You could spend over 26,565 hours with your dental chair throughout your career so it needs to work for you and your dental team.

Dr Simon Thackeray of Thackeray Dental Care in Mansfield knew the importance of visiting an A-dec showroom before making the decision.

Simon explains: 'I'm left-handed but work on the right so I wanted to investigate different designs. Visiting A-dec's showroom was invaluable – they had virtually every possible combination of the A-dec 500 for me to try with my nurse. The design I had in mind was discarded when I saw their 12 o'clock configuration. Deciding to use A-dec and their authorised dealer DB Dental was partly down to the quality and reputation of the equipment, but mainly because the 12 o'clock design could have been devised just for me.'

To see if the next 26,565 hours of your career will be better spent with an A-dec chair, visit one of the four UK showrooms or call 0800 233 285 for more information.
