Cost Factors by Clinical Scope and Platform
Program requirements determine configuration. A multi-chair trailer for county outreach differs from a single-chair van for school screenings. Odulair matches each build to chair count, sterilization needs, and ADA access. The three platform tiers below show typical clinical capacity and deployment use cases.
Van-Based Mobile Dental Clinic
The Odulair dental van on Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Ford Transit, or RAM ProMaster platforms supports one operatory for a dentist or hygienist plus assistant. Used by USC Ostrow for community outreach and school programs.
Standard equipment: dental chair and delivery unit, oil-free compressor, digital x-ray sensor with DEXIS mount, air/water syringe, suction, LED operatory light, cabinetry, sink, climate control, and Solana™ solar. No generator required.
- 1 dental operatory
- Solana™ solar — 8 hours off-grid
- Digital x-ray ready
- Non-CDL
- Ideal for: school screenings, hygiene outreach, dental school programs
Truck-Based Mobile Dental Clinic
The Odulair dental truck in 18 ft, 24 ft, or 30 ft configurations supports one or two operatories plus sterilization. 18 ft and 24 ft models are non-CDL. 30 ft requires CDL. Standard ADA hydraulic lift on all trucks.
Equipment includes full climate control, OSHA-compliant sterilization (24 ft+), compressor, digital x-ray, and Solana™ solar powering AC, equipment, and lighting for a full clinical day without shore power or generator.
- 1–2 dental operatories
- ADA underchassis wheelchair lift
- OSHA sterilization room (24 ft and 30 ft)
- 18 ft & 24 ft non-CDL; 30 ft requires CDL
- Ideal for: FQHCs, health departments, county programs
Trailer-Based Mobile Dental Clinic
The Odulair dental trailer ranges from 30 ft to the 53 ft double-expanding model. QueensCare Foundation operates a 53 ft unit delivering 1,100+ sq ft, six chairs, panoramic x-ray, and consultation room. 53 ft trailers require CDL.
Configurations support up to 10 chairs, full lab, private operatories, sterilization, waiting area, and staff workspace. Solana™ solar powers the complete clinical payload for a full day of operations.
- 2–10 dental operatories
- Up to 1,100+ sq ft clinical space (53 ft double-expanding)
- Panoramic x-ray option
- Private operatories, lab, consultation room
- Ideal for: large FQHCs, county health, disaster response
Standard Equipment on Every Odulair Unit
Each unit ships fully equipped. No separate sourcing or post-delivery fit-out required.
Mobile vs Fixed-Clinic Economics
A mobile unit converts capital into a deployable asset that serves multiple sites. Solana™ solar removes generator fuel and maintenance costs. Grant programs frequently cover 50–100 % of acquisition for FQHCs, dental schools, and health departments.
One clinical asset can cover several zip codes, extending reach without additional fixed overhead.
Solana™ Solar: 8 Hours Off-Grid Operation
Every unit includes the Solana™ rooftop array and lithium battery bank. The system powers the full clinical payload for eight hours without shore power or generator. Zero fuel cost and zero emissions on deployment days.
Over a 10-year program, elimination of diesel generator expenses and maintenance reduces operating cost while meeting emissions requirements in school and community settings.
