What Exactly Is a High-Speed Turbine Rebuild?
Some dentists assume that when a handpiece stops working, they need to replace the entire turbine. This is not always the case. Most of the time, the issue is worn bearings. Over time, they degrade, causing noise, vibration, or complete failure.
Instead of replacing the entire turbine, our rebuild process saves money and extends the life of your handpiece. Here’s how it works:
- Step 1: Inspect & Disassemble – We check your handpiece and remove the worn bearings and any other parts that aren’t up to par.
- Step 2: Clean Thoroughly – All the internal components get a deep clean.
- Step 3: Rebuild – We install brand-new ceramic bearings, fresh O-rings, and anything else it needs.
- Step 4: Calibrate & Test – Before it leaves our shop, it’s tested to meet strict performance standards.
When you get it back, your handpiece is running almost like new, ready to handle another round of patients, without breaking your budget.
Why We Only Use Ceramic Bearings
Ceramic bearings are included in every Handpiece Express rebuild at no extra cost. They are designed to run smoothly, handle heat and wear well, and support quieter handpiece performance during daily use.
Here’s why:
- They last longer, so you won’t be back for repairs as often.
- They run smoother, which means less vibration and noise.
- They handle heat and wear better, keeping your handpiece more reliable.
- They give you quieter performance, something your patients definitely appreciate.
And again, we don’t tack on any extra charges. Ceramic bearings are part of every rebuild. Period.
Do You Really Need a New Turbine?
A rebuild is often sufficient. However, a new turbine may be required if:
- The auto-chuck (the push-button or lever) no longer grips burs securely.
- The turbine is too worn for reliable repair
Options Include:
- A new HPX turbine (our in-house option, backed by a six-month warranty).
- An OEM turbine straight from the original manufacturer (we have them in stock).
- In some cases, we can even repair the chuck itself and save you from replacing the whole turbine.
Whether your equipment needs a complete rebuild or a new turbine, we ensure 100% customer satisfaction on every repair!
