Post and Core
Metal post and core reinforcement in a range of alloys for endodontically treated teeth.
View ProductLabour Day lab closure Monday 2nd October. Turnaround timeframes may be slightly affected.
Metal restorations have greater compressive and tensile strength than other materials, with minimal wear of the surrounding teeth. They’re also ideal for longevity, reliability and long-term durability, protecting the remaining tooth structure with excellent marginal integrity. Our metal restorations are certified by US IdentAlloy® for biocompatibility.
Type IV alloys suit single crowns to large bridges and implant superstructures and Type II alloys suit short-span bridges, single crowns, inlays, onlays and partial crowns.
