So, does it fit me? Perfectly!

The paths of these four dentists crossed with Planmeca Sovereign's path.
Since, they have travelled together.

“For me, Planmeca stands for quality and aesthetics, and the Planmeca Sovereigns, of which one is dedicated for surgical treatments
Sovereign dental unit fully embodies these values. In my opinion,
Planmeca Sovereign could even be compared to high-end German cars
that are known for their superior quality and exclusive comfort for both
the driver (dentist) and the passengers (patients).

It truly seems that ergonomics has been the cornerstone for
designing Planmeca Sovereign. The patient chair has a unique design
that allows the patient to be comfortably positioned also during long
surgical treatments, and the best part is that this is achieved without
compromising my working position. Furthermore, the foot control
allows my legs and body to lie along the same axis during use, thus
reinforcing the sense of excellent ergonomics.

The functions of Planmeca Sovereign are convincing. I appreciate
the possibilities to make user-specific presets, the automatic

positions for lower and upper jaw treatments, and the consul-
tation position which allows the patient to be seated in an
upright position during a doctor-patient discussion.
You can compare Planmeca Sovereign with any
other dental unit, but, with all respect, any sincere
dentist will admit that there is no question about
the winner. Any statement favouring the
comp­ etitor is subjective.”
