Planmeca Viso CBCT Financing

Chair production rises when your diagnostic workflow stays in-house, and the Planmeca Viso is designed to do exactly that. The Viso family (Viso G5, G7, G13, and G17) represents Planmeca's flagship CBCT line, engineered around the Ultra Low Dose imaging protocol that the company developed to reduce patient radiation exposure without sacrificing diagnostic image quality. The G5 and G7 are sized for general and implant practices. The G13 and G17 serve oral surgery, orthodontic, and multi-specialty environments where large-volume skull imaging matters.

These are not entry-level imaging units. A Planmeca Viso G7 starts well above $80,000, and fully configured G13 or G17 systems can exceed $150,000 when software modules and installation are included. That puts the Viso squarely in our core financing range. We finance Viso units for new practices, established offices, and multi-location groups, with flexible terms and a streamlined process that does not require months of back-and-forth to reach a decision.

The Viso Family: What Each Model Covers

Planmeca built the Viso line around a motorized patient positioning system and an extendable FOV concept. The patient support and chin rest assembly automatically adjusts to the selected field of view, which reduces positioning errors and repeat exposures. The Ultra Low Dose protocol uses SmartPan dose optimization to reduce the radiation dose on routine CBCT captures to levels the company compares favorably against conventional panoramic x-ray doses on certain scan modes.

From a clinical standpoint, the capability split across the family looks like this:

• Viso G5: 5x5 cm to 13x15 cm FOV, suited for implant planning and endodontic cases
• Viso G7: extends to 16x17 cm, practical for most general and implant-focused practices
• Viso G13: reaches 23x26 cm, opens airway, ortho, and ENT-integrated workflows
• Viso G17: the largest model in the line, maxillofacial and hospital-adjacent use cases

All models integrate with Planmeca Romexis, which handles implant planning, ceph analysis, and 3D facial photo overlay when equipped with the optional photo module. For practices that are building out a full digital workflow around the scanner, the digital workflow system financing page covers how we bundle multiple components into a single financed package.

Practices evaluating the broader CBCT category before committing to a Viso should read our CBCT and 3D imaging financing guide for a category-level overview. The Planmeca financing overview walks through all models Planmeca makes, including the ProMax 3D and the Emerald S intraoral scanner.

New Viso vs. Pre-Owned or Refurbished Options

A brand-new Viso ships with current Romexis software, full Planmeca warranty, and the latest sensor generation. For practices that want the manufacturer's support infrastructure and full software update eligibility, new is the cleaner path. Financing a new unit also tends to produce the most predictable payment schedules because the depreciation curve is well-established.

Pre-owned Viso units do appear on the refurbished market, and we finance qualified used equipment from authorized refurbishers when the condition documentation and remaining warranty status check out. The payment difference between a new and a certified pre-owned Viso can be meaningful at the monthly level. If the used equipment route interests you, our used equipment financing page explains what documentation we need to underwrite a used imaging unit and what condition standards we require.

For practices that already own a Viso purchased with cash or through a paid-off loan, a sale-leaseback transaction can recover a portion of that capital and redeploy it into operatory buildouts, staffing, or other growth priorities.

Practices That Invest in the Viso Line

Orthodontic practices were among the early adopters of the Viso G13 and G17 because cephalometric analysis paired with 3D CBCT data changes how treatment planning works. Instead of a flat film ceph, a 3D digital ceph gives the orthodontist volumetric airway data, root torque visibility, and a planning environment that integrates with aligner workflows. Practices serving orthodontic patients who are considering clear aligner technology alongside traditional brackets find the Viso G13 in particular a strong fit.

Oral surgeons and implant surgeons who handle complex multi-implant cases, bone grafting, and surgical guide fabrication also specify the Viso frequently. The large FOV on the G13 and G17 gives the surgeon a full view of bone volume, nerve positioning, and sinus anatomy in a single acquisition. Practices that have built an implant surgery program from scratch and want to understand how the imaging investment fits the overall financing picture can start on our dental implant center financing page.

What We Need to Get Started

For a Planmeca Viso deal under approximately $400,000, the application-only process applies. That means we collect a completed credit application, three months of business bank statements, and the equipment quote from your Planmeca dealer. We do not need tax returns or a full financial package to issue a term sheet. Credit decisions typically come back within one to three business days on complete submissions.

B and C credit profiles are considered. The structure may look different from a prime-credit deal, typically a slightly higher rate or a shorter maximum term, but the goal is to get the equipment financed rather than turn away practices that have had credit challenges in the past. Startups and practices under two years old can apply under our startup practice financing program, which uses different underwriting benchmarks than the standard application.
