HeraCeram^® Zirkonia

HeraCeram – Simply perfect.

Ceramics that are perfectly adapted both in terms of their appearance and their technical properties: that means simple, reliable and fast processing with unbeatable aesthetic results. Each HeraCeram ceramic product is specifically tailored to suit your framework material. At the same time, every ceramic also offers consistent processing and high aesthetics for perfect results that you can rely on.

Optically perfect – with high-purity quartz glass
Synthetic quartz glass is your guarantee of superior quality for all HeraCeram ceramics. Thanks to its extreme purity, it offers unique aesthetic properties, e.g. opalescence and fluorescence from within.

Technically perfect – with a stabilised leucite structure (SLS)
The stabilised leucite structure (SLS) ensures that HeraCeram ceramics are particularly resistant to stress. And the consistent level of microfine leucite crystals makes chipping a thing of the past.

Simply perfect – with a consistent processing philosophy
All HeraCeram ceramics are processed in exactly the same simplified way – allowing you to maximise your efficiency. There is also an added bonus: expensive firing time can be saved thanks to shorter firing and cooling times depending upon your preferred technique.

Technically perfect –with a stabilised leucite structure (SLS).

All HeraCeram ceramics are able to combine time saving processes with the highest levels of stress resistance. This is due to what we term as Stabilised Leucite Structure or SLS. All ranges of HeraCeram including Zirkonia contain micro-fine Leucite particles which substantially reduce the susceptibility of chipping and fracture. So less stress in the restoration and also less stress for you! The secret behind our SLS formula is its composition combined with a specialised production process. The combination of balanced Leucite crystals and specialised manufacturing prevents an uncontrollable rise in the coefficient of thermal expansion during firing. So no matter if the ceramic is bonded to metal or to zirkonia oxide there will be less stress meaning less failures.

Because of the SLS formula, HeraCeram ceramics are extremely robust and can be fired quickly, efficiently, reliably and consistently. A huge range of benefits that should satisfy every dental technician:
