Dental Handpiece Repair

There are many kinds of dental handpieces in dentistry. Dentists use their dental handpieces to run their drills. Alongside the handpieces, dentists use cups and brushes to polish teeth as part of the cleaning procedure.

Regulation

• The need for dental handpiece repair services came about as a result of government regulation. In 1994, the Centers for Disease Control came up with a regulation that made handpiece repairs more prevalent.

Sterilization

• The CDC made it compulsory for dentists to sterilize their high-speed handpieces and accessories. This sterilization process made the handpieces more likely to breakdown, due to the nature of the heat procedure.

Repair Services

• In order to repair the handpieces, dentists had the option of sending them back to the manufacturers. This involves a high cost as well as long turnaround time. In order to cater to this handpiece repair market, dental handpiece repair services set up shop.
