Superior comfort, precise positioning, and optimal access
Experience a new level of connection
The A-dec 500 dental chair is now available with a new A-dec 500 Pro delivery systemfeaturing a 7" touchscreen. The delivery system is enabled with A-dec+, the updateable software platform that keeps equipment up-to-date.
Optimal access
Everything you need is easy to position and comfortably within reach. With an ultra-thin backrest and slim-profile headrest, you have ample leg room under the chair for ergonomic positioning and optimal oral cavity access.
Attentive design
Precision hydraulic motion allows quiet, gentle stops and starts during patient positioning, eliminating anxiety from jarring movements. Coupled with the virtual pivot, which synchronizes movement with the natural motion of the patient, there's no readjusting when the chair is reclined or returned.
Whole body support
By reducing pressure points and streamlining support through scientific pressure mapping, patients remain comfortable during procedures. With the stingray-shaped backrest fully supporting their back and shoulders, the plush, one-piece quilted upholstery (sewn option) only adds to the experience.
Tailored individuality
Color and style, delivery options, foot controls and instruments. You deserve to work your way, right down to the last stitch. We believe in choice.
