Explore Planmeca financing and leasing for dental practices acquiring instruments and operatory support equipment. Plan the equipment package, installation budget and ownership approach before committing. Mehmi Financial Group reviews new and used equipment requests in Canada and eligible U.S. markets, subject to the asset, seller, business, location and lender requirements.
Define your Planmeca equipment request
Specify the actual treatment, imaging, digital production or support equipment in the proposed order. Itemize models, quantities, software and accessories rather than relying on the brand or dental-equipment label.
Check suitability, condition and installation
Have the supplier coordinate the full practice workflow, existing-system compatibility and installation requirements. Assign responsibility for site preparation, software integration, training and acceptance.
For used equipment, request condition, service and reprocessing information appropriate to the item. Check consumable availability, parts support and any refurbishment work claimed by the seller.
Budget for the complete acquisition
Budget for utility connections, maintenance, consumables, spare instruments and interruptions while work is completed. Make responsibility for installation and acceptance explicit.
BDC recommends budgeting acquisition extras such as delivery, installation and training alongside the equipment price. See BDC equipment financing guidance.
Compare the financing structure
A purchase loan and an equipment lease create different ownership and end-of-term obligations. Compare cash required upfront, all payments and fees, any final amount, early-exit terms and responsibility for maintenance. A lease does not automatically include a free upgrade or ownership transfer.
Use the equipment financing calculator for payment illustrations, then request a written proposal. Match the commitment to the period the equipment should remain useful and supported.

Quick answer: Planmeca financing is generally reviewed using the purchase price, exact configuration, age and condition, seller, installation requirements, expected useful life, business cash flow, credit profile and requested term. New and used medical or dental equipment may be considered, but final structure depends on the asset, transaction, lender and jurisdiction.

Questions about Planmeca financing
Can a complete dental practice package be reviewed?
Provide a room-by-room and machine-by-machine schedule with individual supplier quotes. Equipment, software, building work and supplies may receive different financing treatment.
Should consumables be treated like durable equipment?
Separate disposable supplies and recurring maintenance from the durable assets. Their useful life and eligibility differ, even when one vendor supplies the whole order.
How should a new-practice project differ from a replacement?
A new practice needs a complete equipment and opening budget, premises details and cash-flow plan. A replacement should identify the outgoing asset, any outstanding finance and the downtime or capacity issue being addressed.
