Why You Shouldn’t Ignore Handpiece Problems
Electric 1:5 speed-increasing attachments are built differently from high-speed turbines. They have two bearings in the head, but the real power transfer happens through a series of gears. When those gears start wearing down, problems can get worse quickly.
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 different, butour electric dental handpiece motor repair services typically include:
- Bearing Replacement: Restores smoother performance at a lower cost
- 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.
We provide a free estimate before any work begins, ensuring transparency and no unexpected costs.
