MG Care Dental Treatment Chairs Series
What is a Dental Treatment Chair?
A dental treatment chair is the central working platform in any dental clinic. It provides a comfortable and adjustable position for the patient while giving dentists and assistants optimal access to the oral cavity. Modern dental chairs integrate lighting, instrument trays, suction systems, and control units into a single ergonomic setup to make treatment efficient and safe.
Main Functions and Uses
Patient Comfort & Positioning
Adjustable backrest, headrest, and armrests allow the dentist to position the patient precisely for different treatments such as examinations, fillings, extractions, or implant surgeries.
Integrated Dental Equipment
Most chairs combine water supply, suction, handpiece connections, curing lights, and control panels in one system.
Improved Workflow
Multi-position controls and four-handed operation trays enable dentists and assistants to work together efficiently, reducing treatment time.
