Electric Handpiece Repair
Why Practices Trust Us With Their Electric Handpieces
We rebuild electric attachments and motors from every major manufacturer — gear trains, bearings, seals and optics — then verify speed and torque against the console they run on before anything ships back.
- Torque verified under load, not free-spinning
- Full 6-month parts and labor warranty
- Free prepaid shipping label with every repair
- Free diagnostic estimate before any work begins
What Electric Dental Handpiece Repairs Cost
Free diagnosis
We open it, find the fault and price it before you commit. No charge, and no obligation to proceed.
Free shipping to us
A prepaid USPS label the same business day you ask, with no minimum order value.
Nothing owed if unrepairable
No repair charge at all. A flat $29 covers shipping and handling and it comes back to you.
Start With the Symptom
Most electric faults announce themselves the same way every time. Find what yours is doing below and you will know roughly what is wrong, and what it costs, before you ship anything. On an electric handpiece the gear train fails before the motor does — that one fact explains most of what follows.
How to Send Us Your Electric Handpiece
Five steps, and four of them are ours. The part you handle should take minutes.
- Ask for a label. Call (720) 998-2820 or use the estimate form. A prepaid USPS label reaches you the same business day, no minimum order, nothing to pay up front.
- Box it up. Bubble wrap, sturdy carton, and a note with your practice name and the symptom. On an electric, tell us which motor and console it runs on — that is what we set the finished torque and speed against. If the coupling is part of the complaint, send it too.
- We look, then we quote. Inspection is free, and nothing is opened past that point until you have a written price and have approved it.
- We rebuild and prove it. Cleaned, rebuilt, then speed and torque checked under load rather than free-spinning, plus spray pattern and light output where fitted.
- Back to your operatory. UPS or FedEx, roughly 7 business days from arrival, under the 6-month parts and labor warranty.

Is it the motor or the attachment?
Nine times out of ten it is the attachment. Motors are simple and durable; the gear train hanging off them is doing the work and it is what wears. The quickest self-check is the one in the table above — if the console still reports normal speed while the bur stalls, that is the transmission, not the motor.
You do not have to work it out. Send it and we will tell you which it is, and what each option costs, before you commit to anything.
What a rebuild actually includes
Gears and bearings replaced as a set rather than one at a time, seals renewed, chuck serviced or replaced, optics checked where fitted, then the whole assembly run under load rather than free-spinning. Speed and torque are verified against the console the attachment will go back on, which is why we ask which motor you run.
Everything carries a 6-month parts and labor warranty, and a full clean is included, not extra.

Frequently Asked Questions
The questions practices ask most before sending an electric attachment or motor in.
How much does electric handpiece repair cost?
Electric attachment and motor work starts at $229. The final price depends on the model and what is actually worn — a bearing and gear set is at the lower end, a full rebuild with chuck and optics at the higher. You always get a written estimate before any work begins, and if it turns out not to be worth repairing there is no repair charge: a flat $29 covers shipping and handling and it comes back to you.
Is it the motor or the attachment?
Nine times out of ten it is the attachment. Motors are simple and durable; the gear train is doing the work. The quickest self-check is whether the console still reports normal speed while the bur stalls — that pattern points at the attachment rather than the motor. You do not need to work it out, though. Send it in and we will tell you which it is before you commit to anything.
How long does an electric handpiece repair take?
About 7 business days from the day it reaches our bench. We will tell you at the estimate stage if a part needs sourcing and that timeline is going to move. Getting it to us is free on our prepaid USPS label; the return trip goes out via UPS or FedEx.
What parts do you use on electric repairs?
Quality replacement parts matched to your specific model rather than close-enough substitutes, and we rebuild to specification so fit, torque, light output and spray pattern match how the attachment left the factory. On 1:5 gear trains that precision matters more than on most repairs, because an approximate part will run for a few weeks and then take the head with it.
