Complete the System
Everything You Need.
The Ceramix Nano is your starting point. Add Ceramix capsules for your preferred shades and the optional Aesthetic Kit for premium anterior finishing.
Optional Aesthetic Curing
Regular Cure → Strength.
Gas Cure → Aesthetics.
Standard curing in the Ceramix Nano brings Lumicera resin to full mechanical strength — 200 MPa, 10 million chewing cycles. For most posterior cases that’s everything you need.
For premium anterior finishing, the optional Aesthetic Kit adds N2/CO2 gas curing after stain and glaze — locking in a flawless, lifelike surface finish in approximately 30 seconds of oxygen-free curing.
Running Cost
Standard N2/CO2 cartridges (3/8″-24 UNF) — under $2 each, ~5 curing cycles per cartridge. Available anywhere online. Less than $0.40 per restoration.
