IPS e.max® Layered

 

At ROE, IPS e.max® layered restorations combine proven lithium disilicate cores with hand-layered porcelain, allowing our skilled ceramists to create complex characterizations, translucency variations, and intricate color matching that replicate natural tooth optical properties.

While requiring more lab time than monolithic options, these crowns offer unmatched versatility for challenging anterior aesthetic cases, particularly single crowns in the high-smile-line, or complex shade matching scenarios.

We accept both conventional and digital impressions with the same streamlined workflow as our other options.

The combination of strong lithium disilicate substructure with artistic porcelain layering makes IPS e.max layered crowns ideal when clinical success depends on both reliable strength and the highest level of aesthetic refinement.
