Aesthetic Zirconia

Aesthetic zirconia you can count on

Achieve superior dental restorations and impressive cosmetic outcomes with Avant Dental’s premium aesthetic zirconia.

What is aesthetic zirconia?

Aesthetic zirconia has become the material of choice for Australian dentists who want to achieve the finest dental restorations and cosmetic outcomes.

Zirconia mimics the strength, durability and aesthetic appeal of natural teeth, and is often chosen over other resins, metals and porcelain as a superior material for permanent restorations and high-end cosmetic treatments.

How is aesthetic zirconia used?

Aesthetic zirconia is used to manufacture a wide range of dental restoration products. A zirconia crown is often favoured for tooth repair, particularly in the anterior region where its superior aesthetic performance is most valued. A zirconia bridge may be the preferred choice for patients with a missing tooth or teeth where permanent zirconia implants are not appropriate.

Zirconia can also be used in conjunction with ceramics to create a zirconia crown, or fused with porcelain to create a-porcelain fused to zirconia crown. A porcelain fused to zirconia crown generally uses layered porcelain on a zirconia base to create a bonded zirconia crown or zirconia bridge.

Why do dentists prefer zirconia?

Zirconia offers many benefits over other dental restoration materials. Zirconia is biocompatible, which means it is less likely to create an unwanted immune response or other biological reaction in the patient.

Zirconia is generally regarded as stronger than other dental restoration materials. It also features superior translucency, and the low-abrasion qualities of Avants Aesthetic Zirconia mimics the durability of natural enamel while being easier to grind and hand polish.

The colour stability and shade matching ability of Avants Zirconia is also highly regarded by cosmetic dentists, and the versatility of Zirconia makes it ideal for a full range of indications from a single posterior or anterior Zirconia crown to a full Zirconia bridge.

What makes Avant’s Aesthetic Zirconia special?

As a leading Zirconia lab in Australia, Avant has partnered with Aidite to bring the strongest, most translucent Zirconia material in the world today to Australian dentists.

Aidite 3D Pro Zir is changing the game for dental restorations. It uses a cutting-edge layering manufacturing process to achieve virtually chip-proof construction without the abrasiveness of inferior Zirconia products. In fact, Aidite 3D Pro Zir is around 10-times stronger than traditional layered ceramic, and is manufactured from the world’s finest Tosoh Zirconia powder.

Are zirconia veneers now possible?

Yes. Advances in zirconia manufacturing has led to developments of special zirconia veneer materials. It is now possible and suitable for the application of anterior aesthetic veneers with ultra-high strength and permeability. These Zirconia veneers with ultra-high transparency also exhibit superior strength than traditional glass ceramic veneer material such as lithium disilicate.

What Dentists Say About Us

I have been working with Avant for five and half years now. I switched between 5 different dental labs before finding Avant and I’ve been with them till now. It is a pleasure working with them in all aspects – specifically their customer care and support is the best. I truly recommend them to all dentists.

Dr Babak Moharrami, Practice Owner BMB Dental Clinic, Mona Vale NSW

I wanted to relay my experience so far with Avant as a clinician and as owner of Tranquility Dentistry. We engaged Avant on recommendation from a colleague, to perform some work. From the initial contact through every case so far we have received great support, timely communication and quality workmanship. The team at Avant have been receptive of feedback, and they encourage it to ensure their work is of the highest standard. In addition it is easy to get in touch to ask questions about laboratory jobs or assistance with treatment planning. All of this is boosted by the very reasonable pricing of their lab work. I have no issue continuing to use Avant for any future lab cases.

Dr Ben Cosson, Practice Owner Tranquility Dentistry, Yamanto QLD

I would happily recommend ADL to my colleagues for crown and bridgework as they perform in the important areas of price, quality and service. The price speaks for itself and I must confess I have paid more than twice as much elsewhere for inferior work. The quality of the crowns is excellent in appearance and fit. I rarely need to adjust the bite. Marginal fit and contacts are also excellent.

Service is excellent as on the rare occasion that things are not perfect I have phoned the Laboratory and the issue has quickly been rectified. My centre manager also likes ADL as she has no trouble with pick-ups and deliveries and finds communicating with ADL a pleasure. Wax-ups have been excellent and advice with Implant cases is always helpful.

I have no reservations in endorsing ADL.

Dr Colin Morrison, Lead Dentist Manuka ACT

I have used many dental labs in many countries over the past 23 years of my dental career. Using a dental lab that is out of our state, as my preference is a testament to Ian and his crew at Avant.

Ian is always available to discuss difficult cases and his friendly, professional and helpful nature combines well with his vast knowledge, experience and skill.

Almost 100% of the work fits first time, every time and on the rare occasion it does not fit Ian is always at hand to remedy the situation.

I can highly recommend Ian and his team, two thumbs up!
