Dental Chair
The dental chair is, in effect, the centre-piece of your surgery - the first thing the patient will notice when walking into the room. The chair needs to be inviting, to look and feel safe and comfortable and, as a bonus, look like a piece of art and not just a plain dental chair. Working with the chair should not be a constant battle, more an extension of your team, whose role is to make your working day easier and more pleasant.
Planmeca chairs are state-of-the-art and look far more aesthetically pleasing than all other chairs in the market today.
Well we would say that wouldn’t we? But don’t just take our word for it, Dr Dentith, of Durham City Smiles, opted for Planmeca dental chairs when opening a new surgery.

I opted for Planmeca chairs because I have used them before and I found them to be superior to any dental chair I had used in 25 years of practice, so when we were looking to set up a new practice, it was obvious we would choose Plandent

Planmeca’s newest and flagship dental chair is the Sovereign. It has been designed to be highly flexible to enable you to build the unit of your dreams and to your own specification and budget.
The Planmeca Sovereign is the ultimate unit for left handers, who often have trouble finding a dental system that they can work in harmony with. The automated movements promote enjoyable and efficient workflow and allow the dentist and assistant to change their working positions according to the operation to be performed. So, unlike rival models, there is absolutely no need to maintain the same static posture throughout the day.
The superior functionality of the Planmeca Sovereign is unique in the sense that not only does it surpass all your expectations of the perfect working partner, the sophisticated design looks incredibly modern and is like a working piece of art. Time and time again, Sovereign users comment on how comfortable and relaxed the chair makes their patients feel as the visco elastic Ultra upholstery offers a sublime level of comfort. Dr K Silver describes his experience.

I was really excited when I heard that the Sovereign could fulfil my criteria. It will switch from left to right in 30 seconds and is a sophisticated state-of-the-art unit with reflects the type of care I want to offer my patients. My patients have been very impressed by the equipment and especially the comfort of the chair. The equipment is beautifully simple to operate from the touch screen control pod. I am more than delighted with its performance.

For me Planmeca stands for quality and aesthetics and the Planmeca Sovereign dental unit fully embodies these values. In my opinion, Planmeca Sovereign could even be compared to high-end German cars that are known for their superior quality and exclusive comfort

If you have a small and restrictive area for decontamination and you think it is simply not a workable space, why not give us a call?
With correct planning developed over years of experience, almost any space can be made into an efficient and legal decontamination area.
We recently fitted a fully integrated and efficient decontamination room measuring just 2 metres x 1.5 metres. Within it we fitted a new ‘dirty to clean’ working area, 2 sinks, a put-down area for dirty instruments, a processing worktop, handwash station with electric taps, an autoclave and a below bench washer disinfector.
