing than treating each piece as a separate deal.
For the CBCT alone, financing terms of 60 to 84 months are standard. A quality CBCT system -- Planmeca, Carestream, or Dentsply Sirona -- holds clinical and technical relevance for ten or more years. The long useful life justifies the longer term, which keeps the monthly payment manageable during the ramp-up period when the center is building case volume.
Implant centers that own their CBCT or surgical equipment outright can use a Sale-Leaseback Financing to unlock that equity and fund the next phase of the workflow -- adding the in-house mill, the 3D printer, or a second surgical suite. The practice sells the equipment at appraised value, receives the cash, and leases it back under a new payment. The clinical workflow is uninterrupted.
For no-money-down implant center financing, strong-credit established implant centers frequently qualify. Preserving cash at a center that is investing heavily in marketing for new implant cases makes more sense than tying it up in equipment down payments.
Implant center expansion to a second location uses practice acquisition financing if buying an existing location, or standard equipment financing if equipping a new lease space from scratch.
Speed and Approval Process for Implant Centers
Speed and Approval Process for Implant Centers
Implant equipment deals move at different speeds depending on deal size. For transactions under $400,000 at an established practice with two or more years of returns, application-only financing gets you an approval decision in 24 to 48 hours. Funded in one to two weeks from approval.
Full-arch implant centers doing larger deals -- a full suite buildout at $400,000 and above -- require a complete financial package. Two years of personal and business tax returns, three months of bank statements, current-year production numbers, and the equipment quote. These deals take two to four weeks from submission to funding.
The key to a fast approval is a clean application. Know your credit score before you apply, have your tax returns accessible, and provide a current equipment quote from the vendor. Gaps in documentation slow every lender down.

Questions
My implant center does full-arch same-day cases. Can we finance the entire workflow in one deal?
Yes. Bundling CBCT, surgical motor, 3D printer, intraoral scanner, and milling unit into a single transaction is exactly the kind of deal we structure. One lender, one rate, one payment. It typically produces better terms than separate deals for each piece because the total deal size justifies it.
Can I finance Nobel Biocare or Straumann implant kit inventory alongside the equipment?
Implant kit inventory is not equipment -- it is consumable supply. Equipment financing covers durable assets, not inventory. For implant kit purchasing, a working capital line of credit or a practice business line is the right vehicle. We can help you understand the distinction and route each need correctly.
I am adding guided surgery to an existing OMS practice. Do I need a separate entity for the implant center financing?
Not necessarily. Adding guided surgery equipment (3D printer, updated CBCT with planning software) to an existing OMS entity is a standard equipment deal under the existing practice. A separate entity is sometimes used for tax or liability planning, but it is a business decision, not a financing requirement.
My CBCT is three years old and paid off. Can I use it as collateral for a new surgical suite addition?
A paid-off CBCT that is within its useful life can be used in a sale-leaseback to generate cash. The lender appraises current market value on your specific model and year, advances a percentage of that value, and you lease it back. Proceeds fund whatever you need next.
What credit profile does an implant center need to get the best financing terms?
A personal credit score above 700, at least two years of established business history, and business bank statements showing consistent cash flow will land you in the best rate tier most lenders offer. Below 700 but above 650, you still get deals done -- the rate moves but the deal closes. Below 650, we work with B/C credit lenders who look at the full picture.
