WHO WE ARE
May I introduce myself my name is Richard Rudge. I am the owner and specialist instrument sharpener of R. Rudge Instrument Sharpening. Prior to starting my business I was employed by Ash Dentsply for 24 years making and sharpening high quality dental instruments. During the last ten years at Ash I also re-sharpened instruments.So if your instruments were sent to Ash I would have re-sharpened them. For the past 18 years my company has been providing sharpening services for hundreds of Dentists and Hygienists throughout the UK and Ireland. We are now pleased to be able to offer direct to you the same comprehensive quality service at a very cost effective price.
Our Service
We understand the need Dentists and Hygienists have for sharp, defined cutting edges. This is especially important for Scaler, Curette and Excavator points.
We believe we can save you money, time and energy. We can achieve this by helping you properly maintain your equipment.
You will save money on replacement costs, as your instruments will last longer. You can save time allowing you to concentrate on your patients, while we work on your instruments.You will need less energy and effort as your instruments will have a factory finished cutting edge, a dulled cutting edge could mean procedures take longer.
By removing a minute amount of steel from the original cutting edges using quality linishing belts and diamond wheels, we can give you a cutting edge sharpening stones can never replicate. Once you have packed your instruments and sent them to us we will take care of the rest. Our aim is to have your instruments returned to you and ready to use within two working days.
Any instruments that cannot be re-sharpened will be returned with a recommendation that they be replaced.
Postage & Packaging
We can offer this specialist service at a cost of £2.50 per point for hygienist instruments and £4.00 per Elevator or Luxator and £6 return postage.
All instruments will need to be sterilised before they are dispatched to us.
We would advise that you send your instruments recorded delivery ,all instruments are returned 1st class recorded. Please include a return/invoice address.
We would advise that instruments are packaged securely to ensure points are well protected.
This not only protects the instruments but also provides safety for the courier and our staff.
