High-Speed Turbine Rebuild
What is a High-Speed Turbine Rebuild?
When your handpiece stops working, it is usually because the turbine bearings are worn and need replacement. Our turbine rebuild service offers a more economical alternative to replacing the entire turbine every time. We carefully remove the old bearings and any other parts too worn for proper performance. After a thorough cleaning, we install new bearings and O rings, calibrate and test your handpiece, and return it to you running as good as new.

What is an Autochuck Replacement?
When the automatic chuck (pushbutton or lever) in your handpiece turbine fails to grip the bur safely you have options. If your bearings are in good condition, we can replace just the autochuck, this is a separate repair from the turbine rebuild or replacement and carries a separate 6-month warranty. If your bearings are also in need of replacement, or your turbine cannot be brought back within factory specifications we will recommend a new turbine.

Electric Handpiece Repairs
Electric 1:5 speed increasing attachments operate closer to a low-speed gear angle than a high speed air turbine. There are 2 bearings in the head that can be replaced like a high-speed turbine, but the power is transferred to the head by a series of gears. Once your attachment starts to heat up, you need to send it in for service IMMEDIATELY. Continued use could result in patient injury and greater damage to the gears and drive train components resulting in a costlier repair. Sometimes the OEM factory overhaul can be a better value depending on what needs to be replaced.
