IPS e.max® Monolithic
At ROE, IPS e.max monolithic crowns represent one of our three primary monolithic options, delivering 530MPa flexural strength, making it a strong restoration option suitable for most patient cases.
The IPS e.max provides translucency that closely mimics natural tooth structure while requiring minimal preparation to preserve valuable tooth structure, delivering excellent biocompatibility and predictable outcomes for crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers.
We accept both conventional PVS impressions and digital scans from all major systems, offering model-free fabrication with turnaround times of three days for digital submissions and four days for digitized PVS impressions.
This combination of superior strength, natural esthetics, and streamlined workflow makes IPS e.max an ideal lower-cost solution for single-unit cases where both durability and esthetics are essential.
