Electric Handpieces

Electric handpieces are the motorized instruments Dr. Han uses for cutting, shaping, and finishing tooth structure during fillings, crown preparation, and other restorative work. Unlike traditional air-driven drills, an electric handpiece runs on a small motor that keeps a constant, steady torque from start to finish, which is why the cut feels smoother and the sound stays lower and more even.

Why the difference matters chairside

  • Constant torque — the handpiece doesn't bog down under pressure, so less time is spent re-approaching a tooth.
  • Less vibration — a steadier feel for you in the chair during longer procedures.
  • Quieter operation — a lower, steadier sound than an air-driven drill, which many patients notice right away.

Working alongside other equipment

  • High-Powered Suction — keeps the field dry and clears debris while the handpiece is in use.
  • Onesimo, Dental Assistant/EFDA — supports Dr. Han chairside during these procedures, helping keep the visit comfortable.
  • Noise-Canceling Headphones — available for patients who prefer to keep drill sounds out of the room entirely.
