How Preventive Handpiece Maintenance Saves Dentists Thousands Each Year
Dental handpieces are the workhorses of every practice. From routine cleanings to complex procedures, they’re used daily and often pushed to their limits. But like any precision instrument, neglecting maintenance can quickly lead to costly breakdowns, lost chair time, and premature replacements.
At Precision Handpiece Repairs LLC, we’ve seen firsthand how preventive maintenance can protect a practice’s bottom line while keeping patient care running smoothly. With over 15 years of trusted service, our goal is simple: help dentists save money without sacrificing performance.
The True Cost of Neglect
A high-speed handpiece that isn’t properly lubricated or sterilized can wear down much faster. Bearings fail, turbines seize, and suddenly you’re looking at a repair—or worse, a full replacement.
- Replacement cost of a new OEM handpiece: often $1,200–$1,800.
- Repair cost with Precision Handpiece Repairs: typically a fraction of that price.
Now multiply that by several handpieces across multiple operatories, and the savings from proper upkeep become clear.
Simple Preventive Steps Dentists Can Take
Preventive care doesn’t need to be complicated. In fact, most savings come from just a few daily habits:
- Lubrication after every use
- Proper sterilization using manufacturer-recommended methods
- Routine inspections for unusual noise, vibration, or decreased cutting power
- Scheduled repairs with a trusted service provider before major failures occur
When paired with expert repairs from Precision Handpiece Repairs, these steps extend the life of your tools and minimize downtime.
