Spread the cost of a dental CBCT scanner from £35,000 to £120,000+ with flexible finance options. HP, lease, or refinance
Yes, cbct scanners are financed as a standard asset purchase, usually on hire purchase or a lease, with the machine itself acting as the security. UK prices typically run £35,000 to £120,000, and most deals are written over 12–72 months with a deposit of around 10–20%. Decisions typically take 24–48 hours. Used machines are financeable too, usually with a shorter term.

Guide prices for sizing a finance agreement, not quotes. Manufacturers in this market mostly price on application, so where a current UK list price could not be confirmed the row describes a specification class rather than naming a model. Your supplier quote is what the agreement is written against.

CBCT scanners qualify for Annual Investment Allowance (AIA), letting you deduct the qualifying cost from taxable profits in the year of purchase, up to the current annual limit. HP purchases attract capital allowances, and lease payments are generally fully deductible against profits.
CBCT scanners are bought mainly by CQC-regulated dental practices moving into implant planning, endodontics, oral surgery and orthodontics, from a single-surgery practice adding in-house 3D imaging for the first time to a multi-site group standardising imaging across its sites. Because the equipment involves ionising radiation, any practice installing a CBCT unit needs oversight from a Radiation Protection Adviser as part of its wider compliance setup, usually arranged through the equipment supplier or an independent RPA. Finance is the common route because a scanner is a large single purchase, and lenders often look beyond the resale value of the unit itself, taking the practice's goodwill and established patient list into account when assessing how much a growing or established site can borrow. Replacement is usually driven by a move from 2D to 3D imaging or by wanting a wider field of view or lower dose technology, rather than the existing unit failing. There is a modest used market for CBCT units, mainly through specialist dental equipment resellers.
Some specialist lenders consider businesses with imperfect credit histories. You may need a larger deposit or personal guarantee, but options may be available. Fundably may use a soft credit check for matching, which does not affect your credit score. A hard check may happen if you choose to proceed with a lender.
