Benefits of the
IPS Empress

Dental restorations shouldn’t stand out in your smile. Instead, they should seamlessly blend in with your natural teeth. The IPS Empress offers many highly aesthetic benefits to help patients achieve beautiful, natural-looking smiles. These benefits include:

  • Accurate shade matching
  • True-to-nature translucency and opacity
  • High luster polish for a long-lasting shine
  • Produces a natural fluorescence effect

The IPS Empress Process

The IPS Empress is used for restorative aesthetic proceeds. If you have chipped, broken, or damaged teeth, talk to your dentist to see if this procedure is right for you. We can help restore the appearance of your smile in 5 steps.

We’ll start by preparing your teeth and finding the correct shade of filling material that matches the current appearance of your teeth. After a shade is chosen, we’ll etch your teeth to prepare for bonding.

After your teeth have been prepared for this restorative procedure, we’ll apply bonding to your teeth and cure it for 10 seconds.

Next, we’ll fill the area, laying enamel and dentin, to restore the damage. With the variety of shades, IPS Empress allows us to effortlessly match the restoration to the color of your natural teeth.

Between each layer of enamel and dentin, we cure the material for 10 seconds using a special device to help ensure your newly restored tooth remains strong and long-lasting.

Once the filling is applied and cured, we’ll sculpt the filling to provide a natural appearance and polish the area for a smile that shines.

Find Your Match

Achieve your best smile yet with the help of IPS Empress. With 32 shade options, matching your filling to the rest of your teeth is made easy. See the difference and book an appointment for you or your family member today.
