ProMax 3D Plus - Key specifications
- 23×26 cm FOV captures full dental arches plus airway - that's the sweet spot. Smaller FOVs force second scans; larger ones eat patient dose. This one balances both.
- Cephalometric mode built in. Saves $8k–$12k vs. buying separate ceph unit. Aspen Dental runs this hard - ortho cases, sleep apnea workups.
- 3D imaging at 0.2 mm voxel (at highest setting). Implant planning surgeons actually trust it. Android units drop to 0.3 mm, which softens detail around bone density.
- Panoramic + lateral capabilities. Not all CBCTs do both. You're replacing two machines minimum, which moves the ROI math for buyers fast.
ProMax 3D Plus price overview
A unit with <5,000 tube hours and full service records hits $75k–$85k. Push past 8,000 hours or missing maintenance logs? Expect $40k–$55k, and buyers will ask for a detector refurb ($6,500–$9,200) before closing.
Buyer's checklist for ProMax 3D Plus
Pop the gantry cover - check the detector window for dust or hairline cracks (kills the unit). Run a test image yourself; look for ring artifacts or brightness drift across the image. Pull the service log: if there's a gap >18 months without calibration, the tube voltage drifts and you've got a $4k recalibration ahead.
US Market overview
California and Texas are printing money for used CBCT right now - DSOs expanding faster than supply. Western Dental and Sage Dental are both opening new locations and buying used over new to preserve cash.

ProMax 3D Plus - FAQ
Hours. A ProMax from 2015 with 4,200 tube hours beats a 2019 with 9,800 hours every time. Tube lifespan is typically 10,000–15,000 hours before output degrades. A 2015 unit is fine if the hours are low.
Only if it's actually failing. A replacement costs $6,500–$9,200 and only adds $8k–$12k to your asking price. If the detector passes QA testing, leave it alone and pass the savings to the buyer - they'll move faster.
You'll lose $12k–$18k instantly because buyers add a recalibration and calibration check ($4k–$5k) to their offer. Get it serviced now - costs $1,200–$2,000 and you'll net that back in 72 hours.

Why buy through TechCosmetic broker?
I cut 3–4 weeks off sale cycles by pulling full tube hour logs and prior service dates upfront. Buyers run comps in 48 hours when documentation is clean; without it, you're fielding lowball offers for the next 2 months.
