How Our Repair Process Works
Over a decade.
1. Submit Service Request: Tell us the model and the symptoms you're seeing, and we'll confirm next steps.
2. Equipment Evaluation: We review the reported fault history and prepare a targeted diagnostic plan for your specific PaX-i system.
3. Advanced Diagnostics: Detector response, exposure circuits, positioning mechanisms, rotation arm function, and software communication are all tested.
4. Repair Recommendation: You receive a clear written summary of the diagnosed fault and the recommended repair scope.
5. Customer Approval: No repair work begins until you've approved the recommendation and quote.
6. Precision Repair: Our technicians perform the repair at the component or module level, using genuine or properly matched replacement parts.
7. Functional Testing: The repaired system is run through full operational cycles to confirm mechanical and electrical function.
8. Image Quality Verification: Test exposures are captured and reviewed to confirm panoramic and cephalometric image quality meets clinical standards.
9. Final Quality Inspection: A last full inspection checks every repaired and adjacent component before sign-off.
10. Return Shipment: Your system is carefully packaged and shipped back, with tracking provided.
11. Ongoing Support: Our team remains available after the repair for setup questions or follow-up diagnostics.
What Our Clients Say
|
“ Our PaX-i Plus started producing streaked cephalometric images right before a busy ortho week. Repair. Dental diagnosed it as a Rapid Ceph calibration issue and had it back to us in three days.
Dr. R. Halloran — General Dentist, Multi-Provider Practice |

“ We've kept a legacy Vatech panoramic unit running for years with Repair.Dental's help. They always seem to find the part or the fix when other shops just say replace it.

Complete Guide to Vatech Panoramic & Cephalometric Maintenance
Most major Vatech panoramic and cephalometric repairs trace back to a smaller issue that went unaddressed for months. A consistent maintenance routine catches those issues early and extends the working life of the system.
• Daily Cleaning Procedures: Wipe down the bite block, chin rest, and head positioner with an approved disinfectant after each patient, and keep the exterior housing free of dust buildup.
• Detector Care: Avoid impacts or pressure on the detector housing, and never use abrasive cleaners on the sensor window.
• Patient Positioning Best Practices: Confirm positioning lights and indicators align correctly before each capture, and report any drift in positioning accuracy immediately rather than compensating manually.
• Calibration Recommendations: Schedule periodic exposure and detector calibration checks rather than waiting for visible image quality issues to appear.
• Staff Training: Make sure every team member operating the system understands proper positioning, exposure selection, and basic troubleshooting steps before escalating to service.
• Preventive Maintenance Schedules: Build routine inspection of the rotation arm, cabling, and mechanical positioning components into your practice's regular equipment maintenance calendar.Related
