In the world of dental equipment, what we commonly refer to as a “dental chair” is actually called a dental unit or dental treatment center when referring to the complete integrated system. This sophisticated piece of medical equipment serves as the central hub of any dental practice, combining patient seating with essential treatment tools and technology. At Anya Medical, we’ve been manufacturing comprehensive dental chair units since 2007, developing systems that combine comfort, functionality, and advanced technology to meet the evolving needs of dental professionals worldwide.
Understanding Dental Chair Terminology
The equipment used in dental practices goes by several names, each reflecting different aspects of its functionality:
- Dental Chair: The physical patient seating component
- Dental Unit: The chair plus attached delivery systems
- Dental Treatment Center: The complete integrated system including chair, delivery system, lights, and controls
- Dental Engine: Historically used term that emphasizes the power delivery aspect
Understanding these distinctions helps dental professionals communicate clearly when specifying equipment needs. Modern dental units from Anya Medical integrate all these components into cohesive systems designed for optimal clinical workflow.
