At Burbank Dental Lab, we have found that dentists are looking for materials that go beyond just “good enough.” They want a crown that looks stunning under operatory lights and holds up under the grinding pressure of daily life. That’s precisely where ZIRMAX® ME from Burbank Dental Lab comes in—a zirconia crafted for clinicians who want it all: strength, aesthetics, reliability, and efficiency.
What is ZIRMAX ME?
Why Is Everyone Talking About It?
If you’ve been in the dental industry long enough, you’ve seen dental materials evolve from basic and bulky to bio-inspired and beautiful. ZIRMAX ME (short for multi-layered esthetic) represents the next generation of zirconia technology.
Think of it as the sweet spot between high-translucency zirconia and ultra-durable full-contour crowns. It’s engineered with a built-in gradient of translucency, meaning the material mimics natural enamel and dentin from incisal to cervical — without any need for manual layering. That’s less time in the dental lab and more consistent outcomes chairside.
And the best part? It’s all done with monolithic strength.

Why Dentists Are Switching to ZIRMAX ME
Let’s break down what makes ZIRMAX ME a standout — not just among zirconias, but across the entire landscape of dental restorative options.
1. Strength you can trust
Whether you’re treating a bruxer, a molar crown, or a short-span bridge, you need restorative materials that can take a hit repeatedly. ZIRMAX ME boasts flexural strengths over 1,000 MPa, meaning it’s built to last without compromising the patient’s function or peace of mind.
This strength extends to bridges up to four (4) units, including second premolars, giving clinicians flexibility without sacrificing longevity.
2. Natural aesthetics without straining or layering
The days of zirconia being viewed as “chalky” or “lifeless” are gone. ZIRMAX ME is crafted with improved translucency, providing lifelike esthetics — even in anterior zones where the stakes are high.
One of its standout features is its ability to avoid grayness in lighter shades, a common complaint with other zirconias. This makes shade matching smoother and outcomes more predictable, especially for cases that demand a seamless blend with adjacent natural teeth.
3. Time-saving workflow
Burbank Dental Lab built ZIRMAX ME with the dentist’s day in mind. Its monolithic design reduces the need for staining or veneering. This translates to fewer remakes, faster turnaround, and less chairside adjustment.
When paired with digital impressions and the expert case planning at Burbank Dental Lab, the entire workflow becomes faster, smoother, and more precise.
