Who we serve
Your practice, your equipment
Every kind of practice has its own section. Find yours.
Dental practices
The operatory and everything behind it
Handpieces, sterilizers, chairs and delivery units, compressors, vacuums and X-ray. Fuchs EquipCare keeps a dental office running on site: one call, one invoice and one person who already knows your room.
Before
After
Handpiece upgrade
Trade the bulb for LED
Fiber optic handpieces put the light right at the tip. On older units that light comes from a bulb; newer fiber optic tubing has the LED built into the connector.
Fuchs EquipCare fits LED fiber optic tubing on dental delivery units. Ask about it on your next handpiece repair.
Dental services
Dental digital technology
Scanners now take a full-mouth scan with a small camera wand, and the file goes digital like a panoramic or an X-ray. Offices mill their own crowns, caps and temps instead of sending them out to a lab and waiting days, and print on 3D printers.
Ask Fuchs EquipCare about the intraoral scanner: an introduction, help getting it started, and back-up in the field.

William Fuchs installs and repairs equipment from ImageWorks, Midmark, Belmont, Dexis and other manufacturers.

Panoramic X-ray units
Equipment sales, installation and repairs for your practice.
Intraoral X-ray units
Sales and service for new or existing equipment in the operatory.
X-ray sensors
X-ray sensor repair
A new sensor runs $6,000 to $8,000. Its thin cable and USB plug break like a phone charger, and sensors get dropped, pulled or bitten. Most manufacturers will not fix them; they want to sell new ones. Fuchs EquipCare gets yours repaired for a fraction of the cost of a new one, for dental and veterinary offices.

CFU/mL
CDC’s water-quality target for heterotrophic bacteria in routine dental treatment water.
Fuchs EquipCare helps with dental unit waterline testing, treatment and re-testing. Routine maintenance and monitoring are part of a dental practice’s infection-prevention program.
William Fuchs helps your office review test results and plan the next steps. Waterline maintenance and monitoring follow the instructions for your dental unit and waterline treatment product.
Test every line
Initial testing of all dental unit waterlines, with a plain-English evaluation of the results.
Shock the system
All waterlines shocked with a strong disinfectant to clear established biofilm.
Re-test to confirm

Set the program
A safety and water treatment program recommended per CDC and OSAP Clinical Monitoring Guidelines.
Equipment Evaluation Program
Know what you have before you sell.
Selling your practice or planning to retire? Before you sit down with a buyer or a broker, get a thorough valuation of what your equipment is worth and how much life it has left.
The equipment in your practice is a major asset and critical to a clean sale. Fuchs EquipCare gives you a complete snapshot of its value and condition, so you can make better choices as you plan your next move.
What the evaluation
gives you
What you actually have
A full inventory of operatory and utility equipment, by make, model and age.
What it is worth
A realistic valuation of the equipment as an asset, not a wishful list price.
How long it has left
Remaining service life per unit, so you know what a buyer will need to replace.
We service vets
We’ll take care of you so you can take care of them.
Your clients and their pets rely on you, and you rely on your instruments to provide that care. The mobile service center comes directly to your clinic with no travel charges, so you can stay focused on the animals in the room.

Inspection
Part of the 35-point inspection and survey, so wear shows up before a cycle fails.
The total solution
Your vision is our mission
Whatever your practice runs, one call covers all of it: repair and preventive maintenance, new equipment, office moves, remodels and full build-outs, and setups built to your own layout. Like a general contractor who knows every trade on the job.
Custom designed systems
Surgical tables for oral surgery, endo and implants, and one-off setups built to the doctor's own layout.
Office moves
Existing equipment de-installed, moved and re-set. Manufacturer's dock to your office door.
Remodels & full build-outs
Paint, carpet, construction and equipment coordinated on one schedule. Your vision is our mission.
Equipment, parts & cabinets
New equipment and repair parts sourced, priced and installed, including lines Fuchs EquipCare brings in through dealer partners. Cabinetry built to the room.
Custom work
Built around the doctor, not the catalog
Oral surgeons, endodontists and implant dentists often want a setup built around the way they work: room for blood pressure monitoring, saline irrigation and every instrument the procedure calls for, all within reach.
Fuchs EquipCare builds surgical tables to the doctor’s own layout, with one person on both the sales and the technical side, and the budget in mind.
You set the layout
Tell Fuchs EquipCare what you work with and exactly where you want it.
The parts are tracked down
Handpieces, syringes, suction, an electric motor, ultrasonic, saline irrigation, a curing light, a foot pedal: whatever the procedure calls for, with the budget in mind.
Built and mounted to fit
Every instrument mounted where you reach for it, like a control panel laid out your way.
Built to one doctor’s layout. That practice then had Fuchs EquipCare handle nearly all the equipment sales and installation for its new office build-out.
What went into this one
Chairs, stools & installations
Replace it or recover it
When a chair wears out there are two good answers, and Fuchs EquipCare handles both: a new chair brought in and installed, or new upholstery on the one you already own.
Chair moves & new installations
Buying a new chair? Fuchs EquipCare helps you choose it and buy it, then takes care of everything around it, from the manufacturer’s dock to your office door.
- Help choosing and buying the new chair
- Delivery logistics and scheduling
- Old chair moved, stored or disposed of
- New chair installed and set up
Chair upholstery
Cracked or worn upholstery does not mean buying a new chair. Fuchs EquipCare recovers dental chairs so they look new again, and the chair you already own stays in service.
- Cracked, torn or stained covers replaced
- Seat, backrest and headrest
- No new chair to buy or install
Stools, recovered & repaired
Assistant and doctor stools get new upholstery too, and the parts that wear out on them are repaired or replaced.
- New replacement casters and wheels, for hard floors or carpets
- Stool cylinders
- Backrest knobs
- Toeboard covers
- Ratchet and arm rest repairs
Ultrasonic scalers · Cavitron
The scaler in every hygiene room
Ultrasonic scalers like the Cavitron are in almost every office, and every hygienist depends on one. New ones are expensive, so many times doctors would rather have theirs repaired to save the cost.
Fuchs EquipCare repairs them, with the use of a loaner while yours is being repaired, and sells them new when a new one makes more sense.
Countertop or built in
A scaler is either a stand-alone countertop model or built into the delivery unit. The difference is space, cost and preference. They all do the same thing: the vibrating insert tip picks and chips away the plaque.
Inserts or piezo
The vibration comes from magnetic inserts or from piezo, which is fully electrically controlled at a much stronger frequency. Older practices and hygienists are used to inserts, and newer dentists are being trained on piezo out of school.

Custom scaler carts
You choose. We build it.
Pick the cart you want and buy it on your own. It saves money, and you get the model you want. Fuchs EquipCare then builds it out the way you want it: a complete water bottle system, air and water pressure regulators, and quick disconnects for the water and air lines. Simple plug-in connectors, so hooking up takes seconds.
One portable cart can serve several operatories, which saves buying an expensive scaler for every room. Portability saves money and space.

The 35-point inspection and survey goes over the equipment your practice runs on, on site, in one visit. You find out what is in good shape, what needs attention and what to plan for, before it turns into a breakdown in the middle of a busy day.

What practices say
Responsive, thorough, and stands by the work
“Willie has been an absolute lifesaver for our practices. He's repaired equipment that other technicians wrote off as completely unfixable, consistently keeping our offices up and running. His reliability and responsiveness are unmatched—whenever an emergency pops up, he prioritizes getting on-site right away. Even on the rare occasion he can't make it immediately, he takes the time to walk us through the troubleshooting step-by-step over the phone so we can resolve it ourselves. You simply couldn't ask for a more dependable dental equipment technician.”
