When you speak to any dentist worldwide and mention Belmont dental chairs, there is every chance they will smile and assure you these are their favourites. In October of 2021, the Takara Belmont Corporation, now an acknowledged brand leader in medical and dental equipment manufacture, celebrated its centenary. The company has gained an enviable reputation for innovation and reliability in its more than 45-year quest to develop unique products for dental practitioners.
The dental chair is more than just necessary dentist furniture; it is the heart of a modern dental practice and one of the biggest capital expenses for a dentist. As such, its design is crucial both to dentists and their patients. A dental chair from Belmont is undoubtedly the best choice when furnishing a new practice. However, whatever brand one may choose, the following factors should always be considered:
- Appearance: Aesthetics are not only a must for beauty salons and up-market hotels. The visual appeal of a dental practice and dental equipment can have a profound influence on patients’ perceptions and trust. The correct combination of colour and comfort will also help them relax. Belmont dental chairs offer a wide choice of relaxing colours and are noted for their comfortable, tailored, sewn or seamless upholstery.
- Durability: Once it is installed on a solid, level floor, a dental chair should have a heavy metal base to ensure it remains stable throughout the treatment procedure. Stability ensures patient safety and fewer concerns for the dentist. Given the growing incidence of obesity, using robust materials when constructing dental chairs has become more critical than ever.
- Ergonomics: A dentist’s typical working day could be a punishing experience without due consideration for the ergonomic aspects of dental chair design. Excessive stretching, bending or adopting awkward positions should not be necessary when treating patients, who should also not be subjected to such discomfort. All Belmont dental chairs are designed to prioritise both patient and practitioner comfort.
- Adjustability: Armrests, headrests, footrests, and chair height should be easily adjustable to ensure a personalised patient experience and ease of use. Ideally, one should also be able to control the speed of these adjustments to avoid alarming children and elderly or disabled patients.
- Technology: Integrating delivery systems and diagnostic aids with a dental chair provides a compact and convenient treatment ensemble. The Belmont range of dentist furniture includes models like the Eurus S1, the first of its products to feature a touch screen, which, in addition to its flexible lighting and integrated chair foot controls, enables the dentist to select treatment modes like endodontics, periodontics, and scaling with a single touch.
