Virtually every practice in a dental group or DSO has patients who require a crown or bridge, but for clinical or financial reasons, are not ready for a permanent restoration. Some patients’ ongoing endodontic or implant treatment may cause the placement of a permanent crown or bridge to be delayed for several months, while financial difficulties may force other patients to delay the placement for several years.
In almost all cases, a provisional restoration has been the dentist’s only option. Unfortunately, the time between placing the provisional and placing the permanent restoration can, on occasion, take much longer than the life span of a typical provisional.
LuxaCrown is the missing element in restorative dental care; a perfect companion to traditional temporary crown and bridge materials such as Luxatemp Ultra. Before LuxaCrown, it would not have been possible to place a semi-permanent restoration that could be relied upon to hold up until the patient could return for a final restoration. Now, restorations using LuxaCrown will last up to five years, finally creating a solution for any patient situation.
Dentists today place high demands on temporary materials. Many of the materials cannot withstand stresses for very long, or the connection with the temporary cement quickly comes loose. It leads to awkward reconstructions and pain and frustration on the part of the patient plus lost time and money for your DSO. LuxaCrown prevents all of these problems from happening.
LuxaCrown is a self-curing composite for the fabrication of semi-permanent crowns and bridges that are cemented with a permanent or temporary luting cement. This unique product allows for the simple, quick and cost-effective manufacture of long-lasting crowns and bridges– directly chairside. The result is an incredible precise-fit, a highly esthetic and long-lasting restoration with excellent marginal fit and stability lasting up to five years. (See step-by-step video below.)
Offering high-strength, quality and reliability, LuxaCrown is characterized by natural fluorescence and high shade stability. A choice of five shades are available.
The DMG LuxaCrown material can be finished easily and quickly at chairside with fine diamond burs, polishers and polishing paste producing a smooth temporary restoration surface that is pleasant for patients.
Bridging the gap between simple temporary provisionals and permanent dental prostheses with its remarkable combination of strength, durability and esthetics, LuxaCrown will save your DSO time and money, increase production and provide patients with aesthetically pleasing results that improves patient experience.
COST SAVINGS FOR YOUR DSO
LuxaCrown chairside-produced restorations are significantly less expensive than lab-produced provisional restorations.

LuxaCrown semi-permanent restorations increase production and patient retention from new and current patients who need a long-lasting restoration but:
