A dental tool includes: a hollow handle having an open end and a first channel along at least a portion of its longitudinal extent; a dowel fixedly arranged within the first channel such that a face at a longitudinal end of the dowel is aligned with the end opening of the hollow handle, the longitudinal extent of the dowel being arranged within the hollow handle; the dowel having a second channel, having a smaller diameter than the first channel, formed in the longitudinal end of the dowel; and a tool head. A pin portion of the tool head is fixedly arranged in the second channel to securely seat the pin portion of the tool head into the second channel so that a functional portion of the tool head extends beyond an end of the handle.
