Making a good first impression is important – both for patient satisfaction and for your bottom line. Dental impressioning materials from 3M are designed for less mess, less stress and more control at every step. Our traditional dental impression materials, tools and kits can help you efficiently create accurate dental impressions for a variety of applications, including crowns, bridges, inlays, overlays and implants.

Retract

A great impression — even a digital impression — starts with managing tissue and moisture. Our capsule's extra-fine tip delivers an astringent paste right into the sulcus to gently retract tissue and to help control bleeding.

Syringe and mix

Working time is more efficient with tools to help you syringe and mix impression materials. Our intra-oral syringes let you apply wash material exactly where it's needed, to capture every marginal detail for restorations that drop into place. Our stationary and portable mixing units dispense quickly and reduce material inconsistencies and voids.
