Element-Z Solid Zirconia
Element-Z full contour solid zirconia is the NEW natural option for posterior restorations. This solid zirconia restoration requires no porcelain overlay and provides both strength and esthetics. Its chip-resistant quality makes Element-Z the preferred treatment option. Element-Z crowns and bridges are milled to full contour using a solid zirconia that is 26% more translucent than conventional zirconia, resulting in more natural looking restorations. This monolithic material provides ultra-thin, yet strong, posterior restorations that provide the strength to support thin posterior single unit crowns to long-span bridges. Element-Z requires minimal tooth reduction of 0.5mm to 1.0mm; making it the conservative option for both the patient and clinician. Element-Z is available in all 16 VITA shades, offers a flexural strength of up to 1,200 MPa, and can be used for cement-retained and screw-retained implant crowns as well. Read more about Element-Z.

Ultra-Z Esthetic
Ultra-Z Esthetic is designed specifically to answer the need for esthetic and functional requirements of the anterior region. Ultra-Z is milled from one of the highest translucency zirconias on the market - Katana UTML. This zirconia disc is pre-layered with gingival, body, and incisal shading which virtually eliminates any shading difficulties. Measuring at a 550 MPa with translucency and color similar to natural dentition, Ultra-Z Esthetic is the perfect esthetic solution for your anterior restorations. This material requires less reduction than monolithic glass ceramic restorations but remains gentle on opposing dentition. Read more about Ultra-Z Esthetic.

IPS e.max
IPS e.max® is the most exciting crown material to date! IPS e.max is lithium disilicate glass-ceramic, digitally fabricated through the use of CAD/CAM technology. With pricing comparable to a non-precious PFM and the ability to conventionally cement in posterior or anterior regions, you simply cannot go wrong by prescribing this material. Please remember to take a stump shade in addition to the final crown shade- lithium disilicate is translucent and unable to block out the two darkest stump shades. Read more about IPS e.max.

Forte YZr Zirconia
Forte YZr Zirconia crowns and bridges are available exclusively from Oral Arts. Named "Forte" for its incredible strength, measuring 1,000 to 1,400 MPa. "YZr" signifies the zirconia has been infiltrated with Yttrium, a stabilizing ingredient that greatly reduces the risk of coping fractures. Marginal integrity is superb by using state-of-the-art, 4-axis milling technology. Forte YZr is available in 11 core shades and suitable for bridges up to 12 splinted units, making it the most versatile zirconia on the market! Read more about Forte YZ Zirconia.

CAD/CAM Oral-Temp Provisionals
Our Oral-Temp provisionals are a highly aesthetic solution for your provisional needs. Oral-temps are fabricated using state of the art CAD/CAM technology. We prep your pre-operative model, scan using laser technology, fabricate your temporary bridge with ideal contour, contacts, and occlusion and mill from a solid block of Vita shaded PMMA (Polymethylmethacrylate). Our CAD/CAM process delivers a very dense temporary that eliminates pitting or porosity associated with other layered or flow-able techniques. When you receive your case simply reline the Oral-Temps chair-side for an esthetic long term provisional option. Read more about CAD/CAM Oral-Temp Provisionals.

PFM Restorations
Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) restorations are fabricated using CAD/CAM technology resulting in a metal coping with a porcelain surface. Oral Arts uses only the highest quality alloys from Ivoclar Vivadent or Argen alloy manufacturers. Our porcelains are supplied by Ivoclar and Noritake. We do not cut corners or risk patient health by outsourcing PFM's to foreign countries. PFMS are an excellent option for dentists who seek a restoration that combines both durability and natural-looking internal characteristics. The underlying coping replicates the performance of a natural tooth, while the ceramic coating replicates the natural esthetics. Read more about PFM Restorations.
