INTRODUCING THE AFFORDABLE LUXURY COLLECTION . . .

MicroDental Laboratories Introduces a new line of Zirconia restorations offering beautiful esthetics, strength, and value.

October 20, 2017, San Francisco – MicroDental Laboratories introduced a new collection of affordable high-quality Zirconia restorations that includes enhanced versions of ZEUS and ZEUS™ Ultra, as well as IPS e.max® ZirCAD Multi. The all-new MicroDental Zirconia restorations offer dentists a new option for clinical cases that require high strength and translucency.

“Our award-winning Zirconia restorations just got better! We have upgraded the materials and processes even on our most basic Zirconia restorations,” noted Mike Girard, CEO of MicroDental and Modern Dental. “As a commitment to the success of our clients and the satisfaction of their patients, we use only the best, scientifically tested materials from trusted companies like Ivoclar.”

Our new full-contour ZEUS Zirconia restorations still offer CAD/CAM precision and high strength, but are now more translucent and natural-looking than traditional Zirconia. ZEUS Ultra, an exceedingly refined restoration, now combines CAD/CAM precision; high-strength and translucency; use of the proprietary MicroDental Smile Library; and the artistic touch of our master ceramists.

MicroDental’s Zirconia offerings have been expanded with the addition of IPS e.max ZirCAD Multi; a new premium, highly translucent Zirconia material from Ivoclar Vivadent that provides natural-looking properties inspired by the esthetics of e.max lithium disilicate.

Whether a clinical case requires a single posterior or anterior crown, a bridge or a full mouth rehabilitation; MicroDental’s Zirconia restorations were developed to provide gorgeous esthetics, high strength, and optimal performance.
