06 Dental Tribune United Kingdom Edition | 8/2016 BUSINESS By DTI NOTTINGHAM, UK: For almost 25 years, BA International has been at the forefront of the hand- piece repair business, providing repair and sales services to dental clinicians all over the UK. Accord- ing to its own words, no other company can provide dentist with the full service peace of mind that it offers. Its ISO 9001 certificate ensures that it has quality man- agement systems in place, to en- sure exacting industry standards and to continually develop and improve its services. With over 150 combined years in the hand- piece repair industry, its fully OEM accredited engineers, who are ap- proved by companies like KaVo, W&H, NSK, Sirona, Bien Air, 3M ESPE, Elma, SciCan, Nitram, Henry Schein, Micro-Mega and EMS, en- sure that customers get the best possible service in the industry. To this day, it continues to work with dentists up and down the country to surpass expectations in what a repair company can offer in terms of quality and competitive pricing. So how do they do it with- out being just a yellow repair bag? At the beginning, dentists use the free industry recognised pre- paid repair bag to send in their handpieces. BA returns them in protective reusable & autoclava- ble BA Steriboxes to ensure that the handpiece arrives safe and sound. In addition to handpieces, BA can also repair a huge array of small equipment devices such as amalgamators, ultrasonic baths, DAC and SciCan Statim auto- claves, curing lights and endo units, among many other things. For this, the company creates cus- tom made insured boxes using foam moulding technology to protect the equipment during transit to ensure that it arrives safely. When clients receive their items back safely, they can keep the custom box for the future thus saving them further possible costs. After a concise initial exami- nation of the arriving handpieces and equipment, BA offers a free quotation on all repairs in order to allow clients to make an in- formed decision on whether it would be beneficial to repair an existing handpiece or invest in a new of their own state-of-the-art handpieces. The company offers steel & ceramic bearing replace- ments & cartridge replacements for all makes and models. In addi- tion, they provide world leading high quality BA parts as well as OEM spares. With every single one of our repairs, BA includes a full strip clean and service to ensure that handpiece return as new. It also carries out very specific tests in its repair facility during the service process which include chuck re- tention, speed and concentricity tests, as well as checks on the water system, chip air and air ex- haust to ensure that every hand- pieces is in full working order. The company also has an extensive range of handpiece spare parts and can offer a same day turn around on most handpiece re- pairs, where applicable. BA is ex- tremely proud to stock the largest amount of spare parts in the UK, more than any other provider and is therefore more likely to offer a same day turn around. BA can offer free preventative maintenance advice upon re- quest to help reduce a handpiece repair overheads and maximise the chair time utilisation. By ad- vising dental staff over the phone on preventative maintenance, the company has found that it dra- matically reduced their custom- er’s overheads and repair ex- penses. It can also offer advice on servicing, maintenance, regula- tions and recommended uses for handpieces and dental equip- ment. Working with leading man- ufacturers, BA also offer guidance on reprocessing and adhering to the HTM01-05 guidelines in the most cost effective and time ef- ficient ways. Also available from the com- pany is after sales services on re- pairs and purchases as well as con- sumables. So in case customers have any requirements from a handpiece or piece of small equip- ment, its staff can advise the best product for any clinical needs. As they are an approved DAC ser- vice centre, BA International also offers validation and servicing for the DAC Universal. Its loan service ensures that whilst DAC is with them, customers are not left with- out one therefore not disrupting their daily operational require- ments. Loan services can be also on many items to help customers when they need it the most. BA International work with dentists to ensure that they experience as little interruption in their clinical work as possible thus ensuring the best patient care. As you can see, BA is far more than just a yellow bag. It says it can offer all this at the best price in the industry and if you can find a better price, it will beat it.
