Low Speed Handpiece Repair

In any profession, a poorly operating instrument is going to ruin your day, but for dentists, the safety of your patients and their quality of care is on the line. That’s why at Handpiece Express, we’ve built our business around making repairs simple, affordable, and stress-free. So, you can keep providing the expert care that your patients rely on.

For over three decades, dentists across the country have trusted us to bring their equipment back to life with low speed handpiece repair. Whether it’s a worn-out motor, a latch angle that needs some love, or a scaler that’s lost its edge, we’ve got you covered. With quick turnaround times, friendly service, and warranties that actually mean something, we make sure your handpieces are always ready when you are.

So, What Exactly Is Low Speed Handpiece Repair?

A lot of dentists assume that once their low speed handpiece starts acting up, the only option is to replace it. But here’s the good news, you usually don’t have to.

Most of the time, it’s just a matter of wear and tear. Bearings get tired, motors lose their kick, and attachments start to wobble. Instead of tossing the whole thing, our team carefully rebuilds it, replacing only what’s necessary with high-quality parts. That way, you save money, keep your equipment in service longer, and get the performance you’re used to.

When we’re done, your handpiece isn’t just “patched up”; it’s fully tested, calibrated, and ready to go back to work.
