Send us your indication split, posterior units, anterior singles, long-span frameworks, and a USDD lab specialist will map it onto the VITA range and price it.
Every figure in this table is read from the live US Dental Depot catalog listing for VITA. Where a value is not published by the manufacturer it is left blank rather than estimated.

Zirconia is not interchangeable at the furnace. Ask us for the published ramp, dwell and cool-down for the exact series you are considering, and we will send it before you order.
Honest trade-offs. Every zirconia brand is a compromise between translucency, strength, price and catalog depth, here is where VITA sits.
Send your current disc invoice. We will line it up shade for shade and thickness for thickness against this range and show you where the difference actually is.
Six buyer profiles and the disc decision each one usually lands on.
Aconia ST-PRE and GUSROM 3D PREMIUM are the value-tier lines in the lineup with full shade coverage; compare their live prices at the USDD store.
VITA Dental Direkt DD cubeX2 ML and GC Initial ZR ML ELITE, the two most controlled multilayer gradients USDD carries.
Look at 22–25 mm blanks, and at 30 mm where the job needs it: Aconia, DIGITECH, HUGE Dental, MIIYEN and VITA cube ONE all list 30 mm.
Buy in small counts of 14–16 mm pre-shaded multilayer. UP3D 4D Multilayer is matched to UP3D mills you may already own.
VITA Dental Direkt and Amann Girrbach ZOLID both span monolayer through high-translucency multilayer in one ecosystem.
Test GUSROM or LUMIX against your current sintering profile on a single disc before switching a shade family.
The six variables that decide whether a blank fits your mill, your furnace and your case.
Nine of the ten brands USDD stocks are built on the 98.5 mm blank with a standard step. Thickness is the variable that changes, not diameter, so a disc that fits one open-system mill usually fits the next.
12–14 mm covers single crowns and thin veneers. 16–18 mm is the workhorse for bridges and multi-unit anteriors. 20–25 mm is what you need for full-arch, implant bars and long-span frameworks.
Multilayer (4D / ML / gradient) discs carry shade and translucency transitions already inside the blank, so an anterior crown comes out of the mill closer to final. Monolayer pre-shaded discs cost less and stain up predictably.
Higher yttria content buys translucency and costs flexural strength. High-translucency 4Y/5Y layers suit anteriors; 3Y-TZP high-strength layers belong under posterior and long-span work.
Pre-shaded blanks remove the colouring-liquid step, the drying wait and the shade drift that comes with it. Every brand in this lineup is available pre-shaded across the VITA classical range.
Zirconia is not interchangeable at the furnace. Each brand publishes its own ramp, dwell and cool-down. Running brand A's schedule on brand B's disc is the fastest route to a cracked case.
Ten zirconia disc brands, 868 SKUs, one supplier. Open any brand to see its series, thickness ladder and shade coverage.
USDD is an authorized US distributor for the brands on this page. Discs, mills, furnaces and finishing consumables ship on one account with one point of contact.
Every count on this page is read from the live USDD catalog. When a shade or thickness is out, we tell you the lead time instead of taking the order and going quiet.
English and Spanish technical support for labs across the US and Latin America, sintering schedules, mill compatibility and shade matching, not just order entry.
Dental Direkt is the German zirconia house behind the VITA-distributed disc program. US Dental Depot catalogs 161 SKUs from 3Y-TZP high strength through 5Y super-high-translucent cubic, with 22 shades cataloged on the 98.5 mm standard blank.
The nine catalog series are DD Bio ZW iso, DD Bio ZX2, DD Bio ZX2 Color, DD cube ONE, DD cube ONE ML, DD cubeX2, DD cubeX2 ML, DD cubeY HL and VITA Nacera Pearl. Nacera Pearl is a separate product line with its own parameters.
Yttria class is published per series (3Y-TZP HT, 4Y cubic, 5Y SHT) instead of a generic multilayer label, so one supplier covers posterior frameworks and anterior singles. It is German manufacture with full technical documentation and a published sintering program.
US Dental Depot's buyer guide points aesthetic anterior labs to VITA Dental Direkt DD cubeX2 ML and GC Initial ZR ML ELITE. For a lab standardising on one brand, VITA Dental Direkt and Amann Girrbach ZOLID both span monolayer through high-translucency multilayer in one ecosystem.
Overlapping series mean someone in the lab has to learn which one to reach for, and Nacera Pearl has its own parameters as a separate product line.
No. Zirconia is not interchangeable at the furnace. Each brand publishes its own ramp, dwell and cool-down, and running one brand's schedule on another brand's disc is the fastest route to a cracked case. Ask US Dental Depot for the published schedule for the exact series and it will be sent before you order.
