We have upgraded ALL of our highspeed Handpiece Express turbines and rebuilds to ceramic ball bearings, same as your handpiece manufacturer
Summit Handpiece Express repairs all makes and models of electric 1:5, 8:1, and 20:1 attachments in our shop.
We repair most air-driven and electric handpieces—whether it’s a worn-out bearing or a failing turbine. For high-speed handpieces, we carefully remove the old bearings and replace them with brand-new components that meet manufacturer standards. We also replace worn O-rings and other performance-critical parts. If a repair isn’t the best option, we’ll guide you toward a safe and practical replacement.
We stock genuine OEM turbines from top brands, including Star®, Midwest®, KaVo®, Lares®, NSK®, MTI, Champion, and Micro Motors®, ensuring your equipment receives the best.
Save time. Save money. Restore performance.
This issue is often caused by one of the following: lack of lubrication, worn bearings or turbine, low air pressure, or clogged air/water lines. Make sure the handpiece is properly lubricated, the air pressure is correct (typically 32–38 PSI depending on the brand and model), and the lines are clean. If the problem persists, the turbine may need repair or replacement.
If the bur won't stay in place, the chuck mechanism is worn or damaged. Avoid using the handpiece until it’s fixed to prevent injury or further damage. Send in the handpiece for repair.
You may need to replace your turbine if you notice reduced speed or power, loud or unusual noises, excessive vibration, overheating, or if the bur slips or doesn’t stay secure.
Every handpiece should be lubricated before each sterilization cycle. It is best to expel the oil by running the handpiece for 3-5 seconds before patient use. Always follow the manufacturer's specific guidelines for best performance and longevity.
No. Handpieces should never be immersed in disinfectants or placed in ultrasonic cleaners, as this can cause internal damage. Instead, wipe the exterior with a disinfectant wipe and follow proper cleaning and sterilization protocols recommended by the manufacturer.
Sending us your handpieces is easy as 1, 2, 3. Print off our Postage Paid 2-day Mailing label and work order, tape to any box and hand it to your USPS post carrier.

Rick and his family business are a pleasure to work with. High quality work and top customer service. Rick has even taken extra time to help us make decisions about older equipment and what's really worth repairing vs replacing. He really owns his craft. Highly recommended.
