A legend, redefined
Sleek, yet supportive. Unassumingly responsive. Predictable and intuitive. Experience the next level.
Superior care
Precision hydraulic motion allows quiet, gentle stops and starts during patient positioning. Coupled with the virtual pivot, which synchronizes movement with the natural motion of the patient, there’s no readjusting when the chair is reclined or returned.
Whole body patient support
The stingray-shaped backrest fully supports the patient’s back and shoulders, while one-piece quilted upholstery feels remarkably plush (sewn upholstery).
Sturdy, multi-position armrests solidly support patients for easy entry and exit.
Optimal access
The A-dec 500 dental chair's ultra-thin backrest and slim-profile headrest provide more leg room under the chair so you can position the patient low enough to gain access to the oral cavity while maintaining an ergonomic position.
A-dec 500 dental chair features
Thin, flexible backrest. The ultra-thin back allows you to work in a comfortable position—legs under the patient, elbows at your side.
Double-articulating, gliding headrest. Access angles can make the difference between a long day and a good day. The headrest adjusts on the fly with the press of a lever for an optimal view of the oral cavity.
Ergonomic baseplate design. Flip the patient chair armrests out of the way, and the shape of the baseplate allows you (and your team) to roll in closer to the patient and work in a comfortable, natural position.
Sturdy, multi-position armrests. Supports patient weight when they need it, and moves out of the way when they don’t.
Toeboard tilt. When the dental chair reclines, the toeboard imperceptibly raises a full 9” for a gentle cradling effect. All your patient feels is relaxed.
Low base-down point. Allows the doctor, regardless of height, to work comfortably.
60º swivel with brake. Allows 30º rotation on each side of center.

With left- and right-handed positioning and an easy, wide range of handpiece and ancillary placement options, the A-dec 500 Traditional delivery system keeps it clean and simple.

Rear delivery system
(cabinet-mount)

Side delivery system
(cabinet-mount)
The handpieces and delivery system neatly tucks out of the way. With the A-dec 300 delivery system, the look is orderly and clean, yet accessible.
Additional dental equipment options
Dental lights
The A-dec 500 LED dental light brings a lot to your practice. A clearer view of tooth surfaces. Reduced eyestrain. Less fatigue.
