More rooms and more opportunity.

Compare what the same equipment budget can put into service today—and what those additional operatories could produce over time.

When does the alternative reach the DCI room count? A selection of 3 years means the alternative catches up at the end of year 3, after three full years of the DCI room advantage.

Illustrative model: “Potential additional wealth” assumes the initial investment difference and the additional profit produced while the DCI scenario has more rooms are invested until retirement. It is not a forecast or financial recommendation.

How this estimate works

Total equipment investment equals operatories × cost per operatory for each option. The operating-profit advantage comes from the extra rooms in service before the alternative reaches the DCI room count. Half-year selections are calculated as complete six-month production periods. For example, a 3-year selection includes all six half-year periods before the alternative catches up at the end of year 3. The retirement illustration grows the upfront capital difference from today and deposits each period’s added operating profit when it is earned, then compounds each amount through the selected retirement age.
