Finishing & Polishing - Finishing Strips

Finishing strips are essential tools in restorative dentistry, used to refine and smooth interproximal surfaces after composite fillings, veneers, or other restorations. They help remove excess material, contour restorations, and create a polished, natural-looking finish that enhances both aesthetics and patient comfort. Available in different grit levels—coarse for initial shaping and fine for final polishing—finishing strips allow precise control when working on tight spaces between teeth. Many strips feature a flexible, narrow design for easy maneuverability, ensuring efficient access to interproximal areas without damaging surrounding enamel or soft tissue. Some are coated with aluminum oxide or diamond abrasives for enhanced durability and effectiveness.They contribute to a smoother surface, minimizing irritation to the gums and enhancing overall oral hygiene. These strips are a key part of the finishing process, ensuring restorations blend seamlessly with natural teeth.
