DENTAL INSTRUMENTS AND SUPPLIES FOR START UP
This is a suggested list for a one dentist, dental clinic. The
list is divided into categories of equipment and supplies. Those
items listed should be able to take care of most operative,
preventive dentistry, endodontic, prosthodontic, and oral
surgical needs in a dental clinic. It should be noted that some
instruments are listed in multiple sections. Once you and the
dentist decide which services your clinic will offer you can
compile the equipment/supply list. Items can be substituted to
satisfy personal and professional needs of the dentist(s) that
will be working at your clinic. The purpose of this list is to
provide you a starting point, not to be “the list”.
