There are several suppliers of the Dental/Medical units such as Trailers, Coaches in the USA. The selection process should involve researching the following criteria.

*The supplier must be a qualified manufacturer of the Dental/Medical Trailers/Coaches.

*Must have substantial experience building Commercial units from Chassis up and not just using the RV Vehicles or Box Truck as a base.

*Look for Manufacturing facility with in-house engineering and manufacturing staff including certified plumbers, electricians, welders, CAD drawings IT team, and all aspect of business staff.

*Interview the potential manufacturers to make sure that they can manufacturer your unit in your required delivery time schedule, warranty issues, financial considerations, maintenance service etc.

You have options to buy or lease your trailer or Motorized mobile coach. IRS in the USA allows shorter (5 years) depreciation for mobile dental clinics compared to 30 years for the building. IRS section 179 offers further cost savings when you buy the mobile Dental clinic. Leasing option allows you to expense your monthly payments.

It is very important to visualize how your Dental/Medical Trailer, the finished product, will include when done. We will keep this discussion to the Dental Trailer/Coach in order to specify the equipment.

*Dental Trailer or Coach should have minimum two preferably three treatment rooms. The three treatment rooms are very cost effective and allow you to expand you patient base in the future. The two Treatment rooms investment will limit your dental clinic in the future and wanting to do three treatment rooms will be cost prohibitive requiring a new 3 Ops unit or second Trailer or Coach unit.
