Composite Polishers, Discs and Finishing Kits for a Smooth, Lasting Shine

Polishing is the last step of a composite restoration. It removes the scratches left by finishing and gives a smooth, glossy surface that resists staining and plaque. Eagle Dental offers composite polishers, polishing discs, brushes, diamond polishing paste and ready-made kits, with express worldwide shipping.

Composite Polishing Sequence

Pre-polish

Start with coarser silicone or rubber polishers, or a polishing disc, to remove the marks left by finishing.

Polish

Continue with finer polishers to bring the surface to a smooth, uniform finish.

Final gloss

Finish with a composite brush and diamond polishing paste for a lasting shine.

Types of Composite Polishers and Polishing Tools

• Silicone and rubber polishers: points, cups and discs in graded abrasiveness for composite
• Polishing discs: flexible abrasive discs for flat and interproximal surfaces
• Composite and ceramic brushes: for the final gloss
• Diamond polishing paste: for the highest shine
• Composite finishing kits: a graded set in one order, so you have every step ready

RA or HP Polishers?

RA (latch type) polishers fit slow-speed contra-angle handpieces and are the usual choice for chairside composite polishing. HP polishers fit straight handpieces and are mostly used in the lab.

How to Polish Composite

• Polish only after the composite is fully cured and finished.
• Work from coarser to finer, and clean the surface between steps.
• Use light pressure, keep the polisher moving and use air or water to avoid heat.
