Dental and Surgical Handpiece Repair Program
The SDC offers comprehensive dental and surgical handpiece repair programs comparable to similar programs throughout the United States.
We recently added surgical handpiece repair to our programs so our customers have access to convenient, all-inclusive service. Our highly skilled, factory-trained technicians have the expertise to repair most major brands and models of dental/surgical handpiece equipment. We perform thorough inspections to guarantee proper diagnosis and repair of your equipment. Complete testing of equipment prior to repair includes checking for problems such as torque, water leaks, clogged water lines and proper spray, stripped chuck-holders and connectors, excessive noise, vibration and manufacturer’s recommended revolutions per minute (RPM). In addition to our excellent service, we offer customers very competitive pricing that includes shipping.
