Why Choose Tekagogo’s Preventative Maintenance Program for Dental Equipment?
If you don’t schedule time for maintenance, your equipment will schedule it for you. In fact, a USA Dental Devices Market Report highlights the increasing need for reliable, well-maintained equipment to meet the industry’s evolving demands. Tekagogo’s Preventative Maintenance Program helps you stay several steps ahead, keeping your equipment in peak condition and preventing critical breakdowns before they happen.
Whether you’re an independent practitioner or overseeing multiple locations, our program offers tailored solutions that ensure your equipment remains reliable, so you can focus on what matters most: your patients.
Address Issues Before They Become Major Problems
A small issue left unchecked can quickly turn into a major, costly problem. That’s why Tekagogo’s Preventative Maintenance Program is designed to identify and resolve potential equipment concerns before they escalate.
Ensure Optimal Performance and Safety
The performance and safety of your dental equipment directly affect the quality of care you deliver as a dentist. Routine maintenance ensures everything is functioning at peak efficiency, helping you maintain a safe environment for both your staff and patients.
Save Time, Cut Costs, and Reduce Stress
Unplanned repairs can be a hassle. With Tekagogo’s Preventative Maintenance Program, you can plan ahead and schedule routine visits at your convenience. This proactive approach minimizes surprise repairs, saving you time and cutting down on unnecessary costs. Plus, with discounted rates for program members, you’ll benefit from ongoing savings while keeping your equipment in top working order.
Key Features of Tekagogo’s Preventative Maintenance Program
Our program is more than basic upkeep: it’s a comprehensive service designed to streamline your practice’s operations.
Periodic Maintenance Options
One of the key benefits of the program is the flexibility to choose a maintenance schedule that works best for your practice. Whether you prefer semiannual checkups or quarterly checkups, Tekagogo allows you to select the frequency that fits your equipment needs.
Asset Management and Inventory in the Cloud
Another standout feature of Tekagogo’s Preventative Maintenance Program is the ability to store and manage your equipment data in the cloud, where it remains accessible in perpetuity. This means you can easily track the full maintenance history of your equipment, helping you spot patterns and identify potential issues before they become major problems.
Whether you’re a DSO managing multiple locations or an individual practice, having instant access to your equipment’s service history allows you to make informed decisions about repairs, replacements, and future maintenance. This level of visibility and control helps you stay proactive, extending the life of your equipment and avoiding unanticipated costs.
For example, imagine you have a sterilizer that’s been in use for eight years. Over the past two years, it’s been repaired five times, and each time the issue becomes more frequent or costly. With Tekagogo’s cloud-based asset management, you can easily see this maintenance history at a glance, helping you recognize a pattern that suggests it’s time to consider replacing the unit. Instead of waiting for a major breakdown that could disrupt your practice, you can plan for a timely replacement, saving both time and money in the long run.
Exclusive Discounts
As a member of Tekagogo’s Preventative Maintenance Program, you’ll enjoy exclusive savings all year long. Program members receive a discounted hourly rate on every work order, helping you manage costs while keeping your equipment in top condition. With this reduced rate, you can save $20 per hour on every service call.
Pre-scheduled Visits
With Tekagogo’s Preventative Maintenance Program, you have the convenience of pre-scheduling your maintenance visits at times that fit seamlessly into your practice’s routine. Whether you need appointments during regular hours or prefer after-hours or weekend options, the program offers the flexibility to plan ahead. By locking in these visits, you avoid the chaos of last-minute repairs and ensure that your equipment is consistently maintained without disrupting your workflow.
Types of Dental Equipment We Provide Preventative Maintenance Services For
Our program covers a wide range of dental equipment, ensuring that all aspects of your practice are well-maintained and functioning at their best. From mechanical systems to advanced technology, our highly skilled Teks are equipped to handle it.
Mechanical Equipment
Your practice relies heavily on mechanical systems. Tekagogo provides maintenance and repairs for vacuums, compressors, amalgam separators, water sterilization systems, and more. Regular servicing of these essential components helps prevent unexpected failures that can halt your practice in its tracks.
Operatory Equipment
From dental chairs to lights and delivery units, our Teks are equipped to handle a wide range of operatory equipment. While the Preventative Maintenance Program focuses on core equipment, during a visit, our Teks can also address any specific concerns or issues you may have with your operatory equipment, like a malfunctioning scaler or X-ray unit.
Sterilization Equipment
Sterilization is essential for maintaining hygiene standards in your practice. Our Teks are experts at quickly repairing ultrasonic cleaners, sterilizers, and other critical cleaning devices, ensuring that your sterilization process remains safe and reliable.
Technology Equipment
Modern dental practices rely on sophisticated technology, and Tekagogo’s Teks are skilled at maintaining these vital systems. We handle X-ray machines, panoramic X-rays, cone beam machines, sensors, and phosphor plate X-rays, ensuring your diagnostic equipment stays accurate and operational.
How the Program Works
Tekagogo’s Preventative Maintenance Program is built to take the hassle out of equipment upkeep. With a straightforward enrollment process and flexible scheduling options, you can easily maintain your dental equipment without disrupting your day-to-day operations.
Here’s how the program works to ensure the long-term reliability of your dental equipment:
Dashboard Access
Tekagogo’s digital dashboard puts you in control of your dental equipment maintenance. With easy access to your service history, equipment inventory, and upcoming scheduled visits, the dashboard helps you stay organized and informed. You can see detailed records of past repairs, track your equipment’s performance over time, and make proactive decisions about future maintenance needs—all from one convenient place.
Comprehensive Equipment Checks
Every maintenance visit includes thorough inspections and evaluations of your dental equipment. Our Teks perform detailed checks according to manufacturer recommendations to ensure everything is functioning optimally. Whether it’s making minor adjustments or replacing worn parts, these routine checks help extend the life of your equipment and prevent costly, unexpected repairs down the road.
Preventative vs. Reactive Maintenance
In the world of dental practices, maintenance can be approached in two ways: proactive or reactive.
Reactive Maintenance
Reactive maintenance happens after something has already gone wrong—when your equipment breaks down, and you’re scrambling to fix it. Tekagogo’s on-demand dental equipment repair services are perfect for those moments. But what if you could avoid equipment failures altogether?
Proactive Maintenance
Instead of waiting for a breakdown, proactive maintenance lets you address issues before they escalate into critical failures.
The benefits of being proactive are clear:
- Prevents breakdowns: You avoid costly, last-minute repairs that can disrupt your schedule.
- Reduces long-term costs: Regular maintenance helps extend the life of your equipment, saving you from more expensive replacements down the line.
- Minimizes downtime: When your equipment is well-maintained, your practice can keep running smoothly without the chaos of unplanned repairs.
We said it before, but it’s worth saying again: If you don’t schedule time for maintenance, your dental equipment will schedule it for you.
Cost Benefits of Preventative Maintenance
Proactive maintenance isn’t just about keeping your equipment in top shape—it’s also a smart financial move. By addressing potential issues early, you save on expensive repairs and prolong the lifespan of your dental equipment.
Reduce Repair Costs
It’s no secret that emergency repairs can be expensive. When something breaks unexpectedly, you’re often facing higher fees for urgent repairs, rush shipping on parts, and, in some cases, lost productivity. On the other hand, regular maintenance helps you catch and fix small issues before they turn into big problems. By staying ahead of potential failures, you avoid the higher costs of last-minute repairs and keep your practice running smoothly without the stress of an unexpected breakdown.
Extended Equipment Lifespan
Routine maintenance doesn’t just save you from sudden repairs—it also helps extend the life of your equipment. When you stay on top of things like cleanings, inspections, and part replacements, your tools stay in better shape longer. Instead of wearing down prematurely or needing an early replacement, your equipment can continue performing at its best for years. This means you get the most out of your investment, avoiding the need for expensive new purchases before they’re necessary.
Discounted Service Rates
Another perk of joining Tekagogo’s Preventative Maintenance Program is access to discounted service rates. As a member, you’ll enjoy reduced hourly rates on any work orders, making it more affordable to maintain your equipment year-round. These exclusive discounts ensure that even when repairs are needed, they won’t break the bank.
Asset Management and Inventory Tracking
Keeping track of all your dental equipment can be a challenge, but Tekagogo’s Preventative Maintenance Program makes it simple. With detailed asset management and inventory tracking features, you have full visibility into your equipment’s condition and service history, helping you make informed decisions about repairs, replacements, and overall maintenance.
Inventory Dashboard
Tekagogo’s user-friendly inventory dashboard gives you a clear overview of all your equipment in one place. You can easily track the service history, monitor upcoming maintenance, and even upload pictures and notes for each piece of equipment. This centralized system makes it easy to stay organized and ensures you never lose sight of what needs attention next. Whether you’re managing a single practice or overseeing multiple locations, the dashboard keeps everything at your fingertips.
