3M™ Lava™ Esthetic
Turnaround Days In-House: 6 Days
Product Description
The first Esthetic Fluorescent Full-Contour Zirconia featuring one-of-a-kind gradient shading technology. Why do these restorations look natural whether in daylight, sunshine or black light? The answer is simple: Excellent shade match to VITA® Classic shades*, high translucency optimized for esthetic full-contour restorations, and inherent toothlike fluorescence for all shades. Plus, 800 MPa 3-point bonding strength solves typical glass ceramic cases with more confidence.
* True color match to Vita® Classic shades: Bleach, A1, A2, A3, A3.5, A4, B1, B2, B3, B4, C1, C2, C3, C4, D2, D3, D4
Before adding it to our product line, Distinctive Dental Studio, Ltd. tested 3M™ Lava™ Esthetic with select clients (for over one year) and garnered excellent results.
