Why Choose Empress® Restorations?

Empress® continually refines its restorations to ensure natural appearance and full functionality. Traditional ceramic restorations were often brittle and costly to repair, but Empress® has developed a heat-pressed glass ceramic that is strong and durable. High shrinkage of leucite crystals creates compressive stress during the vitreous stage, preventing breakage and cracking. Additionally, the unique veneer glaze and stain increases strength by up to 50%, creating a thicker, fracture-resistant restoration. Empress® crowns have a 100% chance of surviving the first three years, reducing dental visits and expenses while providing a comfortable, beautiful smile.

Types of Empress® Restorations

  • Empress® Veneers: Wafer-thin porcelain and ceramic covers that permanently fit over natural teeth. Ideal for disfigured or stained teeth, they are strong, stain- and bacteria-resistant, and can match the natural tooth shade.
  • Empress® Crowns: Placed after root canal therapy or removal of decay, these crowns are durable and can be matched to the natural tooth shade, with no visible metal edges.
  • Empress® Inlays/Onlays: Replace traditional amalgam fillings. These ceramic inlays and onlays are strong, healthy, and usually invisible.
  • Empress® Bridges: Natural-looking bridges that replace missing teeth. Unlike metal bridges, Empress® bridges restore symmetry and a natural appearance that is difficult to detect.
