Mimic Nature Perfectly

In this era of social media and ever-brighter Hollywood smiles, the pursuit of flawlessness dominates all else. But as dental professionals, we know that natural smiles are beautifully imperfect — with subtle characteristics driving the esthetic appeal. Fusion with BruxZir™ Zirconia lets you recreate those natural imperfections perfectly. It’s the restorative solution for dentists and patients who desire a shift back to realism.

For Those Who Love Natural Beauty

While patients today may feel pressured to chase the unnatural look of influencers and celebrities, many simply want to be the best version of themselves. Fusion with BruxZir Zirconia is designed with that authenticity in mind. It takes everything beautiful about real dentition — the morphology, color gradation and translucency — and replicates it in an idealized way.

All Fusion with BruxZir photos are unedited and unenhanced. Crowns #6–11 were crafted by Thang Tran, a Glidewell ceramist with 25 years of experience.

What Is Fusion with BruxZir Zirconia

Fusion with BruxZir Zirconia is a modernized bilayer restoration where zirconia is joined to zirconia.

Each Fusion restoration’s inner core is shaped with mamelons and internal anatomy, while the wraparound veneer allows light to shine through the facial, incisal and interproximal surfaces. Together, these features create an appearance that’s virtually indistinguishable from nature.

Anatomically shaped core establishes
strength, color and depth

Wraparound veneer lets light pass through
incisal and interproximal surfaces

How it Works

Two Materials
Two distinct BruxZir® formulations — Full-Strength and Radiant — are independently milled to recreate anatomy
With Distinct Characteristics & Benefits
Both zirconias provide a distinct level of translucency and reflectivity, just like natural tooth layers
Fused to Become One
A proprietary process joins the two zirconias together, creating a bilayered form that mimics the dentin-enamel relationship

Innovation at Glidewell

Glidewell is best known for its monolithic materials, namely BruxZir Zirconia. So why the apparent course change with the bilayer Fusion with BruxZir Zirconia? In short, technology has made something new possible, but the mission remains the same.

Our focus has always been on using the latest innovations to offer solutions that benefit dentists — to invent or otherwise adopt systems that expand access to excellent lab services. For nearly the last two decades, monolithic all-ceramic restorations have represented the best technology available for most clinical situations. And still today, monolithic solutions should be your choice for most scenarios, especially in the posterior or when strength is the primary concern.

At Glidewell, we’ve learned lessons from monolithic restorations — milling strategies, workflow digitization and materials science — and devised a new solution that’s much closer in form and appearance to a real tooth. The result is Fusion with BruxZir Zirconia, a modernized bilayer restoration that marks our company’s most significant step toward revolutionizing the anterior.

Performance Guaranteed

Born out of the legendary BruxZir brand, Fusion with BruxZir restorations share in the defining qualities that BruxZir Zirconia is best known for — performance, predictability and accessibility. And if there is ever a problem, all Fusion restorations are backed by Glidewell’s lifetime warranty and no-fault remake policy.
