A bur is often the only contact point between dentist and patient. It transmits pressure, vibration, sound and movement. In short, it is mainly responsible for shaping a patient’s perception about how ‘good’ their dentist is.

If you used a natural diamond bur back-to-back with an industrial diamond bur, any patient could tell the difference. And on every single occasion, the natural diamond bur would win. Why?

A natural diamond requires far less pressure than an industrial diamond and they cut cleaner and faster due to a sharper cutting surface that stays keener for longer – extending the bur’s life. This means less vibration for the patient and more accuracy for you. Less pressure also means less stress on a hand tool. The fact is, expensive hand tools last longer if you use natural diamond burs.

We guarantee that when we say ‘diamond’ we mean ‘natural diamond’ and nothing less. Make sure you ask your current supplier what they use. So, are natural diamonds more expensive? Not necessarily.
