A sparkling smile can be an enormous confidence-booster and have a dramatic effect on a person\u2019s appearance.&nbsp; Empress&reg; has been dedicated to creating natural-looking restorations for almost two decades and is one of the world leaders in dental ceramics. <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Empress&reg; veneers, crowns, onlays, overlays, and dental bridges are renowned for their strength, durability, and exceptional optical properties.&nbsp; Empress&reg; restorations are completely metal-free, and are constructed from inorganic material which is baked and cured at high temperatures.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><font style=\"FONT-SIZE: 16px\"><strong>Why should I choose Empress&reg; restorations?<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Empress&reg; is continually refining and enhancing restorations to ensure that they look natural and restore complete functionality to the teeth.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Traditional ceramic restorations were known for being brittle and expensive to repair after sustaining damage.&nbsp; However, Empress&reg; has developed a heat-pressed glass ceramic that is immensely strong and durable.&nbsp; There are several reasons for this, including the high shrinkage of leucite crystals.&nbsp; This shrinkage means that compressive stress is created during the vitreous stage, thus preventing breakage and cracking.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The unique veneer glaze and stain also increases strength by as much as 50%.&nbsp; These elements combined establish a thicker restoration that is fracture resistant.&nbsp; Empress&reg; crowns have a 100% chance of surviving the first three years.&nbsp; This means less dental visits, less expense, and a sensational, comfortable smile.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Here are some of the advantages associated with Empress&reg; restorations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div align=\"justify\">Biocompatible.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"justify\">Do not affect other dentition.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"justify\">Ease of application.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"justify\">Excellent polishing properties.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"justify\">Many levels of translucency available.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"justify\">Metal-free.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"justify\">Natural-looking.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"justify\">Shades match the other teeth.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>    <font style=\"FONT-SIZE: 16px\"><font style=\"FONT-SIZE: 16px\"><strong>What restorations can be done using Empress&reg; products?<\/strong><\/font> <\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Empress&reg; has created many natural-looking restorations, including:<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong>Empress&reg; Veneers <\/strong>&ndash; These veneers are wafer-thin porcelain and ceramic covers which fit permanently over natural teeth.&nbsp; Empress&reg; veneers are perfect for covering disfigured and stained teeth.&nbsp; They are stain and bacteria-resistant, strong, and can be manufactured to match the natural tooth shade.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong>Empress&reg; Crowns <\/strong>&ndash; These crowns are generally placed after root canal therapy or after the removal of tooth decay.&nbsp; Empress&reg; crowns are proven to last longer than many types of crowns, and again, can be matched exactly to the natural tooth shade.&nbsp; There is no visible, ugly metal edge, just a sensational end result.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong>Empress&reg; Inlays\/Onlays <\/strong>&ndash; Inlays and onlays are currently being used to replace the traditional amalgam fillings.&nbsp; Amalgam is unpleasant to view and unhealthy for the body.&nbsp; Empress&reg; ceramic inlays and overlays are strong, healthy, and usually invisible to onlookers.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong>Empress&reg; Bridges <\/strong>&ndash; As with all Empress&reg; products, Empress&reg; bridges are a completely natural-looking way to replace missing teeth.&nbsp; Metal bridges are often highly visible and make the teeth look shorter.&nbsp; Empress&reg; bridges are almost impossible to spot and restore symmetry and sparkle to the smile.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><em>If you have questions about any of the Empress&reg; restorations, please contact our office.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\n        <input type=\"button\" onclick=\"document.location.href='\/procedures\/restorations\/'\" value=\"&lt;&lt;\" class=\"Button\" onmouseout=\"this.className='Button'\" onmouseover=\"this.className='ButtonHover'\" id=\"ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_btnBack\" name=\"ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$btnBack\"><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Empress&reg;
