FAQs
What is the best dental chair for modern practices?
The best dental chair balances comfort, infection control, and digital integration. Look for ergonomic design, certified disinfection systems, and compatibility with imaging software. Anthos dental units, designed in Italy and distributed in Australia by Anthos Australia, are recognised worldwide for combining these features.
How much does a dental chair cost in Australia?
Quality European brands start around $20,000 for entry-level models, while premium chairs with integrated implantology or endodontic systems can exceed $70,000. Anthos units cover this full range, from versatile entry models to flagship systems like the Classe L9.
How do dental chairs keep patients comfortable?
Patient comfort comes from smooth, vibration-free movements, ergonomic backrests, and premium upholstery. Anthos chairs use Soft Motion technology, memory foam options, and customisable headrests to keep patients at ease during treatment.
Which dental chairs have the best infection control?
European (EC) infection-control standards are among the highest in the world. Anthos units cover all aspects of disinfection through automated systems such as W.H.E., BIOSTER, A.C.V.S., and S.H.S., ensuring safe and efficient hygiene workflows.
What’s the difference between entry-level and premium dental chairs?
Entry-level units cover essential features like ergonomic seating and handpiece support. Premium chairs integrate advanced features such as voice control, torque monitoring, imaging displays, and specialist implant or endodontic modules. Anthos models scale from the Classe A3 Plus (everyday use) to the Classe L9 (advanced surgical workflows).
Do dental chairs integrate with imaging systems?
Yes. Modern dental units are designed to integrate with most imaging systems. Anthos chairs work seamlessly with MyRay imaging, allowing X-rays and scans to be displayed directly on chairside touchscreens.
