How much does the EMS Airflow Prophylaxis Master cost?
The EMS Airflow Prophylaxis Master is positioned at the premium end of the dental air polishing market. There is no single global list price, because the unit is sold through national distributors with country-specific configurations, financing options and bundled training. Final price depends on:
- Your country and applicable taxes (VAT, import duties, etc.).
- The configuration — base unit, cart, accessories and country-specific tubing.
- Whether GBT-certified training and onboarding are bundled.
- Trade-in options if your clinic already has a previous EMS unit.
- Consumable starter packs and ongoing service contracts.
- Financing or leasing terms — many distributors offer multi-year leasing.
For these reasons, two clinics in different countries — or even two clinics in the same country buying from different distributors — can see materially different total prices for what is functionally the same unit.
Why pricing can vary by country and supplier
Several factors drive the variation between markets:
- Distribution structure — Some markets have a single master distributor; others have multiple regional dealers competing on price and service.
- Bundled training — Whether GBT certification and ongoing support are included in the headline price or sold separately.
- Service contracts — Annual maintenance, warranty extensions and loaner units during repairs.
- Currency and import costs — Exchange rate effects, customs and country-specific labelling/regulatory fees.
- Volume discounts — Multi-chair clinics and DSOs often negotiate different pricing than a single-chair practice.
What affects the final price?
Beyond the headline number, the total cost of ownership depends on a few additional layers:
- Capital cost — The unit itself, plus any required cart or accessories.
- Training — Initial onboarding, plus optional GBT certification for hygienists and dentists.
- Consumables — Powders (erythritol-based and traditional), nozzles and disposable inserts.
- Service and maintenance — Annual servicing, calibration and software updates.
- Spare parts — Handpieces, tubing and replacement components over the unit's lifecycle.
- Financing — Multi-year leasing or financing schemes that change the monthly cash impact.
Training, consumables and maintenance costs
Three cost categories that clinics often underestimate:
- Training — Especially if you intend to position GBT as a service offering, the depth and duration of the included training matter. Confirm what is bundled in the quote.
- Consumables — Powder consumption depends on patient volume and the proportion of subgingival cases. Build a realistic monthly budget into your business case.
- Maintenance — Annual servicing, warranty extensions and any software updates. Ask whether a loaner unit is provided during repairs.
Should you request a demo?
Yes — a chair-side demo is highly recommended before committing to a premium prophylaxis unit. Most distributors will arrange a demo on real patients in your operatory. This lets the clinical team experience the workflow, ergonomics and patient feedback before signing a quote.

Frequently asked questions
Why don't you publish a list price?
Because there isn't a single global list price. Final cost depends on country, distributor, configuration, training package and financing. Publishing a single number would be misleading.
Can I buy the unit online?
In most countries, no. Professional dental units are sold through authorized distributors who handle pricing, training, installation and service.
Are there leasing or financing options?
Yes, most distributors offer multi-year leasing or financing. The structure varies by country and provider.
What is included in a typical quote?
Most distributor quotes include the base unit, cart, accessories, a powder starter pack and onboarding. Training, GBT certification, service contracts and extended warranty may be priced separately.
