PORCELAIN/CREATION-FAQ
Q: DOES CREATION HANDLE DIFFERENTLY FROM OTHER PORCELAINS?
A: In order to achieve optimal results with Creation, it's necessary to follow some rules of thumb that will ensure a trouble-free and satisfying build-up process. When you adhere to the 10 tips every Creation user should follow, the porcelain is a reliable, easy to use product.
Q: CREATION IS "IRIDESCENT." WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
A: According to Willi Geller, when something is iridescent it reflects all colors of the spectrum. This phenomenon is evident when the sun shines on a drop of oil on a driveway. Natural teeth reflect all colors of the spectrum too. Because of its unique composition, Creation porcelain also reflects the colors of the rainbow which means your restorations will look vital and natural in the mouth.
Q: IS CREATION MORE EXPENSIVE THAN OTHER PORCELAINS?
A: Gram for gram, Creation is competitively priced. Especially when you consider what makes up the cost of a crown. Moreover, Creation offers extensive volume discounts when you purchase larger quantities including the popular "six packs" and 50 and 250 gram bottles.
Q: DOES CREATION WORK WELL IN A "PRODUCTION" SETTING?
A: Yes, Creation was designed for those who spend a great deal of time on one unit as well as for those who produce many a day. The system was designed such that a unit can be fabricated using a simple 3-powder build-up. For more information on how Creation is incorporated into a large lab, please contact your Jensen Sales Consultant.

Q: HOW ACCURATE ARE THE SHADES?
A: Nothing matches the Vita Lumin® shade guide more precisely than Creation porcelain. This saves time, money and eliminates frustration.
Q: WHAT MAKES THE SHADE WHEELS SO SPECIAL?
A: Creation shade wheels are made by hand in Austria. While some manufacturers use plastic tabs to represent color, Creation's shade tabs are fabricated from the porcelain itself. This means your tabs will exactly match the bottled product.
