In Jiangmen, Guangdong, China, XINWEIDU dental clinic has chosen eight Planmeca Compact i Classic dental units.
Dr Zhou, a specialist in implantology and dental surgery at XINWEIDU, shares her insights on how these advanced units not only enhance patient comfort but also provide benefits in daily clinical operations.
Aiming for international standards in local care
XINWEIDU’s decision to invest in Planmeca products came from a desire to meet the high expectations of their globally connected patient base. “Jiangmen’s unique social structure — where families have overseas connections — means our patients have experienced international standards of care and expect the same quality here,” Dr Zhou said.
“We wanted to give our patients confidence that they are receiving world-class care right here in Jiangmen.”
According to Dr Zhou, providing an ergonomic experience was crucial for both patient comfort and clinician efficiency.
The Planmeca Compact i Classic chairs offer comfort and adjustability, and the integrated infection control for waterlines ensures hygienic procedures and makes operations more convenient. “It is much easier with just a press of a button, without complicated extra devices, and it is highly efficient for infection control,” she said.
Enhanced practitioner comfort and patient experience
As a practitioner who performs long and often complex procedures, Dr Zhou has struggled with neck pain over the years, and these units have been a relief.
“The ergonomics of Planmeca units make a big difference,” she added, “especially with the over-the-patient delivery arm, which can be adjusted freely. It makes it easier for my assistant and me to stay comfortable throughout the procedure, reducing strain and improving our focus.”
The feedback from patients has been equally positive. “Many of our patients comment on how comfortable the chairs are, especially during longer treatments. When they are comfortable, it creates a more relaxed environment, which is better for everyone involved,” Dr Zhou said.
Streamlined clinical operations with advanced technology
Beyond comfort, the technological integration in Planmeca units has transformed clinic management and patient care at XINWEIDU. “The Planmeca Romexis software platform has been a game-changer for us,” said Dr Zhou.
“With Romexis, I can easily monitor product data, which helps with infection control and daily operations. Access to this data gives us valuable insights for business decisions, allowing us to continuously improve our services.”
The Planmeca SingLED operating light is also another key feature. “The illumination is exceptional — bright and free of shadows — allowing us to see fine details without interruption,” she said. This detail-oriented design enhances clinical precision and supports the clinic’s commitment to quality.
Dr Zhou said that a level of care feels “truly international” with Planmeca’s technology and comfort-focused design. At XINWEIDU, Planmeca units are transforming care into an experience patients can rely on for excellence.
