Testimonials

"For the first time, with these innovative products, we can effortlessly adjust our porcelain technique concepts and, in the process, get maximum quality and profit. Fellow Technicians: I love these products!"

GC Initial IQ POZ GC Green Line 1

"We have used the GC Initial IQ Press system for metal and zirconia since its introduction. Layering of multiple porcelains in the past was our only choice of developing the natural look that we all want to achieve. The time spent to add these additional layers has kept us from being productive and competitive. You can now press, then apply GC Initial IQ Lustre Paste NF along with body colors and special effects colors to now duplicate the natural tooth. To create restorations that have depth, intense colors where needed. Accentuated cusps, various ridges and shades are consistently easy to achieve. Now you too can reproduce the natural tooth with the GC Initial IQ Press system by GC."

GC Initial IQ POZ GC Green Line 2

"I initially began using GC Initial MC for high end cosmetic cases where the doctor chose to go with a conventional PFM. I had no idea that it would increase my production and improve the accuracy of my ceramists and myself. The GC Initial MC ceramic layering technique is laid out extremely well and I can really appreciate the depth of this kit. My doctors immediately noticed the difference in esthetics while I watched production increase. I was so thrilled with this product that I have since tried GC FUJIROCK, GC Initial IQ Press, GC Initial IQ Layering and the entire line of GC Initial MC ceramics with tremendous success. I highly recommend this ceramic to anyone looking to improve the quality and production of their laboratory."
