Dental Practice Equipment ROI Calculator | CEREC, Scanner & CBCT Payback Spreadsheet | Excel Template

Considering an intraoral scanner, chairside mill, or CBCT for your practice? This calculator shows you the real payback timeline — same-day crown revenue and lab fees avoided, minus your financing cost — before you commit.

Enter your equipment price, financing terms, and expected same-day case volume. The sheet handles the rest: monthly loan payment, net cash flow, breakeven month, and 3-year return.

What's included:

- Fully automated Excel calculator

- 36-month cash flow projection

- Breakeven month calculation

- Editable — rerun as many scenarios as you want

Who it's for: Dentists and practice managers evaluating chairside equipment purchases.

This is a planning tool based on the inputs you provide. It is not financial, tax, or legal advice — consult a professional for decisions specific to your practice.

These figures are national averages pulled from industry pricing guides — actual equipment costs and case revenue vary meaningfully by region, brand, and lab size. Confirm current numbers with your own vendor quotes and local pricing before making a purchase decision.
