Layered Zirconia Yields Unprecedented Esthetics

Layered Zirconia combines the esthetics your patients demand with the strength and affordability you desire. Lab tests have shown the fracture toughness and flexural strength of zirconia are significantly higher than that of alumina or any other all-ceramic.

With our layered Zirconia there is no metal to show through the ceramic and no unsightly black lines at the gingival margin. This esthetic restoration is built on a coping composed of zirconium oxide, one of the strongest and most biocompatible ceramic materials. After being milled using CAD/CAM technology, the final restoration achieves superb intimacy of fit and beautiful, translucent pearlescence.

Layered Zirconia is indicated for individual crowns, splinted crowns and bridges up to 14 units anywhere in the mouth. Conventionally cement w/ resin ionomers.
