Our dental laboratory specializes in lava crowns and lava bridges. We are an authorized 3M ESPE lava milling center that means each lava crown is barcoded for authenticity and is made from the finest zirconia available. Lava zirconia restorations are an ideal alternative to porcelain-fused to metal (PFM) restorations. The zirconium oxide achieves the beauty and translucency of natural teeth. Over time metal restorations can leave a dark metal margin where the gums recede, with lava zirconia it produces strong durable restoration and retains its original beauty for years.It is much better alternative for those patients who have concerns about metal.
