Dental Equipment Financing

Dental equipment financing for CBCT, CAD/CAM, chairs, and full operatory buildouts — startup practices and DSOs welcome. Representative example: a $150,000 operatory package runs about $2,8xx/month.*

Dental Equipment Financing

The Operatory package Reality

Clinical technology drives case acceptance and revenue per chair — but it competes with payroll and rent for the same dollars. We finance dental equipment on practice economics: step payments while chairs fill, technology-cycle terms with upgrade paths.

Built for This Asset

Structures priced by people who know what a operatory package earns and how it holds value — not a generic credit box.

Dental Practices Expertise

Part of our Dental Practices vertical: payment structures matched to how this industry's revenue actually arrives.

Backed by $1B

A $1B forward flow agreement with TPG gives Elevex institutional capital strength with entrepreneurial speed.

Payment Structures

The differentiation: four ways to own the same equipment, engineered to your cash flow. Compare them side by side on our structures page.

Operating Lease

Off-balance-sheet treatment with end-of-term flexibility — return, renew, or purchase. Often the right answer when technology cycles or accounting outcomes drive the decision.

$1 Buyout Lease

Own the equipment for one dollar at term end. Fixed payments, full Section 179 eligibility, and a clean path to ownership.

Seasonal & Step Payments

Payments that follow your revenue curve — lighter in slow months, heavier in peak season, or stepping up as new equipment ramps to full production.

Usage-Based & As-a-Service

Payments tied to hours, output, or consumption. The category Elevex is defining: pay for what equipment achieves, not what it costs.

How It Works

Three steps from quote to funded.

1 · Apply in Minutes

Application-only to $1,000,000 — no tax returns or financials below that threshold. Have your equipment quote, auction listing, or build spec ready.

2 · Structure Together

A finance professional (not a portal) walks the structure options — term, seasonality, end-of-term — and prices the deal to your cash flow.

3 · Fund in 24–48 Hours

Most transactions fund within 24–48 hours of signed documents. Your vendor gets paid; you get to work.

Common Questions

Can a dentist opening a first practice finance equipment?
Yes — startup dental practices are a defined program: doctor credit, associate production history, and a realistic buildout plan carry the underwriting, with step payments that stay light while the schedule fills.
What does a full operatory cost to finance?
A $150,000 operatory package over 72 months lands in the high-$2,000s monthly for strong credits before any step structure. CBCT or CAD/CAM alone runs proportionally less. Apply for practice-specific numbers.
Can I finance a used operatory package?
Yes — used operatory package financing is standard business, whether the unit comes from a dealer, an auction, or a private seller. We value working assets on condition and remaining service life, not a blanket age cutoff, and set terms the equipment can actually support.
Does a operatory package qualify for Section 179?
Most business-use equipment placed in service this tax year qualifies for Section 179 expensing, financed or purchased outright — often meaning the first-year deduction outruns your first-year payments. Run your numbers on our Section 179 calculator and confirm specifics with your tax advisor.
How fast can dental equipment financing close?
Application-only decisions to $1,000,000 come back in minutes for qualified credits, and most deals fund within 24–48 hours of signed documents. Apply online with your quote to start.
