Quick answer: a dental practice needs a 100% oil-free compressor — the air reaches the patient and cannot carry lubricant traces — quiet and with dry air. A compact practice runs well on a 2 HP / 13-gallon unit (69 dB(A)); clinics with several chairs step up to 3.5–4.5 HP with a 26–37 gallon tank or a Class Zero scroll. We size it by number of dental units, free of charge.

Compressed air for dentistry

Why does your dental office need an oil-free compressor?

Compressed air in a dental office comes into direct contact with the patient’s oral cavity through the triple syringe, turbine, and micromotor. Any trace of oil in that air represents a contamination risk, an unpleasant taste, and potential damage to precision dental equipment.

CBS oil-free compressors eliminate that risk at the source: there is no oil in the compression chamber. They also operate at noise levels so low (from 46 dB) that they do not interfere with patient care or communication in the dental office.

Zero oil
No lubricant in the compression chamber. Air never comes into contact with oil at any stage.
Ultra quiet
From 46 dB(A) on the Scroll Clase Cero. Operation that does not disturb the patient or the dental team.
Protects your equipment
Clean air that extends the life of turbines, micromotors, and triple syringes. No residue to clog lines.
ISO 8573-1 Class 0
Compliant with ISO on the Scroll Clase Cero series. The most demanding standard for compressed air purity.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about dental compressors

It is not recommended. Air from a lubricated compressor contains oil traces that can contaminate the patient’s oral cavity and damage turbines and micromotors. For direct dental use, use an oil-free compressor (Air·co Oil-Less) or Scroll Clase Cero (ISO 8573-1). The CBS lubricated scroll is an intermediate option if you add coalescing filtration.

It depends on the technology and capacity. The Air·co Oil-Less units (0.65–3.5 HP) are the most affordable option. The Scroll Clase Cero (2–10 HP) offer ISO compliance and the lowest noise level on the market. We quote in under 24 hours with a fixed price that includes installation and startup.

Rule of thumb: each dental unit consumes approx. 1.5–2 CFM. For 1–2 units, a 2–3 HP Air·co Oil-Less or 2 HP Clase Cero is sufficient. For 3–5 units, a 3–5 HP Clase Cero. For large clinics (6+ units), a 10 HP Clase Cero or larger. Our technical team does the exact calculation based on your equipment.

Yes. Installation, startup, configuration, and training are included with your purchase. A certified CBS technician oversees the entire process. You just need to have the electrical connection point and the installation space ready.

It is recommended. Compressed air contains moisture that can cause corrosion in instruments and bacterial contamination. A refrigerant dryer removes moisture and delivers dry air. CBS offers dryers compatible with all our dental compressors.

Yes. We offer leasing and pure lease options so your compressor works while you pay for it. The equipment pays for itself through the savings it generates versus renting or relying on an old compressor that contaminates and fails. Ask about current terms when requesting your quote.
