ZIRCONIA

Full contour zirconia

Full-contour zirconia blends strength and esthetics for monolithic zirconia crown restorations. FCZ restorations are milled by our expert laboratory technicians on some of the most high-level CAD/CAM equipment in the industry. Full-contour zirconia offers the highest flexural strength of any ceramic restoration but is still gentle enough to protect bruxers' opposing dentition. Full-contour zirconia is indicated for posterior crowns and bridges. It is an esthetic solution for bruxers and grinders when PFM metal occlusal/lingual or full-cast restorations are not desired or when patients lack the preparation space for a PFM or have broken a PFM in the past. 

Layered Zirconia

Our layered crowns and bridges are an excellent alternative to PFM crowns. They are practically indestructible because of their high flexural strength of up to 1,200 MPa. They are also hypoallergenic and biocompatible. Crafted by layering porcelain over a zirconia substructure, they provide the durability of PFM crowns while reducing esthetic challenges, such as discoloration or the dark line that can appear along the gingiva. They require conventional cementation and are also a good option for ceramic veneers. Through the use of advanced CAD/CAM technology, they provide a consistently accurate fit. Due to zirconia's natural translucency, these crowns are warmer and provide excellent lifelike coloration when contrasted to their PFM counterparts.
