Helping Dentists Invest with Confidence
For more than four decades, Empire Dental Devices has helped dentists in Australia create treatment rooms that are safer, more efficient and built for long-term practice success.
We believe investing in a treatment unit is about far more than purchasing equipment—it’s about creating a clinical environment that supports workplace health and safety, ergonomic working practices, efficient workflows, staff wellbeing and exceptional patient care for years to come.
Long before ergonomics and workplace safety became recognised priorities in dental practice design, Empire was delivering treatment room solutions built around these principles. Today, our Scandinavian-engineered treatment solutions continue to align with recognised ergonomic, accessibility and workplace recommendations, helping practices meet evolving expectations while protecting their long-term investment.
Rather than simply supplying dental equipment, we partner with dentists to design treatment rooms that improve workflow efficiency, minimise physical strain, optimize instrument accessibility and support productive four-handed dentistry.
Because treatment units commonly remain in service for 10–20 years, every investment should be made with the future in mind. Our focus is to deliver treatment room solutions that continue to provide clinical, operational and financial value well beyond the initial purchase.
Our Commitment
More than 40 years of industry experience, premium Scandinavian engineering and practical treatment room design have established Empire Dental Devices as a trusted partner for dental practices throughout Australia.
Our commitment extends well beyond installation. We’ve built our reputation on technical expertise, dependable Australia-wide after-sales service and an unblemished customer support record—helping practices maximise the long-term value of their investment throughout the life of their equipment.
Today, that same commitment continues as we help dentists create safer, more efficient and future-ready treatment rooms that support workplace safety, practice performance and outstanding patient care.

Helping Dentists Maintain Compliance
Compliance doesn’t have to mean expensive renovations. Fimet treatment units help dental practices support workplace safety, infection control and ergonomic best practices through intelligent design, providing a practical and cost-effective alternative to many building alterations while improving efficiency, patient comfort and long-term practice performance.
Treatment Room Safety
Designed in line with current workplace safety recommendations for dental clinics, Fimet treatment units incorporate cordless controls to help reduce trip hazards, maintain clear operatory zones and preserve unobstructed emergency access pathways. By minimising treatment room clutter, the Fimet whip-arm design creates a safer, more organised clinical environment that supports ergonomic workflows, efficient movement and staff wellbeing.
More than a compliance consideration, investing in a safer workplace is an investment in your team, your patients and the long-term success of your practice. The result is greater confidence and peace of mind for practice owners, staff and investors.

Where Design Meets Patient Comfort and Clinical Efficiency
By positioning the whip-arm treatment unit on the assistant’s side of the chair, Fimet creates a cleaner, more open treatment environment where instruments remain out of the patient’s immediate view until required yet are instantly accessible to the dental team. The unobstructed workspace promotes natural movement, supports ergonomic working practices, streamlines clinical workflows and enhances safety and efficiency throughout the working day.

Protecting Valuable Chair Time
Clinical procedure times remain relatively consistent, making clean-up between patient changeover one of the greatest opportunities to save time and improve productivity. Every minute saved between appointments protects valuable chair time, improves scheduling efficiency and increases treatment room utilization.
Automated Waterline Management
Unlike many conventional treatment units that rely on manual disinfectant dosing, the Fimet Arcus system automatically dispenses disinfectant and automatically flushes the instrument waterlines. This intelligent automation helps minimise biofilm formation, supports infection control, reduces manual maintenance and removes another routine task from every patient changeover—allowing your team to focus on patient care rather than equipment maintenance.
Faster Cleaning. Better Performance
Smooth, rounded, non-porous surfaces simplify cleaning and enable treatment rooms to be prepared quickly, thoroughly and consistently between patients. Combined with automated waterline maintenance, everyday workflows become faster, easier and more reliable.
Built for Long-Term Practice Performance
The result is a safer, more efficient and ergonomic treatment environment that enhances staff wellbeing, supports patient comfort and maximises chair utilization. Over the life of the treatment unit, these everyday efficiencies contribute to lower operating costs, improved productivity and a stronger return on investment.

Trusted by Dentists Worldwide

Dr. Camilo Villegas – Perth, Australia
“I recently purchased a FIMET ARCUS treatment unit which has some great advantages. This is the most practical, ergonomic and least stressful design. My staff love the smooth easy to clean surfaces, with built-in automated biofilm dispensing, auto instrument flush and two large water bottles, hygiene processing between patients is efficient and rapid. I like the wireless foot pedal, a simple light press or click or two provides numerous touch-free functions.”

“experience tomorrows technology today”
Fimet treatment units incorporate advanced solid-state electronic controls and brushless electric micromotors with fewer wear-prone components. This modern technology reduces maintenance requirements, minimizes unexpected downtime, and delivers consistent performance day after day.
A cordless remote foot control enables touch-free management of a wide range of chair and unit functions, improving clinical workflow, efficiency, and infection control.
Integrated smart diagnostics continuously monitor system performance, enabling rapid fault detection and faster service response to help protect valuable chair time.
The result is exceptional equipment reliability, greater operational efficiency, and lower lifetime ownership costs—helping practices maximize productivity while reducing unnecessary operating expenses.
Under Australian Consumer Law (ACL) and Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) governance, dental equipment must meet high standards for safety, hygiene, and accessibility. If items such as dental chairs or treatment units are installed with exposed control cords on the floor—creating a tripping hazard—or are arranged in a way that impedes clinical workflow, this may constitute a significant issue under the ACL. In such cases, the buyer may be entitled to a repair, replacement, or refund, provided the issue relates to the product itself or the manner of its installation. Suppliers, installers, and designers share responsibility for ensuring that equipment and clinical environments are safe and comply with all relevant standards and guidelines. Where issues fall within their scope of work, they may be obligated to assist in resolving them.
