Crowns & Bridges
Layered Zirconia
Zirconia strength with hand-layered porcelain for the most natural esthetics.
Layered zirconia is 100% metal-free, which prevents gingival darkening and removes the possibility of exposed metal margins if recession occurs.
It is the most natural-looking of all our restorations, using layered porcelain to mimic the nuances of natural teeth. For multi-unit bridges beyond 3 units that still need a high degree of natural vitality, layered zirconia is the ideal choice.
