			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.dentalplanet.com/"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-8124" title="savings" src="http://www.dentalplanet.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/savings-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a>In our modern day economy, owning a business or practice can be very costly. Being able to take advantage of savings as well as cut costs in the right areas is vital. In 2011, more and more dentists are now looking into buying quality used dental equipment. Purchasing <a href="http://buydentalequipment.com/sell_your_equipment">refurbished or used dental equipment</a> could mean significant monetary savings. In fact, purchasing used dental equipment can save dentists up to 50% off the cost of new equipment. By cutting out the middle man and purchasing directly from the supplier, extra fees and higher prices can be eliminated. This money saved by dentists can be put back into their practice in other ways. Saving $100,000 now has proven to mean as much as $1,500,000 for dentists at retirement.</p>
<p>The time to buy <a href="http://buydentalequipment.com">used dental equipment</a> is now. There are currently many options in refurbished dental equipment providers. This allows dentists to find the best quality equipment at the lowest possible prices. However, there are a few important factors to keep in mind when purchasing refurbished dental equipment.  It is important to select a company that has experience as well as one which provides you with a comfort level through their knowledge of equipment and the industry. Choose a <a href="http://buydentalequipment.com">company </a>and an equipment specialist that have your best interests in mind and are not primarily focused on how much equipment they can sell and make commissions on, but rather how the choices best fit into your budget and the function of your office. It’s also important to align yourself with a company that uses industry specific specialists in the design, construction, digital integration, and practice management areas. Be sure to purchase used dental equipment from a company which can provide warranty options. There are used dental equipment suppliers which carry a full one-year warranty on all parts. Several of these companies offer extended warranties as well. By purchasing quality refurbished and used equipment with longevity, the savings can be huge.</p>
<p>There are several benefits of buying <a href="http://www.dentalplanet.com/">refurbished dental equipment</a>. Besides the lower cost of equipment and the chance to build a practice with quality products, purchasing from select refurbishing companies can save you money on the delivery and installation aspect as well. Certain providers offer delivery and installation in all 50 states. You can also find refurbished equipment providers that will allow you to speak with a real person whenever you call their company. Being able to find your equipment, service providers, installation and delivery team all in one place can save you not only money but time as well.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.dentalplanet.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/d2b5c7d1a49c76d1a70362e13dfa1971.image_.220x228.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-8128" title="d2b5c7d1a49c76d1a70362e13dfa1971.image.220x228" src="http://www.dentalplanet.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/d2b5c7d1a49c76d1a70362e13dfa1971.image_.220x228.jpg" alt="" width="220" height="228" /></a>By finding a <a href="http://buydentalequipment.com">company </a>which believes that quality, affordability and a strong commitment to customer care is paramount, you can save thousands of dollars and help to prepare for your future.  <a href="http://buydentalequipment.com">Refurbished dental equipment</a> does not merely include dental chairs, dental sterilizers and dental operatories. It can include digital products (such as X-ray equipment), cabinetry, and so much more! Whether you are opening a practice for the first time or simply need to update the look of your existing one, finding refurbishing and dental equipment companies that focus on used equipment can make a huge difference in the money you save. Certain companies will even<a href="http://buydentalequipment.com/sell_your_equipment"> buy, sell and trade </a>for your own used dental equipment in any condition (working or not). Most importantly, it’s your office. Select the equipment you like and that fits your budget.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>by  Dr. Woody Oakes</p>
<p>Purchasing equipment can be both confusing and expensive. There are numerous choices and companies to choose from. Then, there are gadgets, upgrades and options that can easily raise a new office price to upwards of $80,000 per operatory. As I wrote in <em>Buyer Beware</em>, “one poor decision can drastically change your future.” Well then, the other side of that coin is– one GOOD decision can drastically change your future. Actually, it can save you over $1.5 million. More on this in a minute.</p>
<p>Let me tell you about a recent partnership of ours which I believe will successfully transition your equipment buying process into a money saving and stress-free experience while offering the best in choice and benefits. Whether you are expanding your office to improve services, building a new office or replacing equipment, our exclusive equipment partner will save you a substantial amount of money. I’ll explain further–<br />
BuyDentalEquipment.com offers quality refurbished equipment as well as affordably priced new equipment with cost savings of up to 40% or more. You also save an additional 5% over all of their regularly advertised pricing as a Profitable Dentist subscriber. They sell direct through their team of equipment specialists thus saving you significantly. Their refurbishment process is extensive, ensuring the highest working standards today and in the years to come. Every piece of refurbished equipment they sell is backed by a full one-year warranty on parts.  They also provide delivery and installation to all 50 states, by their highly qualified team. Do you see the value here?</p>
<p>Building a new office or renovating/updating an existing office? BuyDentalEquipment.com will be with you every step of the way. They offer new office floor space/design services and full construction drawings by professional architects, well-versed in dental design.  This is a must if you want to maximize your space to work efficiently and comply with plumbing, wiring and radiographic guidelines. These services are at no charge when offset by your equipment purchase.  But that’s not all–<br />
They have a sister company. BuyDentalCabinets.com offers custom cabinetry for all your operatory, sterilization, lab, or reception cabinets. The quality is second to none, and all are backed by a 5-year warranty. These savings can be in excess of over 50% compared to many major manufacturers. The 5% subscriber savings applies here too.</p>
<p>Can you see why this partnership is a no-brainer? It’s about profits – It’s about “not how much you make, but how much you keep” –  It’s about a future retirement.</p>
<p>Ok, earlier I mentioned a previous article, &lt;em&gt;Buyer Beware&lt;/em&gt;, and how one good decision could save you over $1,500,000. Let me tell you how this is possible. Just this week, BuyDentalEquipment.com gave me an example of a comparison bid they did for a customer in the northeast. This customer was about to construct a new, 3-operatory office. They already had a bid of $235,000. BuyDentalEquipment.com was able to bid all new cabinetry and new and refurbished equipment to the Dr for a total, installed price of $116,000.  So lets just say you take a $100,000 of that savings and invest it at 30 years at 10% interest. The Results?  $1,744,940 for your nest egg. So, the decision is yours, new, high end, expensive equipment with all the gadgets and bells and whistles, or a nice view of the Caribbean ocean from your Villa in The Caymans? I’ll take the View.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The &#8216;Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act&#8217; of 2010 has recently extended the enhanced Section 179 deductions of 2008 / 2009 into 2010. Congress has also extended the amount that small business may write-off for capital expenditures. This means that businesses can now write-off up to $250,000 of qualified dental equipment and dental management software during the 2010 tax year! <a href="http://www.dentalplanet.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Check.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-3761" title="Check" src="http://www.dentalplanet.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Check.jpg" alt="" width="220" height="147" /></a></p>
<p>The HIRE act extends &#8220;section 179&#8243; expensing, a provision that lets businesses deduct as an expense the costs of some property purchases such as vehicles, machinery and computers. Previously, business could write off up to $125,000 in spending on such goods. In 2008, Congress temporarily increased that amount to $250,000. In 2009 the new stimulus extended that higher limit through the 2009 year. Recently, the HIRE act has extended this limit through the 2010 tax year. The provision is aimed at small companies: The deduction is phased out for businesses that spend more than $800,000 on capital expenditures for the year.</p>
<p>The Section 179 deduction, which allows businesses to deduct upfront rather than depreciate over time the costs of certain kinds of equipment, has nearly doubled, rising to $250,000. The bonus depreciation provision allows businesses to depreciate 50% of the cost of equipment, with the balance to be depreciated according to IRS rules. <strong>This Means Huge Tax Savings for You.</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong>You can receive the full $250,000 deduction for purchases up to $800,000. After that, the deduction decreases $1 for each dollar over $800,000. <strong>How can you take advantage of these huge savings? </strong>By getting your orders in early. Any unused portion of the $250,000 is lost opportunity to lower your taxes.</p>
<p>The time is now to save big! Call us today to learn how your practice can benefit from the Economic Stimulus Act. 1-866-815-7606 or <a href="http://buydentalequipment.com/tax_info">click here</a>.

<p>In this article, Dr. Savage discusses these 3 Key Tips for maintaining a financially healthy dental practice:</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #863a29; font-weight: bold;">Determine the Health of Your Accounts Receivables</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #863a29; font-weight: bold;">Develop Your Financial Guidelines</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #863a29; font-weight: bold;">Criteria for Financial Options<br />
<span id="more-79"></span></span></li>
</ul>
<p><em>from dentalblogs.com </em></p>
<p>In this month’s dentaltown.com print edition, <em>DentalBlogs</em> contributor and “great mind” Dr. Rhonda Savage shares her insight into what makes dentists’ financial policies successful. Her practical advice and tips can help you develop a great financial policy that will “keep your patients coming back.”</p>
<p>Dr. Savage recommends that the doctor get and stay involved in the accounting of his or her office. The dentist should manage the practice effectively and know which employee to speak with about any patient or issue. This management structure, according to Dr. Savage, will reduce stress and promote professionalism and accountability.</p>
<p>Another important issue is your financial guidelines. Dr. Savage points out topics and ideas you may not have yet considered in regards to developing or revising your current financial policy. Patients should understand your policy, as should employees, and the doctor/manager should not make exceptions that overrule an employee’s effort to carry out the set guidelines.</p>
<p>In this economy, you should offer financial options – pay by credit card, third party financing, or set up a phased treatment plan. Dr Savage suggests you consider your policies regarding lab work fees, insurance copays, and cash courtesy discount.</p>

<p>Purchasing equipment can be both confusing and expensive. There are numerous choices and companies to choose from. Then, there are gadgets, upgrades and options that can easily raise a new office price to upwards of $80,000 per operatory. As I wrote in <em>Buyer Beware</em>, “one poor decision can drastically change your future.” Well then, the other side of that coin is&#8211; one GOOD decision can drastically change your future. Actually, it can save you over $1.5 million. More on this in a minute.</p>
<p>Let me tell you about a recent partnership of ours which I believe will successfully transition your equipment buying process into a money saving and stress-free experience while offering the best in choice and benefits. Whether you are expanding your office to improve services, building a new office or replacing equipment, our exclusive equipment partner will save you a substantial amount of money. I’ll explain further&#8211;<span id="more-7"></span><br />
BuyDentalEquipment.com offers quality refurbished equipment as well as affordably priced new equipment with cost savings of up to 40% or more. You also save an additional 5% over all of their regularly advertised pricing as a Profitable Dentist subscriber. They sell direct through their team of equipment specialists thus saving you significantly. Their refurbishment process is extensive, ensuring the highest working standards today and in the years to come. Every piece of refurbished equipment they sell is backed by a full one-year warranty on parts.  They also provide delivery and installation to all 50 states, by their highly qualified team. Do you see the value here?</p>
<p>Building a new office or renovating/updating an existing office? BuyDentalEquipment.com will be with you every step of the way. They offer new office floor space/design services and full construction drawings by professional architects, well-versed in dental design.  This is a must if you want to maximize your space to work efficiently and comply with plumbing, wiring and radiographic guidelines. These services are at no charge when offset by your equipment purchase.  But that’s not all&#8211;<br />
They have a sister company. BuyDentalCabinets.com offers custom cabinetry for all your operatory, sterilization, lab, or reception cabinets. The quality is second to none, and all are backed by a 5-year warranty. These savings can be in excess of over 50% compared to many major manufacturers. The 5% subscriber savings applies here too.</p>
<p>Can you see why this partnership is a no-brainer? It’s about profits – It’s about “not how much you make, but how much you keep” –  It’s about a future retirement.</p>
<p>Ok, earlier I mentioned a previous article, &lt;em&gt;Buyer Beware&lt;/em&gt;, and how one good decision could save you over $1,500,000. Let me tell you how this is possible. Just this week, BuyDentalEquipment.com gave me an example of a comparison bid they did for a customer in the northeast. This customer was about to construct a new, 3-operatory office. They already had a bid of $235,000. BuyDentalEquipment.com was able to bid all new cabinetry and new and refurbished equipment to the Dr for a total, installed price of $116,000.  So lets just say you take a $100,000 of that savings and invest it at 30 years at 10% interest. The Results?  $1,744,940 for your nest egg. So, the decision is yours, new, high end, expensive equipment with all the gadgets and bells and whistles, or a nice view of the Caribbean ocean from your Villa in The Caymans? I’ll take the View.</p>
