Designed for use both chairside and in the dental laboratory, dental porcelain polishing systems are used to create a lifelike finish on lab fabricated crowns, bridges, veneers, inlays and onlays. Often diamond-impregnated, porcelain polishing kits can contain different grits and different polisher shapes to reach all areas in a multi-step polishing procedure. When selecting a porcelain polishing system be sure it is designed for your intended use in the operatory or in the dental lab.
