Dental Equipment Custom Cabinetry Advantages * Depending on builder, may be less expensive than purchased cabinets * Unlimited choice of colors and finish materials * Doctor can be actively involved in design process and can monitor progress of job Disadvantages * May not be aseptically designed, and may not withstand long-term hard use * Difficult to move * Built-in cabinets are considered leasehold improvements, not capital equipment, so they are not tax deductible * As leasehold improvements, these cabinets usually become a permanent part of the building and cannot be removed if the doctor relocates * Limited resale value * Specialty materials can greatly increase cost * Smaller shops may have trouble meeting deadlines if job is delayed by problems in production or obtaining materials * May not support cantilevered delivery units, the weight and extension of intra-oral X-ray units, or other dental equipment that requires anchoring to cabinetry * Custom cabinets may not necessarily be built in a modular style, and may not allow for easy future expansion or modification General Office: Essential These are not dental-specific items, simply reminder lists for your consideration.
