Crown & Bridge Dental Lab
All-Ceramic – PFM – Full Cast
Full-Contour Zirconia
Full-contour (FCZ) or monolithic zirconia is a high-strength, metal-free polycrystalline ceramic engineered for maximum durability in high-load posterior restorations. With exceptional flexural strength (typically exceeding 1,100 MPa) and superb fracture toughness, monolithic zirconia offers a highly conservative preparation option that minimizes required occlusal clearance while protecting opposing enamel from wear when polished to a high luster. Next Dental Lab mills monolithic zirconia with precision CAD/CAM technology, supporting digital workflows and direct scan submissions from leading intraoral scanners (see our digital scan submission guide) to provide dentists with exceptional marginal fit and reliable longevity.
Layered Zirconia
Layered zirconia—also known as Porcelain-Fused-to-Zirconia (PFZ)—combines the outstanding fracture resistance of a milled zirconia substructure/coping with the lifelike optical vitality of hand-stacked, veneered feldspathic porcelain. Indicated for both anterior and posterior restorations, PFZ eliminates the dark gingival margin lines common in traditional PFMs while offering superb biocompatibility, natural light transmission, and excellent shade matching. This restoration provides dentists with the ultimate combination of high-strength ceramic performance and premium, patient-pleasing aesthetics.
Full Zirconia High Translucent
High translucent zirconia can be milled as monolithic, as well as multi-layered. Its surface does not cause excessive abrasion to the opposing teeth. It provides an excellent appeal and a higher flexural strength when compared to other all-ceramic restorations such as lithium disilicate.
IPS e.max
IPS e.max® is a premium lithium disilicate glass-ceramic renowned for its industry-leading translucency and exceptional chameleon effect, making it the gold standard for high-vitality anterior restorations. With a flexural strength of approximately 500 MPa, e.max is highly indicated for single-unit crowns, veneers, inlays, and onlays where lifelike light transmission is paramount. This monolithic material supports both conservative preparation and adhesive cementation (using hydrofluoric acid etching and silane coupling agents), delivering unparalleled aesthetics and dependable long-term clinical performance for dental practices.
Porcelain Veneers
By far the most popular option for reversing certain dental effects. Zirconia or glass-ceramics are typically the material used to fabricate veneer restorations. Some different types include porcelain veneers, composite veneers, lumineers, inlay/onlay veneers, and temporary/removable veneers.
Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) restorations are among the most popular choices for
endodontic treatment. PFM crowns and bridges are composed of base metals,
allowing them to maintain toughness, function, and endurance. PFM crowns and
bridges are an excellent dental restorations option for people with no allergies to
metal, vulnerable crown tissue, and other special dental situations. Next Dental Lab
manufactures using base alloys, as well as noble and precious alloys. Just like
all-ceramic restorations, they are easy to apply and modify simply by grinding. PFM
crowns and bridges come in a wide variety of shades and textures that provide
exceptional cosmetic qualities.
Non-Precious PFM (Base Metal Alloy)
Base metal PFM crowns and bridges are fabricated using non-precious metals, and are the most popular PFM option chosen by doctors for their patients' crown and bridge restorations. Next Dental Lab's non-precious PFM restorations are guaranteed to be strong, durable, and affordable.
Noble & High-Noble PFM
Noble & high-noble PFM crowns and bridges are a great option for patients who need a metal restoration but have sensitivity to non-precious metals. Noble PFM restorations are fabricated using semi-precious alloys and high-noble PFMs are fabricated using either white or yellow high-noble alloys. With proper hygiene, these restorations offer patients decades of comfort.
A full-cast crown is a tooth restoration that has been casted fully in alloy. We make
these restorations with high noble white and gold alloys and/or non-precious metals
that have the ability to resist corrosion/oxidation while offering bio-compatibility with
the gums.
Non-Precious (White & Yellow Alloys)
Full-cast dental restorations are the original crown and bridge solution chosen by dentists globally. Most economical and reliable option, matched with the lowest prices guaranteed. They are generally indicated for posterior restorations, however, they are able to be casted for any tooth position. Full-cast crowns and bridges offer the ultimate strength and long-term durability.
Noble & High-Noble
Indicated for single-unit crowns and multi-unit bridges alike. With the longest track-record of being the most reliable posterior solution, noble and high-noble restorations are the industry standard for full-cast crown and bridge restorations. They can also be combined with PFM. Next Dental Lab proudly offers dentists all of these key resources, and all at the industry's lowest prices.
