Amann Girrbach Milling Machine Repair
Fast & Reliable Service Worldwide
Amann Girrbach makes some of the most trusted milling machines in dentistry. But even the best equipment breaks down eventually. When it does, you need a repair partner who knows these machines inside and out, not a general repair shop that will learn on your dime.
At Repair.Dental, we focus entirely on dental equipment. Our technicians have hands-on experience with the full lineup. We use quality parts, we stand behind every repair we do, and we keep you informed throughout the entire process
Models We Repair
We repair all 8 milling machines in the current Amann Girrbach lineup. No matter which model you own, whether it is a brand-new system or one that has been running in your lab for years, we have you covered.

A focused, streamlined version of the Matron. Built for labs that want top-tier milling quality without all the extra automation features, it is a precise and reliable everyday workhorse. |
|

|
Ceramill Motion 3 Air |
An air-cooled version of the Motion 3, designed for dry milling only; no water or coolant needed. Perfect for working with zirconia and ceramic materials in a cleaner, simpler setup. |
|
Ceramill Motion Air |
A compact dry-milling unit that keeps things simple and fast. Great for everyday crown and bridge work, especially in smaller labs or dental offices that want reliable in-house milling without complexity. |
|
Ceramill Motion DRS |
Built for labs using the high-speed DRS zirconia system. Pairs with the DRS sintering furnace to produce finished zirconia restorations in a very short time, ideal for fast same-day cases. |
Common Issues We Fix
These are the problems we see most often in Amann Girrbach Ceramill machines. If yours is showing any of these signs, it is time to send it in before the problem gets worse or causes additional damage.
Mechanical Problems
• A spindle worn out or not spinning at the correct speed spindle causes rough or inaccurate cuts
• Machine not moving properly in one or more directions affects crown fit and restoration accuracy
• Unusual vibration or grinding noise during operation is a sign of worn internal parts
• Tool holder not gripping properly; tools slip, break, or leave poor surface finishes
• Loose or misaligned moving parts reduce cut quality over time
• Machine stopping mid-job without warning is often caused by mechanical fatigue
• Wear on the milling compartment walls or guides leads to off-spec restorations
Electrical and Control Problems
• Machine will not power on at all, no lights, no display, nothing
• Error messages that keep showing up and will not go away
• Touchscreen not responding or showing the wrong information
• Machine loses connection with your design software during a job
• Position sensors giving wrong readings; the machine cuts in the wrong place
• Control board failures: the machine behaves unpredictably or shuts down on its own
• Fuses blowing repeatedly: a sign of an underlying electrical issue
Software and Connectivity Problems
• Machine not connecting to the design software on your computer
• Remote monitoring through the AG. The live platform is not working
• Tool-tracking system failing to recognize tool changes
• Jobs not starting even when everything seems set up correctly
• Software updates are failing and leaving the machine in an error state
• Calibration data getting lost after a restart or power outage
Cooling and Cleaning System Problems
• Water leaking inside or around the milling compartment
• Coolant pump not running or producing weak pressure
• Automatic cleaning not working on Matik models; buildup affects milling quality
• Filters blocked with dust or debris cause the machine to overheat
• Coolant getting contaminated leaves residue on restorations
• Water lines cracked or clogged interrupt wet milling jobs
• Coolant mixing with dry milling dust creates a messy, damaging buildup

Dentist Pain Points
Every Hour Offline Costs You Real Money
A broken milling machine is not just an inconvenience; it is a direct hit to your income. In-house milling saves you money on every case. When the machine goes down, that savings disappears, and you start paying more to get work done elsewhere.
The longer you wait to get it fixed, the more it costs you. A fast repair is always the better financial decision.
Same-Day Dentistry Is One of Your Biggest Selling Points
Many patients choose your practice specifically because you offer same-day crowns and restorations. When your mill stops working, that promise falls apart. You either send patients away, delay their treatment, or pay a premium to rush cases to an outside lab.
None of those options is good for your practice or your patients. Getting your machine repaired quickly protects the service you have built your reputation on.
Patient Delays Lead to Cancellations
Rescheduling patients is not just annoying; it is costly. Every canceled appointment is lost revenue, and some patients will not come back after being rescheduled more than once. Equipment downtime hurts patient retention in ways that are hard to recover from.
The sooner your machine is repaired, the sooner you stop losing appointments
Your Staff Feels the Pressure Too
When the milling machine is down, your front desk is fielding calls about delays, your assistant is explaining the situation to frustrated patients, and your whole team is working harder for less. Staff morale drops when operations are disrupted.
A fast repair is not just good for your bottom line; it reduces stress across your entire office.
Replacing the Machine Is an Enormous Cost
Amann Girrbach milling machines cost tens of thousands of dollars. Buying a new one is seldom the right answer when an existing machine breaks down. In the vast majority of cases, a professional repair fixes the problem completely at a fraction of the replacement cost.
Do not let a fixable problem push you into a major capital purchase. Most repairs are far more affordable than you might expect.
Patient Trust Takes Time to Build and Seconds to Lose
Patients who experience repeated delays in their treatment start wondering whether your practice can handle their care. A machine that is always breaking down sends the wrong message, even if the rest of your practice runs perfectly.
Getting your equipment repaired properly and quickly shows patients that you take their time and treatment seriously

Dentist Guide:
Your Amann Girrbach milling machine is a major investment, and it is only one part of a larger digital workflow. Keeping it running well means understanding what can go wrong, catching problems early, and knowing where to turn when something breaks.
Here are five guides from our RepairGuru library that every Amann Girrbach owner should read.
📘 Coolant Filtration System Maintenance
Dirty coolant is one of the most common causes of poor milling results and machine damage. This guide walks you through how to maintain your coolant filtration system step by step.
Keeping your coolant clean extends the life of your machine significantly and prevents expensive repairs down the road.
📘 Coolant Contamination and Biological Growth Prevention
Coolant in wet milling machines can develop bacterial growth over time, causing bad odors, corrosion, and performance problems that sneak up on you.
This guide explains how to spot contamination early and prevent it from becoming a costly repair issue.
📘 Spindle Lubrication Systems: Grease vs. Oil
The spindle is the heart of your milling machine, and proper lubrication is what keeps it running smoothly and accurately for years.
This guide breaks down the difference between grease and oil lubrication in simple terms, so you know what your machine needs and when.
📘 Static Electricity Control in Dust Collection
Dry milling creates fine dust, and static electricity buildup in dust collection systems is a real but often overlooked risk in dental labs.
This guide explains what causes it, why it matters, and simple steps you can take to keep your workspace and machine safer.
📘 Repairing Dental Equipment: A Comprehensive Guide for Dentists
Not sure when to repair versus replace your dental equipment? This guide helps you make that decision with confidence, covering all major dental equipment categories.
It is a practical resource for any dentist or lab owner who wants to protect their investment and avoid unnecessary spending on new equipment.
