Simple Do's and Don'ts for Handpiece Care

Simple Do's and Don'ts for Handpiece Care | Repair.Dental

We’re considering sending multiple units for servicing together. Do you handle bulk mail-in repairs, and how long does it usually take to get everything back?

Imran Sheikh

Do you provide any kind of warranty after servicing? We send a few handpieces out every couple of months and consistency really matters for us.

Hannah Brooks

&nbsp;I didn’t realize incorrect air pressure could shorten lifespan so much. If damage is already done, is it still repairable or does it usually need major work?

Victor Alvarez

We try to follow good maintenance, but still end up with noise issues after a few months. Do you offer inspection before repair so we know exactly what’s wrong?

Dr. Ayesha Nadeem

&nbsp;This was a helpful reminder about proper lubrication. I think we may be overdoing it without running the purge cycle. Could that be why our turbines keep failing early?

Dr. Kevin Marshall

Could your company perform routine maintenance on my handpieces? How Often does it need to be?
