Handpiece Repair Kits and Parts from Orthdent

A handpiece is a precision instrument running at very high speed, and it fails for predictable reasons: worn bearings, a damaged turbine, a leaking seal or a bent shaft. Keeping the right tools on site turns a replacement into a repair.

  • Bearing and cartridge tools. Removing a turbine cartridge without damaging the housing needs the correct press or extraction tool for that handpiece family - improvisation usually costs you the shell as well as the turbine.
  • Matching the handpiece. Kits are made for specific handpiece types (high speed turbine, low speed, particular brand families). Confirm the type before ordering.
  • Spares that matter. Bearings, O-rings, seals, gaskets and the rear drive shaft are the parts that wear first - keeping them in stock is what keeps chairs running.
  • Prevention. Correct lubrication and correct sterilisation temperature do more for handpiece life than any repair. Overheating in the autoclave is a common cause of premature failure.

Orthdent supplies handpiece repair kits and parts to clinics, laboratories and distributors. Browse the listing above, and contact us if you need a tool for a handpiece family that is not shown.

Common questions

How do I know the bearings need replacing? Common signs are noise that was not there before, vibration, a loss of torque, or the handpiece getting hot during use.

Can I fit the turbine without special tools? It is possible but risky. The cartridge has to be pressed out evenly - forcing it usually damages the housing. A matching extraction tool is cheaper than a new handpiece.

What most often shortens handpiece life? Poor or irregular lubrication, and autoclave temperatures above what the handpiece is rated for. Both are routine causes of bearing failure.
