New opportunities for dental practices with Stand-alone Chairs, growing in popularity in the dental and aesthetic markets. They represent an innovative choice for professionals looking to optimize space, increase efficiency and provide a better patient experience. This trend has been accelerated by evolving market demands for both design and functionality. As a result, stand-alone chairs, such as those offered by Tecnodent – and Tecnocare for the aesthetic and medical field , are emerging as an ideal solution.
1. A design that reassures patients and adapts to new spaces
One of the main problems in dentistry is patient discomfort, especially for those with dental phobia, who often experience anxiety at the sight of dental instruments. The stand-alone dental chair offers a solution to this problem. With its clean and minimalist design, it becomes the central element of the operating area, allowing instruments to be brought closer only after the patient is comfortably seated. This reassuring approach creates a more welcoming environment, improving the patient experience and reducing patient discomfort.
2. Ease of access and comfort for all patients
Another advantage of stand-alone chairs is their accessibility. Tecnodent chairs, in particular, are designed according to strict ergonomic criteria, making them comfortable and accessible for all types of patients, including those with limited mobility, children and the elderly. Chairs such as LINDA EVO and LINDA NEXT, also available in medical / aesthetic set-ups under the Tecnocare brand, feature a “knee-break” design that ensures optimal comfort for both the patient and the operator. They offer easier sitting and are ideal for a wide range of dental and aesthetic treatments.
3. Plug & play solutions for maximum efficiency
Stand-alone chairs are known for their ease of installation and maintenance. They are plug & play solutions that require only an electrical connection to operate, significantly reducing installation costs and minimizing downtime in the practice when maintenance is needed. Some models also include an emergency battery, useful in case of power outages, further improving service continuity.
4. A more hygienic and flexible environment
Following the pandemic, there has been an increased focus on hygiene and safety in medical and dental practices. In the dental field, stand-alone chairs align with the trend of moving away from spittoons and fixed equipment, promoting a more streamlined and easy-to-sanitize environment. This separation of dental instruments from the seating area also helps reduce the risk of cross-contamination and maintain high hygiene standards.
5. Multitasking and space optimization
Stand-alone chairs are ideal for creating multitasking stations, suitable for a variety of treatments such as initial consultations, intraoral scans, digital photography, hygiene, and whitening, as well as aesthetic medicine. This versatility allows for optimal use of practice space and prevents the dental unit from being tied up with non-dental-specific activities. Tecnodent chairs, combined with accessories like ceiling lights, carts, and independent suction systems, represent the perfect choice for those seeking an efficient and customizable operative environment.
6. High profitability opportunities with aesthetic medicine
An aspect not to be overlooked regarding stand-alone chairs is the return on investment (ROI). Integrating aesthetic medicine treatments into dental practices, such as Botox, fillers, and biorevitalization, presents a significant growth opportunity. Stand-alone chairs enable practices to offer these highly profitable services without occupying the traditional dental unit, requiring only a relatively small investment. Moreover, considering the average market prices for aesthetic treatments, the investment in a stand-alone chair can be quickly recouped with just a few treatments.
In conclusion… when to choose a Stand-Alone chair?
In a context where flexibility, hygiene, and operational efficiency are essential, stand-alone chairs represent a strategic choice for dentists who wish to stand out or optimize the space and treatments they offer. Tecnodent, along with the Tecnocare brand dedicated to the medical field, offers a wide range of customizable solutions, enabling dental practices to adapt to new market trends, enhance the patient experience, and expand treatment opportunities.
