Four of the Best Dental Supply Brands for Composite Materials that Every Dentist Should Know About
As fellow consumers, we are always looking for the best quality supplies at the best possible price. Healthcare Supply (HCS) is not some large corporate entity on the New York Stock exchange. We are a family-owned and operated dental supplier based in West Palm Beach, Florida.
So when we say we care about saving you money, but more importantly time, we mean it. HCS stocks thousands of supplies from surgical, and preventative to small equipment, disposables, endodontic, and many other categories. And we provide same day shipping on orders for your convenience.
Here are four of the top brands who produce composite materials, either carpules or syringes, that we recommend for dentists. Each regularly offers buy/get promotions and has the same, if not very similar quantities or grams per item.
- Shofu Beautifil II - Best return on investment (ROI)
- GC America G-aenial Sculpt vs Gc America Gradia Direct X - Stiffness vs creamy
- Kuraray Majesty - Every shade
- Coltene BRILLIANT EverGlow - Fewer shades to stock
Shofu Beautifil II – ROI
Basically, every brand composite has 20 carpules in each pack, in an individual shade. With syringes, where each brand offers 1 syringe per package. Shofu offers a quality product with an unbeatable price. Besides a generic house brand composite, Shofu’s costs are by far the least expensive for a name brand workhorse composite. Normally ranging 30-40 percent less than leading competitors. Beautifil II can be used on anterior cosmetic cases as well posterior fillings. Polishes well like mostly all name brand composites would and should. Shofu recommends polishing with Super Snap discs which range from coarse to superfine and come in two diameter sizes.
GC America G-aenial Sculpt vs GC America Gradia Direct X - Stiffness vs Creamy
Two composites under one roof, more like opposite siblings. As a practitioner it’s great to have choices, and that’s exactly what GC America offers to dentists! If you are a dentist in need of a stiff composite Sculpt is definitely for you. Easy to pack and shape without sticking to your plastic filling instrument. The opposite would be considered with Gradia Direct X. Gradia offers a creamy consistency that reaches deeper down in small crevices. The choice is yours but either way, you can’t go wrong with Gc America’s product offerings.
Kuraray Majesty ES-2 - Every shade
Most composite brands are not offered in every shade, but Kuraray’s Majesty composite is from A to Z and provides a universal chameleon effect shade to go with it. As a medium-priced composite Majesty will fill all of your drill and fill needs. With extra styles like dentin, enamel, universal, translucent, blue, and amber- shade ‘recreators’ can work their magic to create beautiful restorations. Kuraray recently (early 2022) released Kuraray Majesty ES-2 Universal to compete against Tokuyama’s Omnichroma who was first to market. These composites offer a one-stop shop application and simplify your shade identifying.
Coltene BRILLIANT EverGlow - Fewer shades to stock
Coltene has done it again! This composite makes stocking your inventory easy. With six different shades of composite that resemble two shades each, choosing your brand has never been easier. Said to have great handling tactics and smooth fluorescent polish, composites have never looked so natural. Available in both compules and syringes BRILLIANT EverGlow does not slump and blends well with other shades to create beyond natural colors.
