Every word, if you would rather read it.

Buying into a practice, selling one, or dividing partners? Three things decide what the equipment is worth.

One. Practice value is not equipment value. The chairs, imaging, and instruments carry their own number, and transitions go smoother when it is documented.

Two. Support moves the number. Equipment that meets current standards holds value. Equipment that can no longer be serviced loses it fast.

Three. Condition is verified on site, unit by unit, serial by serial.
