Opal Z Zirconia
Our branded Opal Z prostheses are manufactured with “life like” zirconia, allowing our master ceramists to recreate highly esthetic restorations enhanced by translucent liquid ceramics.
We are able to reinforce the prosthesis with a Titanium bar if necessary.
Unlike Hybrids, Zirconia is resistant to chipping, acrylic fractures and tooth wear.
You will be provided a functional prototype (PMMA) to verify function and esthetics prior to fabricating the final restoration. All adjustments are done on that appliance.
After the delivery of the final prosthesis, the PMMA provides the patient an excellent spare.
