What is the turnaround time?
Normally we recondition instruments on the day we receive them, or
the following day. And unless otherwise directed, we return
instruments via Priority Mail, which is normally a two-day service.
Even this process can be accelerated through the use of overnight
delivery services. Many customers often request to have their
instruments reconditioned/serviced during one-week office
vacations. In such cases we recommend calling ahead to insure
deadlines can be met.

What is the cost?
Our fee for reconditioning the vast majority of
instruments is $5.50. This includes all types of scissors,
curettes, and punches. For a complete price list, please call

What about
shipping?
Customers may send instruments by whatever means is most
convenient for them. Shipping costs are added to the bill, and
calculated on a per-order basis. Please call for details.
