Questions offices ask

How do I troubleshoot a KaVo handpiece?

Match the symptom: noise and weak cut are usually the turbine, a slipping bur is the chuck, drag on INTRA is an overhaul, electric 25LPA is estimate-first. Then mail it.

Why is my KaVo losing power?

Worn bearings in the turbine on air high-speeds. Pull it and send it in. Running it through another week costs more.

Do you repair KaVo 25LPA and EXPERTmatic?

Yes. Those are electric. Typical ranges are higher than a 6000-series turbine. Volume specials do not apply.
