Prices for disposable intra‑oral scanner tips vary greatly based on product categories. Ordinary disposable protective sleeves cost around 0.6 yuan apiece, while original brand‑matched scanner‑hardware tips can reach several hundred yuan per unit. Besides, the intra‑oral scanning service fee charged by dental‑care institutions ranges from 300‑1500 CNY.
1. Disposable Protective Sleeves (Scanner‑tip Barrier Covers)
Disposable bite sleeves and tip‑cover sleeves are the most‑consumed dental‑scanning consumables. Wholesale packs of 25 pieces from the Hushida brand are priced at 15 CNY, averaging 0.6 yuan for one single sleeve. These disposable plastic sleeves serve for infection prevention and tip protection.
2. Original‑Brand Removable Scanning‑tip Hardware
Professional replaceable scanning‑probe heads for formal intra‑oral scanners carry much higher prices. The single replaceable tip for the Shining‑3D Aoralscan‑L Generation‑3 scanner sells for 299 CNY. Scanning wands from well‑known implant brands including Osstem and Denten start at 22 CNY, even though they are not designed for one‑time disposal.
3. Clinical Intra‑Oral‑Scanning Service Charge
Many inquirers actually refer to the hospital‑charged scanning service rather than spare‑part prices. Service costs are affected by regional economy, clinic grade and scanner configuration:
High‑grade tertiary hospitals in developed regions with premium‑end scanning devices charge 800‑1500 CNY for one scan
Small‑scale local dental clinics in under‑developed areas charge 300‑800 CNY with entry‑level scanning gear
