When a patient says, ‘I want veneers but I don’t want Chiclet teeth,’ we know how critical every detail becomes.

Dr. Kaytlyn McAllister trusted our Select Department to bring this vision to life, blending two E.Max Press veneers with two E.Max 3/4 crowns and perfectly coordinated tissue contours.

Thanks for the collaboration, Dr. McAllister and the Foundry Dental Center.

Today’s zirconia isn’t one size fits all.

In fact, understanding the differences between 3Y, 4Y, and 5Y zirconia is key to reducing remakes and improving patient outcomes.

🧠 In our latest blog, Types of Zirconia Crowns: Complete Material Guide, we break down:

✔️ What makes 3Y, 4Y, and 5Y zirconia different
✔️ Clinical indications for each material
✔️ Why cementation is still the #1 cause of failure
✔️ How to avoid contamination that weakens bond strength by up to 50%

Based on Dr. Mark McOmie’s recent CE webinar with the CR Foundation, this guide is packed with practical tips you can use today, plus a cementation protocol that makes zirconia more predictable.

Two options: keep troubleshooting at the chair, or switch labs.

That’s what Dr. Scott Miller and his team at Appalachian Highlands Community Dental Center chose to do.

Since switching, they’ve seen predictable materials, reliable contacts and occlusion, and fewer issues with shade matching. Most importantly, they’re not losing time to remakes.

When you’re balancing patient volume, treatment goals, and tight schedules, consistency matters. The lab shouldn’t be the variable that slows you down.

Anterior esthetics leave no room for error.

Dr. Nitish Mathew of Beville Dental Care partnered with us to restore #8 and #9 using our Element Z (4Y) Zirconia crowns, and the transformation speaks for itself.

With high-translucency zirconia engineered for strength and esthetic control, Dr. Mathew was able to:

✔️ Create a lifelike emergence profile
✔️ Achieve consistent value and shade match
✔️ Offer a durable, low-maintenance solution for the patient
