TPC Advanced Technology.

TPC Advanced Technology's about page says the company was incorporated in 1993 and manufactures from disposable accessories through capital equipment. The mission statement says products go out through distribution partners to dentists, hygienists, teaching institutions, and government organizations. The current about page prints the address as 851 S. Lawson Street, Los Angeles, California 91748. Older Mirage cart literature on the same site prints City of Industry, California, with telephone 626-810-4337. Use the address on the page you are ordering from, and ask the dealer which dock ships the chair.

Chairs split into hydraulic and electromechanical, the same decision other operatory makers force. Mirage 2.0 is the hydraulic family, including ortho models without armrests and a fixed-base ortho chair. Laguna 2.0 is the electromechanical family, again with an ortho model. A portable chair with a carry bag is listed for sites that are not a plumbed operatory. The 2026 catalog describes Mirage programmable positions, a foot control, a 30 degree swivel, and a double-articulating headrest.

Delivery can be chair-mounted or a cart. Mirage 2.0 cart sheets show three handpiece positions, a three-way syringe, and an adjustable frame from 27 to 39 inches. One model adds vacuum for the assistant and one does not. Packages in the catalog combine the hydraulic chair with a delivery head and an LED light, with or without a cuspidor. Compressors and wet-ring vacuums are later pages in that catalog, which means the operatory package does not include the utility room unless you add it.

The homepage says equipment is sold only through authorized dealers, that products are guaranteed against defects for one year unless otherwise stated, and that patient chairs can carry up to five years. It also says the company is ISO 9001:2015 certified. Small equipment on the about page runs from ultrasonic cleaners and curing lights to saliva-ejector valves and disposable prophy angles. Do not let a chair quote hide a missing scaler or a missing light.

TPC suits a practice buying a dealer-quoted operatory that wants a hydraulic Mirage or an electromechanical Laguna, including orthodontic bays that use the armless models. Teaching clinics and outreach sites are in the mission statement, and the portable chair is the non-plumbed option. Read the chair guide and the delivery guide before you pick cart versus chair-mount.

A practice that only needs a scaler, a curing light, or a ultrasonic cleaner can buy those without a chair. They are in the catalog index. They are not reasons to replace the patient chair.

Utilities are a third buyer. Compressors and wet-ring vacuums in the 2026 catalog belong in the mechanical room. Confirm the electrical and plumbing requirements with the dealer. This profile does not restate horsepower because the catalog page should be read in full before a mechanical contractor bids the room.

Summit also sells a hydraulic chair and an electromechanical chair through national dealers, and it publishes its own warranty language. A-dec and Midmark are other operatory brands in the equipment directory. A Mirage upholstery color does not fit those frames.

Inside TPC, Mirage versus Laguna is hydraulic versus electromechanical. Ortho models drop the armrests. The fixed-base ortho chair does not swivel the way the catalog's 30 degree Mirage description does. Sit in the exact model number. A 4000-series hydraulic chair is not an L2000 Laguna.

Carts are not delivery systems from another company. The Mirage cart's 27 to 39 inch height range is a published span. Compare it with the chair's seat height so the doctor is not shrugged. The light guide and the stool guide cover the pieces the package page treats as options.

The homepage limits the base warranty to one year unless the terms say otherwise, and it allows up to five years on patient chairs. Ask which components are in the five-year chair term: upholstery, the hydraulic cylinder, the programmable foot control, the light, and the delivery block may differ. Get the terms attached to the build sheet.

Sales are through authorized dealers. The homepage says to contact TPC for the nearest dealer. Parts and factory support are offered on that page. ISO 9001:2015 is the quality certificate named there, issued in the company's wording by SCB. It is not a clinical performance claim.

Intraoral scanners appear on the current homepage as Rapid 5 and Infinity 5, plus workstations. That is a different purchase from a Mirage chair. Do not assume the scanner mount in the chair package is the scanner itself. Confirm the camera, the computer, and the chair as three lines.
