  • Eliminate metal margins and gray shadows at the gumline.
  • Protect root-canal-treated teeth and rebalance your bite.

Who is a good candidate

  • Patients seeking metal-free, highly esthetic solutions.
  • Healthy gums and commitment to routine hygiene and maintenance.
  • Bruxers and clenchers (with bite evaluation and night-guard when appropriate).

  • Implant crowns (all-ceramic)—customized emergence profile for hygiene access and gum health.
