Why are China’s dental equipment so popular in the international dental market?

DYM’s trade-in dental chair package shares why Chinese dental equipment is so popular in the international dental market.

By 2025, China’s dental equipment exports have shown a growing trend, with export markets covering more than 100 countries and regions worldwide, and a pattern has been formed where developed markets are dominant and emerging markets are experiencing high growth. According to statistics from the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), in the first half of 2025, China’s exports of dental equipment and materials reached $900 million, a year-on-year increase of 9.6%, with export volume growing by 8.9% year-on-year and export average price rising by 0.7% year-on-year, achieving a favorable situation of growth in both quantity and price. Therefore, it is worth the attention of dental manufacturing enterprises.

The development of China’s dental equipment manufacturing has evolved from basic manufacturing to high-end intelligent manufacturing. Take the dental chair as an example: 10 years ago, dental chairs were primarily focused on basic treatment functions, with little attention paid to ergonomics in terms of dentist usage, patient treatment, and human engineering design. However, today’s dental chairs feature very attractive and minimalist appearance design. Their ergonomics aim to ensure oral patients can lie comfortably and cooperate calmly with the dentist during treatment, feel less tired while lying down during surgery, and not feel tense when needing various lifting and adjusting movements, without any vibration.

The personalized headrest design of the dental chair includes a central concave shape that wraps around the edges of the head, preventing the head from moving easily. This effectively reduces treatment risks caused by back-and-forth head movement. The headrest can be adjusted and extended in multiple ways, making it very friendly for pediatric patients. It can be adjusted forward according to the child’s height to reach the optimal position for dental treatment.

The personalized chair frame design of the dental chair, which emphasizes ergonomics to ensure comfortable dental treatment, features a cast aluminum frame with a length of 1.95CM, providing sturdiness and stability without wobbling. The low seat design, with a seat height of 38CM, allows different oral patients to easily get on and off the chair. It is especially friendly to patients with mobility issues in their legs and feet, as they can simply sit on the chair and slowly adjust the seat height.

The intelligent design of the dental chair brings a comfortable experience to oral patients. The dual-core water supply device with infrared and gravity sensing automatically refills water based on the water level in the cup without requiring action from dentists, nurses, or patients, reducing cross-infection between dentists and patients and providing a better environment for infection control prevention. The intelligent oral lamp on the dental chair is very user-friendly for both dentists and patients. It automatically switches between yellow and white light without manual operation; dentists can easily turn the light on and off by sensing without removing their gloves. The eye-protecting design of the oral lamp is not glaring and does not harm the eyes, so patients undergoing long treatments are less likely to tear up, and dentists are also less prone to dizziness. The backrest of the dental chair is made of sheet metal with a butterfly-shaped appearance design.

The ergonomic design of the waist section protrudes 3CM. The viewing position for the head and backrest is at a 35-degree open area, allowing dentists to maximize access to the patient’s mouth during operations, enabling close proximity work.

This allows for a direct view of the patient’s condition, leading to more accurate judgments and better treatment outcomes. A good dental chair must have stable driving performance without stuttering during operation, making the selection of the motor particularly important.

The Danish LINAK screw motor used in the DYM dental chair ensures smoother and safer operation. In addition to the main instrument panel controlling various functions, the dental chair’s auxiliary controls and main integrated switches are focused on the foot switch. Since dentists often need to use both hands and feet to efficiently complete dental procedures, the stainless steel integrated foot switch of DYM allows dentists to control functions such as total water source, air source, handpiece, light, and chair lifting/driving when their hands are occupied. Chinese-produced dental equipment is becoming increasingly diverse and comprehensive.

It is believed that overseas dental equipment procurement units can efficiently and easily collect information from various dental equipment manufacturers in China, conduct price and quality comparisons, and ultimately achieve the goal of efficiency improvement and cost reduction.
