The seating of esthetic restorations is very demanding. The Effect shade range of Variolink Esthetic, which comprises a well-balanced and compact selection of shades, enables you to place your restorations seamlessly within the natural dentition, thereby further customizing the results.
The Effect shades allow dental professionals to match the shade effect of the restoration to that of the adjacent natural teeth. The “Neutral” shade demonstrates the highest translucency level and therefore enables colour-neutral luting of the restoration. The shades “Light” and “Light+” produce a gradual lightening effect, while the shades “Warm” and “Warm+” gradually darken the overlying ceramic or composite restoration.
Our Variolink Esthetic Try-In pastes help you to choose the most suitable shade to use. They allow you to try in your restorations and check the final esthetic outcome quickly and effortlessly.
