Introduction

 

Dental professionals rely heavily on their equipment to provide efficient and high-quality care to their patients. Among these tools, low-speed handpieces play a crucial role in various dental procedures. However, like any mechanical device, low-speed handpieces are subject to wear and tear over time. The good news is that these handpieces can often be repaired, saving both money and resources. In this article, we will delve into the process of repairing low-speed handpieces and discuss the associated costs.    

 

1. Low-Speed Cleaning: Restoring the Spark of Efficiency

 

Our repair process starts with a meticulous low-speed cleaning procedure. Here is a detailed breakdown of the procedures:

 

  • Disassembly of Handpiece: Our skilled technicians carefully disassemble your low-speed handpiece to access its internal components.

 

  • Cleaning of Each Component: Every component is thoroughly cleaned to remove dirt, debris, and old lubricants that might be hampering the handpiece's performance.

 

  • End Gasket Replacement: The end gasket is replaced to ensure a proper seal, preventing air and water leaks that can compromise the handpiece's functionality.

 

  • Lubrication: Adequate lubrication is applied to each internal component, guaranteeing smooth operation and reducing friction.

 

  • Testing Under Load: We rigorously test the handpiece under load conditions to ensure that it functions seamlessly even during dental procedures.

 

Our low-speed cleaning service is a crucial foundation for the repair process and starts at an affordable $99. Furthermore, this service is included with our comprehensive low-speed rebuilds.

 

2. Low-Speed Rebuild: Elevating Performance to New Heights

 

For low-speed handpieces requiring more extensive attention, our low-speed rebuild service is the solution. Our skilled technicians perform a range of intricate tasks to restore your handpiece's performance:

 

  • Bearing Replacement: Worn-out bearings are replaced to restore optimal rotation and performance.

 

  • O-Ring Replacement: Our experts replace O-rings to eliminate air and water leaks, ensuring consistent functionality.

 

  • End Gasket and Component Check: We replace end gaskets and assess other critical components for potential issues.

 

  • Spindle and Vane Examination: Spindles and vanes are inspected, repaired, or replaced to guarantee proper handpiece function.

 

  • Chuck Restoration: The chuck, responsible for securely holding dental tools, is meticulously repaired.

 

  • Cleaning/Clearing of Air-Water Lines: Blockages in air-water lines can disrupt performance, so we ensure these lines are clean and clear.

 

  • Thorough Low-Speed Cleaning: Just as in our initial cleaning process, we conduct a thorough cleaning to maintain hygiene and functionality.

 

  • Handpiece Shell Cleaning: The external shell of the handpiece is cleaned to restore its appearance and professionalism.

 

  • Bearing Lubrication: We make sure that your handpiece's bearings are perfectly lubricated, which is essential for its smooth performance.

 

  • Chuck Concentricity Test: Our chuck concentricity test guarantees that your handpiece securely holds tools in accurate alignment.

 

  • Testing Under Load: We don't just focus on idle performance; our testing ensures that your handpiece shines during actual procedures.

 

  • Shell Polishing: We go the extra mile by polishing the shell, restoring its aesthetic appeal.

 

Our comprehensive low-speed rebuild service starts at $129 and comes with a full 3-month warranty, reflecting our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.

 

3. Slow-Speed Motors: All Brands Covered

 

We understand that the dental industry utilizes a variety of equipment brands. Our repair services cover slow-speed motors of all brands, ensuring that no matter what tools you use, we have you covered.

 

4. Straight Nosecones: Precision and Excellence

 

Straight nose cones are integral to many dental procedures. Our repair services encompass these variations, ensuring that your straight nose-cone handpieces receive the attention they deserve.
