Here are three symptoms that your dental handpiece isn’t working properly. Please call 800-569-5245. As always, free shipping and estimates.

1. Excessive vibrations – If you use an electric or pneumatic handpiece and it begins to vibrate more than you consider normal, this could be an indication that the bearings within are loose. If this is the case, they’ll need to be replaced by a dental handpiece repair specialist. Alternatively, the problem could be caused by a lack of lubrication and, if so, you should flush the handpiece with oil as directed by the manufacturer.

2. Reduced revolution speed – Over time, you may find that your handpiece’s rotation speed decreases significantly. This is most probably caused by a fault with the turbine inside, or several other potential issues, and you will need to get this addressed if you’re to continue carrying out successful treatments on your patients.

3. Disturbed rhythm – If your handpiece makes clunking noises and rotates irregularly, this could be because of a motor or turbine problem. This is often caused by old age or a lack of regular servicing, and you will need to get your motor or turbine replaced to ensure consistently smooth revolutions that don’t pose such a risk to the teeth and gums of your patients.

If your handpiece is experiencing any problems, please contact me at 800-569-5245. Also, you can download our free shipping label here, ship your handpiece to us and we will give you a free estimate for your next repair. Thank you.

Dental handpieces age over time and become prone to breaking or malfunctioning. Many dentists spend a lot more money to replace them with a brand-new device, which isn’t necessarily the most efficient and cost-effective way of resolving the problem. Often, problems with dental handpieces – whether they’re powered by turbines or electricity – are caused by small broken components within. Replacing only the broken part instead of buying a whole new handpiece is a far less expensive way of repairing dental equipment, and is exactly the sort of service you can access by shipping your handpiece to us for repair.

It’s possible to save even more money considering that we offer free shipping on all dental handpiece repairs. You won’t need to worry about having to wait too long for a repair job to be completed, either – we offer a 48 hour turnaround on most dental handpiece repairs. This includes the time that the handpiece is received by us, to when it is returned in full working order. The time and money saved through this type of repair service can then be used more productively in other areas of your practice.
