Dental Office Loans in Richmond, KY for a Chairside Mill, a Panoramic X-ray Unit and Intraoral Cameras

Illustration only, invented figures: a Richmond, KY general dentistry office is quoted $58,900.00 for a chairside milling unit with its sintering furnace and $6,400.00 for the design software license, $65,300.00 in all.

Put on one equipment financing schedule at a 9.7% annual rate for 60 months, the package comes to an invented $1,377.81 a month. The 60 payments total $82,668.60 in this invented case, which makes $17,368.60 of interest.

A software license has little resale value next to the mill, so a partner may finance it with the mill, put it on a shorter term or leave it to the practice. When the mill and the software come from different vendors, a term loan can carry both quotes on one schedule.

Illustration only, invented figures: a Madison County, KY dental office replaces an older panoramic unit with a digital one at $36,750.00, delivered and calibrated.

Spread across 60 months of equipment financing at a 10.05% annual rate, the unit costs an invented $781.73 a month; that is $46,903.80 by the last invented payment, with $10,153.80 going to interest.

A panoramic unit may need its own electrical circuit, anchoring to a wall or the floor and, depending on the room, shielding. That hookup and any change to the room are property work outside this site, so the request covers the unit, its software and its calibration, and the electrician's bill is paid outside it.

Illustration only, invented figures: a Richmond, KY dental office needs a handheld X-ray unit at $7,250.00 and four intraoral cameras at $3,180.00 each, $12,720.00 for the cameras and $19,970.00 for everything.

In this invented example the two separate schedules total $23,535.72, which is $1,919.16 less than the single 48-month schedule. The price of that invented saving is cash in the first two years, $768.04 a month on the two schedules against $530.31 on one.

After month 24 the invented X-ray unit is paid off and only the $425.23 camera payment runs to month 36, while the single schedule keeps going to month 48.
