Each dental handpiece we produce, whether it’s a turbine or a contra-angle, undergoes rigorous testing to meet the highest standards of quality. Innovation is at the core of our product development, allowing us to stay ahead of industry trends and continuously improve our offerings.

This ensures that every handpiece we produce is reliable, durable, and performs at the highest level. Our commitment to quality means that dental professionals can trust our products to meet their demanding requirements day in and day out.
Gary Henson: Exceptional service is another hallmark of MK-dent. How do you ensure this through your local partners in the United Kingdom?

Gary Henson: Can you provide an example of how your local partners enhance the customer experience?
Fabian Kleene: Certainly. Our local partners are not just service providers; they are extensions of our brand and family. For example, when a dental clinic faces an urgent issue with a handpiece, our partners can quickly respond, minimising downtime and ensuring the clinic can continue its operations smoothly. This level of responsiveness and personalised service builds trust and loyalty among our customers. It’s this collaborative relationship that allows us to maintain high standards of customer satisfaction.
