Those chairs cost an average of about $30000 depending on the model. A single one of those drill handpiece lines or air/water lines (triplex) can cost well over $1000 to replace. The light reflectors are usually a couple of hundred per shield. This does not count any of the damage to handpieces or other tools, which can also run over $1000 each to replace depending on the tool.
Looks to me something is cracked on the reflector. I bet the dentistry ate this bill because they didn't realize what he'd done because he looks like the type to skip out without telling anyone.
I hope they still charge him for it. What's he gonna do, post this video as evidence that nothing was broken? lol. They kind of have a slam dunk case here. He deserves it.
Can you get this stuff cheap if it's not-for-use and going to be disposed of? Like if you were wanting it for making a film/tv show?
Not saying it's what happened, but there's always the chance this is staged. That's sadly just as likely (depending on costs) as this guy being a douche
The average person doesn’t know enough to set up the appropriate instruments correctly. Dental sets in movies are frequently inaccurate (though Finding Nemo’s dental jargon is pretty good). This is a real set-up.

He'd better hope nothing is actually broken
