The Job
On March 12, 2026 our team installed a dental unit in a street-front clinic in Mandaluyong. The reel runs the sequence in order, which makes it a useful thing to watch if you have never seen a chair go in from start to finish.
An installation is not a delivery. A delivery ends when the crates are inside the door. An installation ends when the chair moves through its full travel, the light holds its position, the spittoon drains cleanly, the handpiece ports hold pressure, and the dentist has checked all of it.
Getting the Unit Inside
Two technicians bring the unit in from the pavement. A street-front clinic is the easy case for us. There is no lift to book and no stair turn to measure, but there is a door width, and the unit still has to come in as parts rather than as a chair.
The backrest comes in separately, carried by hand. Then the base frame goes down first, because the base carries everything else. It is set and levelled before any other part is fitted. A base that is out of level will show itself later in the seat travel and in the way water sits in the bowl, and it is far cheaper to correct at this stage than after the plumbing is connected.
Backrest, Spittoon and Compressor
The backrest frame is bolted on next. This is the part patients feel most, because it carries the whole recline movement, and every fastener on it is torqued rather than merely tightened.
The ceramic spittoon follows. Ceramic is used because it does not stain from the rinses and it wipes down between patients without holding odour. It is mounted to the arm and then trimmed for level so the bowl drains from every side rather than pooling on one edge.
The compressor is set up last among the services. It is the source of the clean dry air that drives the high speed and low speed handpieces, the three way syringe and the chair valves. It usually lives outside the operatory, so the run of the air line and the noise it makes at the other end are both decided at this point rather than left to the clinic to sort out afterwards.
The Delivery Unit and the Light
The delivery unit is the arm that carries the instruments: the handpiece hoses, the three way syringe and the control panel. It is the part the dentist touches every few minutes of every procedure, so its height and reach are set for the person who will actually work at the chair, not to a default.
The last thing to come on is the light. The LED head is wired, mounted and switched on, and the beam is checked for pattern and for the way it holds when the arm is moved. A light that drifts out of position under its own weight is a problem that grows heavier by the month, so it is set properly on day one.
Why It Matters
For a clinic owner, the value of an installation like this is that the day ends with a working operatory and nothing left open. The chair is levelled, the services are run, the light is aimed and the dentist has seen every function work before we leave.
We are the exclusive Philippine distributor for ROSON, and the team that installs a unit is the team that comes back for it. Our showroom at 610 C. Raymundo Avenue, Maybunga, Pasig City has the same units on the floor if you want to sit in one before you decide.
