In the laboratory
How the bench works with it.
Where a restoration has to span, we reach for high-strength zirconia. It is the least translucent zirconia on our shelf, which makes it the right base when the colour underneath needs to disappear.
How we finish it
Used monolithically it is polished and stained. As a framework it is cut back in the design software, then layered by hand with feldspathic ceramic.
Good to know
For long spans we send a design preview for your approval before the disc goes into the mill.
Crown & bridge
Zirconia crowns
Single units milled from multilayer zirconia, polished or stained and glazed, and checked on a printed model before they leave the lab.
Crown & bridge
Zirconia bridges
Monolithic or layered bridgework from three units upward, with connector design reviewed before anything is milled.
Implant
Full-arch implant bridges
Screw-retained full-arch restorations taken from verified scan to prototype to final zirconia, with the design held constant throughout.
Implant
Hybrid prostheses
Implant-retained prostheses with milled teeth and hand-characterised gingiva, designed for a natural emergence and easy cleaning.
