"Upgrade Your Smile: Why You Need Both Electric Motors and Fast Handpieces in Your New Dental Chair
Investing in a new dental chair is an exciting step for any practice! But with so many options available, choosing the right handpieces can be overwhelming. Should you go with the classic speed of turbines or the growing versatility of electric motors? The answer: you need both!
Here's why having both types of handpieces is essential for modern dentistry:
1. Precision Meets Power:
Electric motors: Deliver controlled torque for delicate procedures like polishing, endodontics, and low-speed drilling. Precise control minimizes discomfort and ensures accuracy.
Turbines: Excel at rapidly removing hard tissue with their high RPMs, perfect for cavity preparations and crown preparations.
2. Comfort Counts:
Electric motors: Operate much quieter than turbines, leading to a more relaxing experience for both you and your patients.
Turbines: While powerful, their high-pitched whine can be unpleasant. Consider noise-canceling headphones for patient comfort.
3. Versatility is Key:
Electric motors: Often come with integrated lights and variable speed control, offering adaptability for various procedures.
Turbines: Mainly focused on hard tissue removal, leaving other tasks to electric motors.
4. Budget Balance:
Electric motors: Typically have a higher initial cost.
Turbines: Generally more affordable, making them a good choice for budget-conscious practices.
5. The Dynamic Duo:
Think of your handpieces as a complementary team:
Remember: Choosing the right handpiece for each procedure depends on several factors, including treatment type, patient comfort, and budget. Having both options allows you to provide optimal care for every patient.
Bonus Tip: Consider getting handpiece attachments for additional versatility!"
