What is Polychromatic Shade™? Polychromatic Shade™ is Dandy's breakthrough innovation in crown aesthetics. Using advanced digital design and a patented manufacturing process, it builds colour dimensionally across the crown — delivering seamless colour transitions, natural incisal translucency, and optical depth that rivals natural teeth. The result is a high-strength zirconia crown that looks like it belongs in the mouth, without the price tag of a boutique lab.

When will Polychromatic Shade™ be available to customers?

Real orders will be shipping in Summer 2026!

How does it work? Traditional aesthetic crowns rely on skilled ceramists who hand-stain each unit — a time-intensive process that drives costs to $300–$400 per crown. Polychromatic Shade™ replicates that master-level result through a digitally driven, multi-phase shading system that is proprietary and exclusive to Dandy. No hand-painting. No compromise on quality.

How much does it cost? A zirconia crown with Polychromatic Shade™ will be around $99–109 — the same price as a standard Dandy zirconia crown. You get premium aesthetics without having to choose between quality and cost.

When will this be available? Soon, Polychromatic Shade™ will be available for single-unit zirconia crowns in shades A1, A2, and A3, for both anterior and posterior cases. Because this is a new technology, we are rolling it out carefully with strict quality controls. Bridges and implant restorations will follow after that.

Is it available for custom shades? Not yet — custom shade support is coming in 2026. In the meantime, if shade matching is a concern, we recommend our Shade Remake Killer service, which sends you three crowns with slightly different shades so you can find the perfect fit. It has a 97% success rate.

What if I'd like a free sample? If you're already a Dandy customer, we will soon be providing a free sample in the form of a complimentary case — for you to try it out for yourself. Stay tuned for an email from us!
