e.max®
Made of lithium disilicate, our e.max® restorations are available in three different transparency levels to include low, medium and high. When comparing a lithium disilicate restoration to a zirconia restoration, lithium disilicate restorations have a significantly higher translucency at each thickness level.
Our e.max® products are available in three different transparency levels. If we know the stump shade/prep, we can select the transparency level that will optimize the esthetics of the restoration. Simply note the stump shade on the Rx form and if possible, submit a photograph. We will then take care of the rest.
The Process
Patient models are digitally imported into a Computer Aided Design (CAD) program where the crown is designed. Using the patient-custom design, our milling machine mills a restoration out of lithium disilicate. A thorough final quality check is performed before it is packaged for delivery.
