Amherst, NY - Ivoclar Vivadent has introduced its “IPS e.max Lab Finder,” a new resource available at www.ivoclarvivadent.com to help dentists locate one of the more than 6,000 laboratories in North America currently using the clinically proven IPS e.max all-ceramic system. Created in response to the overwhelming demand from dentists to easily identify laboratories that can fabricate IPS e.max crowns, inlays, onlays, thin veneers, abutments, and bridges, the “IPS e.max Lab Finder” enables dentists to work with laboratories already skilled in utilizing IPS e.max materials to ensure the best possible results for the patients. 

From the www.ivoclarvivadent.com homepage, simply clicking on the “IPS e.max Lab Finder” icon brings dentists to a search page, where they can identify laboratories either by name or by location. Selecting “Search By Location” takes the dentist to a map of their geographic area, underneath which is a list of the closest IPS e.max laboratories within 10, 50, and 100 miles (or kilometers) from which to choose. Selecting “Search By Name” allows the dentist to choose the state and type in the name of their current laboratory to see if it utilizes IPS e.max. 

Considering that the vast majority of cases today can be restored with IPS e.max—including single-unit posterior crowns—it behooves dentists to consult with their laboratory to see if they utilize IPS e.max and, if they don’t, to be able to easily identify a nearby laboratory that does. With the new “IPS e.max Lab Finder” tool, dentists can easily find the best dental laboratory to partner with to deliver great-looking and durable restorations for their patients.
