Fixed Restorations

Halo Porcelain Restorations


Halo Porcelain Restorations

Shofu's Vintage Halo porcelain system allows Selser Dental Lab's skilled ceramists to create restorations that achieve the natural opalescence, fluorescence and three-dimensional appearance that is identical to natural dentition. This startling new porcelain system has outstanding physical properties including greater strength, superb biocompatibility and a wear rate that is similar to natural enamel. Moreover, Vintage Halo Opal porcelain is similar in both particle distribution and structure to natural enamel... achieving ideal light refraction!

In fact, Vintage Halo is the only porcelain system that addresses the difficulty in shade selection due to the contrast between the red-violet color of the gingiva and the natural tooth. Shofu has solved this problem by introducing a "GUM®" gingival colored shade tab holder that's available in three gingival shades. Each GUMY® can hold up to three shade tabs... making it easy to obtain the ultimate aesthetic result.

Please send me more information about Halo Porcelain.

SelceramSM 24 Karat Gold Crowns

Selceram 24 Karat Gold CrownSelceramSM crowns and bridges from Selser Dental Lab provide the strength of conventional PFM's, but at a fraction of the thickness! The precision "Electroforming" process is what gives SelceramSM crowns and bridges its exceptional marginal fit of 10 microns or less... creating dimensionally stable copings for single crowns and bridges with a uniform, thin wall thickness between 1.6mm - 2.2mm. In fact, the warm, yellow gold of SelceramSM restorations allows for Halo porcelain to be applied in thin layers... achieving outstanding esthetics that harmonize with abutment teeth. All SelceramSM copings are made from a 24 karat gold alloy, which accounts for its high aesthetic value... tissue compatibility... and wide range of acceptable preparation choices.

Please send me more information about SelceramSM restorations.

ShadeEye-EX Chroma Meter

ShadeEye-EX Chroma MeterThe ShadeEye-EX Chroma Meter from Shofu is easy to use and unfailingly accurate! It eliminates virtually all the variables associated with shade taking such as lighting conditions, surrounding colors, subjective color selection and the like... to consistently measure the exact base shade of a patient's tooth... and then printing out a precise porcelain "recipe" for Vintage Halo porcelain! In fact, the ShadeEye-EX can specifically identify over 200 shades that are keyed to the Vintage Halo porcelain system.

Taking an accurate shade is the most critical facet of creating patient pleasing cosmetic restorations. As practitioner of fine dentistry, you'll find the ShadeEye-EX's computer generated shade selection system invaluable in taking predictable, accurate shades... without the stressful side-effects!

Please send me more information about the ShadeEye-EX.

Full Cast Restorations

Full Cast RestorationsLike all Selser restorations, our full cast restorations are created by technicians who have the highest level of understanding about bio-mechanics and the forces that impact dental restorations. This can readily been seen with proper coronal shapes that ensure self-cleansing characteristics... occlusal shaping conforming to the physiologic pattern of the oral cavity... gingival embrasures that are correct... contacts placed at just the right point... and a host of other engineering details that are the result of understanding the needs of you and your patient.

Selser Dental Lab fabricates its full cast restorations from a high, yellow gold alloy composed of gold, palladium and silver. Formulated for full cast crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays, this Type III Noble alloy will give your patients the biocompatibility and long term wear resistance for which gold is historically known.

Precision Attachments

Precision AttachmentsSelser Dental Lab has extensive experience with a host of precision attachments. However, we find one of the most frequently prescribed attachments is the Stern ERA.

The ERA is available in four {4} different degrees of "snap" retention...this male, nylon attachment creates a cushioned connection that virtually eliminates the metal wear experienced with conventional metal button attachments. The ERA means less abrasion... reducing the frequency of retention adjustments and breakage. However, when the nylon ERA requires replacement, your chair side time will only be about thirty seconds!
