Full-Contour Zirconia Crowns
Our exclusive ZR100 Full-Contour Zirconia line offers multilayered options for high strength and esthetics. Available in Classic, Premium, and High Translucency variants, these crowns provide durable solutions for anterior and posterior restorations while maintaining natural aesthetics through advanced material properties.
Implant-Supported Restorations
We fabricate hybrid implant systems including All-on-X, milled bars, and overdentures. Our digital workflow ensures precise integration with implant abutments while maintaining biocompatibility and long-term functional stability for complex rehabilitative cases requiring implant support.
Diagnostic Wax-Ups
Three-dimensional wax-up models help visualize treatment outcomes before procedures. This service supports prosthodontists and restorative dentists in planning complex cases by creating accurate physical representations of proposed dental work for patient communication and surgical guidance.
3D-Printed Models
In-house digitally designed and printed models provide accurate working replicas for restorative cases. These models maintain dimensional stability and detail precision, supporting both traditional and digital workflows while reducing turnaround times for case preparation.
Custom Shade Matching
Our technicians perform precise shade consultations using VITA shade guides. Available at our lab or in-office, this service ensures restorations match natural tooth coloration through both visual assessment and digital documentation for consistent, esthetically pleasing results.
