Lithium Disilicate Crowns, Inlays, Onlays
Lithium disilicate is a glass‑ceramic material known for itsblend of translucency, strength, and esthetics. It’s digitally designed andmilled, then crystallized and finished to deliver accurate margins, consistentcontacts, and a natural, enamel‑like appearance. Its balance of beauty andfunction makes it especially well‑suited for anterior and premolar work.

FAQ
Is lithium disilicate the same as e.max?
Lithium disilicate is the material category. e.max is the most widely recognized brand within that category.
Is it strong enough for posterior use?
It works well in premolars but may not be ideal for molars or heavy bruxing without additional support.
How is it bonded or cemented?
Lithium disilicate supports adhesive bonding. Follow material specific cementation guidelines. We etch internal surfaces of all crowns for superior bonding.
How thin can it be prepped?
It supports conservative preparations, making it suitable for veneers and minimally invasive designs.
Will it match natural enamel?
Yes. Its translucency and light behavior allow it to blend naturally into the smile line.
