Electric Handpiece Repair
Your electric handpieces are the workhorses of your practice. When they’re running smoothly, procedures are quicker, smoother, and more comfortable for your patients. But the moment it starts heating up, making odd noises, or losing efficiency, it can throw your whole day off.
That’s where we come in. At Handpiece Express, we’ve been specializing in electric handpiece repair since 2010. Our job? Keep your handpieces running like new so you can focus on what matters most, your patients and your practice.
Why You Shouldn’t Ignore Handpiece Problems
Electric 1:5 speed-increasing attachments aren’t built quite like your high-speed turbines. Sure, they’ve got two bearings in the head, but the real power transfer happens through a series of gears. When those gears start wearing down, things can go bad fast.
If your handpiece is heating up or not performing the way it should, don’t keep pushing it. Here’s why:
- You risk burning patients with an overheated handpiece head.
- You could damage the internal gears and drive train, which costs way more to fix.
- Waiting too long often means the repair jumps from a simple bearing replacement to a full-blown factory overhaul.
Bottom line: if your electric handpiece starts acting up, send it in to Handpiece Express right away. A quick fix now can save you serious money and stress later.
What We Can Do for Your Handpiece
Every repair is a little different, but here’s how we usually break it down:
- Bearing Replacement: Think of this as a tune-up. It gets your handpiece running smoother without breaking the bank.
- New Cartridge Installation: If bearings aren’t enough, a new cartridge gives you fresh performance and peace of mind.
- Factory Overhaul: Sometimes, the best option is to send it back for a full rebuild. When there’s significant internal damage, the factory overhaul gives you the longest life and strongest warranty.
And here’s the best part: we’ll give you a FREE estimate before doing anything. No surprises, no hidden costs.
