Zirconia
ZirMega
High translucent monolithic zirconia
Natural looking translucency similar to lithium disilicate but with the stability, biocompatibility, and strength of zirconia.
Indications:
-
Anterior & posterior crowns
-
Up to 3-unit bridges
ZirMax
Porcelain layered zirconia
A zirconia cadcam coping that provides strength, layered with the finest porcelain to achieve superior aesthetics and natural translucency.
Indications:
-
Anterior & posterior crowns
-
Short & long-span bridges

Implant retained restorations
ZirMil
Monolithic zirconia
Cost effective and a great alternative to PFMs and full alloy restorations. Virtually chip proof, making it ideal for bruxers, implant restorations and areas with limited occlusal space.
Indications:
-
Posterior crowns
-
Long-span bridge
-
Implant retained restorations
IPS e.max®
Alloy
Pressed or CAD
The reformulated lithium disilicate glass ceramic blends ultimate simplicity with exceptional versatility. It offers the perfect balance of strength, durability and natural-like translucency.
Indications:
-
Anterior crowns
-
3-unit bridge (up to the second premolar as the terminal abutment)
-
Inlays & onlays
-
Veneers (SlimSmile prepless & traditional)
PFM
Porcelain fused to metal
A versatile and reliable choice for both single unit crowns and long-span bridges. Available in both non-precious and semi-precious alloys, allowing for flexibility in clinical requirements.
Indications:
-
Anterior & posterior crowns
-
Short & long-span bridges
Full Alloy
Non-precious & semi-precious
Extremely durable and corrosion resistant (particularly with semi-precious alloys), offering exceptional fracture resistance for heavy occlusal forces and a smooth surface that resist plaque. Have higher tensile strength allowing for thinner crown walls and more conservative tooth preparation, making them an ideal choice when interocclusal space is limited.
