What usually fails
Star 430s that stay noisy for another week are the ones that seize.
Titan
Scaler or motor drag
Overhaul, then back in the rotation.
Solara
Noise at speed
Turbine path in most cases.
Star repair, the short path
Label, pack, estimate, then work. Most repairs ship back within two business days of arrival.
-
Keep the 430 you like
Weight and spray stay the same when you repair instead of buying new.
-
Electric 1:5
Estimate first. Typical range $395–$445.
Care notes
Keep the unit you already own. Mail it when oil is not enough.
-
430 lube-free vs auto-chuck
Those turbines are different jobs. Put the model on the note you pack.
-
Titan bur
Do not leave a bur in a Titan chuck. It will not come back with the repair.
-
Pull 430 noise
A rattling 430K is everyday bench work if you send it before it seizes.
Warranty
Typical Star lube-free turbines carry a 1-year typical warranty. Auto-chuck turbines and Titan overhauls are typically 6 months. The estimate states the warranty for your repair.
No work starts without your approval. If a repair is not economical, you hear that first.
We repair the brands already in the operatory
KaVo vs NSK and Midwest vs W&H are not shopping questions here. Send the handpiece you already own.
