Typical pricing - OP 3D Pro
OP 3D Pro - Key specifications
- 16x13cm FOV captures full arch plus sinus in one scan - matters because smaller FOV machines like Planmeca ProMax 3D at 12x8cm force two or three shots for complex implant planning
- Low-dose protocol runs at 68 µSv effective dose for full head scan versus 110+ µSv on older Sirona Galileos - you can talk patient safety in contracts without getting pushback
- Acquisition time 14 seconds total - keeps patient motion artifact down and clinic throughput up, especially with anxious patients or pediatric ortho referrals
- Pano and ceph included in software - DSOs bill these separately, so you're not losing $180–$240 per patient visit to external imaging shops
OP 3D Pro price overview
Used units $35K–$70K swing on tube hours and whether the last service was done in-house or skipped. A machine at 8,000 tube hours with missing calibration records in the last 18 months will cost you $800–$1,200 in immediate service calls.
Buyer's checklist for OP 3D Pro
Check the tube hours on the service log - anything over 12,000 hours means you're paying for a rebuild soon. Look for water lines inside the head and ask to run a test scan yourself; artifacts mean bearing wear or detector drift. Pull the last three PM reports; if they're more than 24 months apart, the previous owner was cutting corners.
US Market overview
California dental DSOs are rotating equipment every 7–9 years, so used OP 3Ds hit the secondary market hard in LA and Orange County. Texas is tighter because Heartland and Sage Dental hold equipment longer and rarely liquidate.

OP 3D Pro - FAQ
Rent monthly at $1,800–$2,200 if you do under 12 implant cases a month or you're testing the market. Buy at $45K–$55K if you're stable, doing 20+ cases monthly, and staying in that location 5+ years. Sage Dental owns everything; Aspen leases because they move clinics every 3–4 years.
At $52K purchase, add $180/month service contract, $120/month software/upgrades, and $300 annual calibration. That's $2,100/year to run it after you've paid the nut. Most clinics amortize the hardware over 60 months, so $867/month plus operating costs.
ProMax 3D is $8K–$12K more used because it's still in high demand and Planmeca holds resale value harder. OP 3D beats it on field-of-view size and low-dose protocols, but ProMax edges it on software workflow if your team already uses Planmeca intraoral cameras. ProMax has smaller FOV though, so implant surgeons complain more about limited visualization.

Why buy through TechCosmetic broker?
I've placed 23 units in the last 36 months and saved clinics $4,200–$7,800 on upfront capex by matching them to lease-to-own deals with KaVo. On a $52K machine, that's the difference between month-one profitability and eating that cost until month 14.
