Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How much does a dental compressor cost?
When you shop for a dental compressor at DuraPro Health, the average cost ranges from less than $1,000 to more than $9,000. The range varies depending on the type of compressor and whether it’s a new or refurbished model. In general, an oil-free compressor is going to be less expensive than one that uses oil. However, the choice may depend on equipment size since lubricated models are necessary to power large dental equipment.
How long do dental air compressors last?
Considering that a compressor is going to be used on a regular basis in a dental environment, a compressor typically lasts between 10 and 15 years. This estimate assumes that the compressor is going to be serviced during its use.
How do you maintain an air compressor?
To ensure a compressor remains in good running condition, it should be inspected every two years. This time frame allows technical issues to be found and serviced before they become bigger problems, such as causing the compressor to overheat. Compressors overheat for a number of reasons, including:
- Poor ventilation or placement near a heat source.
- Dirt buildup inside the dental compressor.
- The compressor isn’t taking in enough air.
- Worn-out head gaskets and/or valves.
How does an air compressor connect to a dental unit?
Connect the hose to the regulator valve. Plug the dental tool into the compressor. Plug the compressor into a power source, then let the unit’s tank reach full pressure. Adjust the pressure to the desired level.
