Sirona Product Profile: Electric Handpieces: High Power Meets Function and Design

Electric handpieces provide dentists with numerous benefits, allowing greater efficiency in the practice and a more comfortable experience chairside. Sirona Dental System’s handpiece line is no exception. With Sirona’s electric handpieces, dentists can enjoy greater speed ranges, exceptional ergonomics, outstanding durability and improved control.

What makes electric-driven handpieces superior to air-driven? Greater torque and less noise. In addition, Sirona handpieces are designed with optimum dentist comfort in mind.

The electric micromotor—first introduced by Sirona more than 45 years ago—delivers more power, more consistently to the unit head than air-driven power, allowing dentists to perform a broad range of functions with confidence. Constant torque throughout a range of speeds offers better control and more precise cutting. Melding high technology with ergonomic appeal, the micromotor supplies this improved power with less vibration and reduced noise, creating a more comfortable encounter for both dentist and patient.

Comfort is also a key factor in the way Sirona designs its entire handpiece line. High-quality titanium casing is standard on the premium models, providing an easy-to-grip surface that is warm to the touch and kind to the skin. Additionally, all Sirona handpieces boast smooth-flowing contours that ensure optimum efficiency regardless of the dentist’ grip. Finally, Sirona’s powerful electric micromotors—the Motor SL and Motor EL 1—are strategically located for perfect balance, eliminating the fatigue often associated with long procedures.

While an all-electric operatory can be the ideal choice when setting up a new practice, simultaneously replacing all air-driven equipment may not be economically feasible for an existing practice. However, moving from air to electric needn’t be an all-or-nothing investment. Conversion from air-driven to electric-driven equipment is possible through control boxes that easily integrate into the chip air and chip water supply of existing dental treatment centers. This allows dentists to upgrade to electric-driven handpieces during the natural equipment replacement cycle of their practices.

To make owning a Sirona electric handpiece even easier, the company offers industry leading extended three- and five-year total warranty options on its entire line. A two-year total warranty comes standard. The purchase of extended warranties also earns the dentist free maintenance products, further extending the already long life of the company’s high-quality, German-engineered equipment.

Dentists looking to build a state-of-the-art practice or upgrade their existing equipment would do well to consider the advantages of electric-driven handpieces. Sirona’s electric handpieces offer the speed, comfort, and efficiency benefits of electric power, combined with the innovative technology and design that are the hallmarks of Sirona Dental Systems.
