Key principles that make DDS the trusted choice for handpiece repairs, maintenance, and honest advice across Australia:

5. Personalised Service: At Dental Drill Solutions, we believe great service goes far beyond just fixing a faulty handpiece.

It’s about understanding the why behind the problem — and helping you prevent it from happening again.

Because we’re a family-owned Australian business, we treat you like a person, not a client number. When you call, you’ll speak directly with one of our friendly team — no voicemail loops or days of waiting for a reply.

Every handpiece that comes through our doors is given individual attention.

We take the time to look at/consider:

📌 Your set-up and equipment,
📌 The brands and maintenance routines you use, and
📌 How your team handles sterilisation and lubrication.

That deeper understanding allows us to not only repair your handpiece — but also identify what might be causing repeated failures.

Our goal is to save you time, money, and frustration by improving handpiece longevity and reducing unexpected downtime.

You’ll always know where your repairs are up to, with clear communication from start to finish. And if your team could benefit from a quick maintenance refresher, we’re happy to provide on-site (where possible) or over the phone advice and training to keep everything running smoothly.

Because when your equipment performs better, your whole practice does too.

3/10 key principles that make DDS the trusted choice for handpiece repairs, maintenance, and honest advice across Australia:

💲 Competitive pricing: We offer fair and transparent pricing, ensuring you get the best value for your investment.

Don’t let money go down the drain on overpriced repairs, that take months or don’t last — choose a trusted handpiece repairer who values your time and investment

Here’s something most dentists don’t get told:
The “big name” repair companies often have more buying power — but that doesn’t always mean better value for you.

At Dental Drill Solutions, we’re a family-owned and operated Australian business, and we take pride in offering something the larger companies can’t:
Honesty, Care, and Fair Pricing.

We may not have the bulk purchasing power of the big corporations, but we also don’t take massive profits or hide costs behind complicated pricing.

Instead, we focus on:
✔️ Transparent, fair pricing — you’ll always know what you’re paying for.
✔️ The highest quality aftermarket parts sourced from trusted suppliers — ensuring reliability and performance. Offering 9-12 months warranty as standard for high speed handpieces
✔️ Faster turnaround times — no getting lost in a corporate queue.
✔️ Personal service — you’re never just a number to us.
✔️ Comparative estimates against other repairers

Our smaller, dedicated teams in our Sydney and Brisbane Workshops, mean we can move quickly, keep communication clear, and deliver quality repairs that last — all while keeping your costs fair and predictable.

When the repair cost of a handpiece mounts up to well over 50% of the cost of a new one, we'll let you know so you can make informed decisions to potentially replace it instead.

Lack of Handpiece Lubrication is approx. 70% the Cause of High Speed Handpiece Issues we see.

We see so many handpieces come to us for repair that either just need sufficient lubrication or that the lack of lubrication has led to the premature metal-on-metal wear of parts inside.

Bearings manufacturers suggest that bearings should have a lifespan of up to 600 autoclave cycles if regularly maintained (i.e. lubricated before and after autoclaving).

Not enough lubrication is bad, but too much oil is equally bad - you need to find the happy medium for optimum performance.

Too much oil inside the handpiece that has not been purged (run on a chair to distribute & expel the excess) is not good. When the handpiece then goes through the autoclave cycle up to 135 ̊c it actually bakes the oil, solidifying it, which makes the inside all gunky and will ultimately cause problems.

If you feel that your handpiece is not functioning properly, follow this checklist first to troubleshoot:

~ Always start off by checking if there's any air supply coming from your chair > passing through the coupler. You should hear the air and feel it blow on your hand.

~ Then check to see if the handpiece works on a different chair & coupler.
If it does work elsewhere then there may be an issue with your chair or coupler in that room, so try another handpiece on your chair it to see if it presents with the same issue.

~ Try to spin the bur with your fingers manually in case some debris has got stuck in the bearings.

~ Even though you may think your regular lubrication process is enough, the autoclave process dries the handpiece internally each time. Therefore a quick sq**rt of lubrication and running the handpiece on the chair to distribute the lubrication oil may be just what it needs to get it going.

We recommend the NSK PanaPlus Spray can which consists of both lubrication and cleaning agents, applied to the handpiece with the correct spray nozzle adaptor.

If you find that your handpiece needs more attention then please call us on 1300 337 300. We offer friendly advice regarding anything to do with dental handpieces and maintenance, we are here to help 😊

If you can't remember when all of your handpieces were last serviced, then it's time for a spring clean of your Steri Room, surgery drawers etc!
Much like a car requires regular oil changes, periodic battery charging, and scheduled servicing, your handpieces also need consistent care to stay in top condition.
We recommend ANNUAL handpiece servicing to keep on top of any potential breakdowns.

Small Issues in Your Dental Handpieces Can Lead to Costly Repairs: What to Watch Out For...

As a busy dental practice, it’s easy to dismiss minor issues with your handpieces. However, what seems like a small problem now can quickly escalate into major, costly repairs if left unchecked.

At Dental Drill Solutions, we specialize in keeping your dental handpieces in peak condition, helping you avoid downtime and unexpected repair costs. Here are some key issues we commonly see, and what you can do to prevent them:

1. Power Surges Affecting Optics
Sudden power surges or cuts can blow optic bulbs in your handpieces, couplers, and motors. Without swift repair, this can reduce visibility during procedures, impacting patient care. If you notice flickering or dim lights, it's time to get it checked before the damage spreads.

2. Insufficient Lubrication Leading to Rust
Skipping steps in lubrication or drying can lead to internal rusting in your handpieces. While cutting corners might save time, the unseen damage can compromise the longevity of your equipment. Proper maintenance can prevent long-term corrosion and ensure optimal performance.

3. Excess Moisture Leading to Rust
Here’s a quick insight into what happens inside your handpiece when excess moisture is left behind after cleaning and autoclaving:
Corrosion: Internal parts start to rust, damaging critical components.
Ceased Movement: Rusted moving parts eventually stop working, rendering the handpiece unusable.
Increased Costs: When the damage becomes extensive, replacing the entire handpiece may be the only option.

4. Polishing System Backflow
Cracks in your polishing system can allow powder to be sucked into the chair line and then redistributed through your handpieces. This unnoticed contamination can affect multiple handpieces in your inventory. Regular inspections help detect these issues before they compromise your entire system.

5. High-Pitched Noise = Impending Failure
If you hear a high-pitched noise coming from your handpiece head, it’s likely a sign of impeller or bearing damage. Even though the handpiece might still spin, continuing to use it can lead to irreparable damage such as cracked turbines or gouged housings. Early intervention can save the handpiece and prevent costly replacements.
So always ensure handpieces are completely dry after cleaning and autoclaving.

6. The Power of Appearance
Handpieces that look old or dirty send the wrong message to patients. We can restore them to like-new condition, both inside and out, giving your practice a professional, well-maintained image that instills confidence in patients. Clean and polished equipment reflects the quality of care you provide.

Tips to Keep Your Handpieces Running Smoothly
* Regularly lubricate your handpieces, especially if they’ve been sitting unused for weeks or months.
* Remember, handpieces only remain sterile for only four weeks after autoclaving. Regular lubrication and use is equally important and increases their longevity.

The Consequences of Inaction
Overlooking these small signs can lead to expensive repairs, damaged equipment, and potentially lost revenue due to downtime. By staying vigilant and addressing these issues early, you can extend the life of your handpieces and avoid unnecessary costs.

Need Assistance? If you’ve noticed any of the issues listed above or would like to schedule a preventive maintenance service, give us a call at 1300 337 300. Our experts are ready to help ensure your handpieces are in perfect working order.

Your practice deserves reliable, well-maintained equipment, and we’re here to make sure that’s exactly what you have.

How many Handpieces do you really need for your practice?
Are you facing challenges with your dental handpiece inventory?

Many practices struggle to maintain the right amount of equipment, leading to operational stress and potential downtime. At Dental Drill Solutions, we understand these pain points and are here to help you optimise your practice's efficiency.
Many practices tell us, “We’ve got heaps of spares.”

But here’s the reality: if your spare handpieces aren’t working, they’re not spares — they’re just clutter.

When a handpiece fails mid-treatment, the expectation is simple: reach for a spare and keep going. But if that backup isn’t in good condition, suddenly you’re short two handpieces — the broken one and the unusable “spare.” That’s double the downtime, double the pressure on your team, and more delays for your patients.

Why Proper Handpiece Inventory Matters
Having sufficient handpieces is crucial for smooth patient flow and staff productivity.
We recommend that each treatment chair is equipped with a minimum of 8-10 high speed and 4 low speed handpieces. This setup not only ensures that your team can provide timely care but also allows for essential cooling periods between uses - protecting the longevity of your equipment.

Reduce Stress and Enhance Performance
By allowing handpieces to cool properly, you minimize the risk of premature wear and tear, which can lead to costly repairs and replacements. Additionally, with an adequate inventory, you’ll significantly reduce the number of sterilization cycles required, relieving pressure on your staff and improving patient satisfaction.

Mitigate Downtime Risks
Unexpected repairs can disrupt your practice, leading to lost income and rescheduled appointments. With our extensive experience - over 40+ combined years in dental industry - we understand the impact a malfunctioning handpiece can have. That’s why we offer refurbished replacement options for major brands, allowing you to expand your inventory without the financial burden of purchasing new equipment.

As a busy dental practice, it’s easy to dismiss minor issues with your handpieces. However, what seems like a small problem now can quickly escalate into major, costly repairs if left unchecked.
At Dental Drill Solutions, we specialize in keeping your dental handpieces in peak condition, helping you avoid downtime and unexpected repair costs.

Here’s what we recommend:
✅ Do a quick stock take — are your spares autoclaved and spinning smoothly?
✅ Send in any underperforming or idle units before the busy period hits.
✅ Let us help assess, repair, and return them to full working order — fast.

Dental Drill Solutions is a trusted Australian family-run repair service that helps practices just like yours stay prepared and reduce handpiece-related disruptions.

Need a New High Speed Quick-Connect Coupler?

DDS offers the full range of aftermarket (non-branded) high speed couplers to help save you some $$'s compared to buying genuine branded models.

Some with a choice of 4 pins (for non-optic lines) or 6 pins (for optic lines).

We also sell the coupler O-ring sets in case you have water leak issues from your handpieces.

Couplers with O-rings require regular maintenance. Over time, autoclave cycles cause the rubber O-rings to harden, crack, and wear out, which leads to air or water leakage. These seals are critical for maintaining optimal handpiece performance, so make sure you’re checking and replacing them as needed.

If you’ve inherited older handpieces from a previous practice or are looking to switch to a different handpiece brand, you don’t need to worry about compatibility. Simply changing the coupler attachment on your chair line can let you use your preferred brand of handpiece without any hassle.

Call us on 1300 337 300 for more information on couplers & coupler O-ring sets.
