IPS e.max® PRESS is a highly aesthetic and durable dental material made from lithium disilicate glass-ceramic that is used for creating crowns, veneers, inlays, and onlays. Unlike CAD/CAM milled restorations, IPS e.max® PRESS is pressable—meaning the material is heated and pressed into a mold to form the restoration. This process allows for a highly precise fit and excellent aesthetic results. IPS e.max® PRESS is well-regarded for its strength, lifelike translucency, and ability to mimic natural tooth color. It is primarily used in anterior teeth and small bridges, providing both functional strength and high aesthetic appeal.
