Dental chairs are at the center of every patient interaction, providing the foundation for both comfort and care. They’re not just equipment—they’re essential to your practice’s daily operations. When a chair breaks down, it doesn’t just disrupt your schedule—it impacts patient experience and revenue.
That’s where Tekagogo comes in.

But repairs aren’t the only way to keep your chairs in peak condition. Daily maintenance plays a crucial role in extending their lifespan and preventing costly issues before they arise. By incorporating a few simple habits into your routine, you can protect your investment and reduce the need for unexpected repairs.
1. Clean and Inspect Your Dental Chairs Daily
Daily cleaning is how you keep your dental chairs in top condition. This kind of intentional, routine care prevents the buildup of debris, stains, and wear on the upholstery, ensuring your chairs remain hygienic and professional-looking for every patient. Use manufacturer-recommended cleaning products to gently sanitize the surfaces without causing damage.
In addition to cleaning, make daily visual inspections part of your routine. Check for small issues like upholstery tears, loose screws, or wear on moving parts. Catching minor problems early can prevent them from escalating into more significant, costly repairs. A few minutes of daily attention can save your practice from unnecessary downtime.
2. Follow Manufacturer Guidelines for Maintenance
Following the manufacturer’s guidelines is a necessity, not a suggestion. Using approved cleaning products and following recommended maintenance procedures ensures your chairs stay in optimal condition without risking damage to sensitive components.
Ignoring these recommendations can lead to serious consequences. Unapproved cleaning solutions can void warranties, leaving you unprotected in the event of a breakdown. Worse, improper maintenance can cause premature equipment failure, costing your practice both time and money. Sticking to manufacturer instructions safeguards your investment and keeps your chairs running the way they should for years to come.
3. Keep Moving Parts Well-Lubricated
The moving parts of your dental chairs—like hydraulics, foot pedals, and armrests—experience constant use. Over time, this wear can lead to stiffness, increased friction, and even mechanical failure if not properly maintained. Regular lubrication is essential to keeping these components functioning smoothly and extending their lifespan.
By incorporating this step into your maintenance routine, you reduce wear and tear, improve performance, and prevent costly repairs caused by neglected parts.
4. Track Repair History
Having a clear view of your dental chair’s repair history helps you stay ahead of potential issues. Tracking service history allows you to spot patterns and identify recurring problems early.
For example, if a dental chair has required servicing three times in the past six months for the same recurring issue, it may indicate that a larger problem is at play—or that the chair is nearing the end of its lifespan. With Tekagogo’s asset management system, you can identify these patterns early, monitor the trends, and decide whether a repair or a replacement is the more cost-effective solution.
This level of visibility ensures every piece of equipment is properly maintained. Tekagogo’s platform empowers you to stay proactive, make smarter maintenance decisions, and ultimately reduce the risk of costly, unexpected breakdowns.
5. Check for Electrical Safety Issues
Electrical components power everything on your dental chairs, from adjustments to essential features like lights and controls. Over time, cables, power connections, and wiring can wear down or become damaged, posing safety risks.
Regularly inspect electrical components for signs of wear, loose connections, or frayed wiring. Identifying and addressing these issues early helps prevent hazards and ensures uninterrupted functionality.
6. Replace Worn Components Before They Fail
Over time, components like upholstery, armrests, foot pedals, and controls experience wear and tear from daily use. While they may seem like minor issues, ignoring these worn parts can lead to bigger, more expensive problems down the line, such as structural damage.
Proactively replacing these components before they fail not only prevents costly repairs but also ensures a professional and comfortable experience for your patients.
Maintaining your dental chairs might feel like a complex process, but Tekagogo simplifies it with solutions designed to address every repair need.
