Handpiece dragging, running hot, or just plain dead mid-procedure? Most repair shops want you to box it up and ship it 2,000 miles, then wait two to three weeks to get it back. We’re right here in Orlando. Drop it off or we’ll come grab it, get it back to you fast, and keep your operatory producing.
No cross-country shipping, no opaque mail-in queue, no guessing what it’ll cost. Here’s how we keep you turning instruments instead of waiting on a courier:
Most handpiece repair is a mail-in business. You box up your turbines, ship them off, and they sit in a queue at a depot hundreds or thousands of miles away. Two to three weeks later — plus shipping each way — they come back. Meanwhile your hygienist is sharing the one good handpiece and your schedule is taking the hit. We do it differently: we’re local in Orlando, so your handpieces stay close and come back fast.
Precision handpieces don’t love bouncing around in a box for a week each way. Keep them local — drop off or we pick up, and they stay in Central Florida the whole time.
A typical mail-in shop quotes two to three weeks. Because we repair on the bench here in Orlando, you’re looking at a fast local turnaround instead of a month without your gear.
No ticket number, no overseas queue. You reach Ray — a veteran dental tech with 25+ years on handpieces — and get a straight answer on what’s wrong and what it costs.
Same repair. Very different experience when your handpieces are down.

Comparison reflects common mail-in service terms as of 2026; turnaround and programs vary by provider and handpiece.
High-speed, low-speed, electric, surgical — if it spins in a Central Florida dental office, we rebuild it with OEM-quality parts. Common work on our bench:
Not sure which it is? Tell us the symptom — drags, overheats, won’t hold a bur, lost its light, leaks air or water — and we’ll tell you what it takes to fix it. See all of our repair services or request a quote.
From workhorse high-speeds to electric and surgical handpieces, we service the brands Orlando practices run every day — with OEM-quality parts so the repair lasts:
The number one killer of high-speed turbines isn’t age — it’s oiling. Too much oil, the wrong oil, oiling after sterilization instead of before, or skipping the purge cycle, and debris packs into the bearings until they seize. A little routine done right adds months to the life of every handpiece in the office.
Proper oiling and purging before autoclaving flushes out debris instead of baking it in. We’ll show your team the right amount, the right product, and the right order.
A handpiece that’s started to whine or run warm is telling you the bearings are going. Bring it in early and it’s a bearing job, not a full turbine — that saves you money.
Tell us how many handpieces you run and how hard, and we’ll help you build a simple maintenance routine that keeps them out of the repair queue.
