I have had a few questions about which bearings to use in your hand piece.Which bearing you have your dental hand piece repair service company use is all up to you and depends on your budget and preference.All bearings are not created equal.There are the low cost type that have a higher failure rate and probably should not be used unless cost is your only concern. Also while you may save initially on the cost of your dental hand piece repair, the long term cost and downtime will be higher. Keeping these bearings well oiled will get the most out of them. For just a few dollars more you can get a high quality or extended life bearing.These are the bearings that we use at Bauer Dental for our standard rebuild. Our standard rebuild costs $59.95 including the extended life bearings. We have found that these bearings typically last longer and save money by needing fewer rebuilds. The best way to get the most out of these bearings is also to keep them well oiled.The best option however is the new ceramic bearing. These bearings are more expensive but we believe that they represent the best repair and thus the best value. The ceramic bearing typically needs no maintenance. Our experience is that they last 40 to 50 percent longer. The price for a standard rebuild with ceramic bearings is $65.00. You can see the cost benefit.I would recommend you discuss your options with your dental hand piece repair service company to get the best benefit for your practice.www.bauerdentalhandpiecerepair.com
