IPS Empress Inlay & Onlay
Empress has the strength and durability that patients can rely on. Inlays/onlays are custom-made pieces of ceramic that fit perfectly into place where cavities or old fillings used to be. Cemented into place inlays/onlays are designed to blend “invisibly” with the teeth, so they provide a natural look. Inlays and onlays tend to involve less drilling and produce a better aesthetic appearance. Unlike fillings, these procedures strengthen a tooth’s structure and tend to last longer than a filling.
Benefits of IPS Empress
Aesthetics
There is no metal or inner core so light is allowed to transmit through the restoration just as it does natural teeth. IPS Empress, with its revolutionary working technique, opens new horizons in the fabrication of true-to-nature restorations.
Increased durability and Excellent Fit
IPS Empress® Ceramic wears almost like tooth enamel. The Empress® system produces crowns, inlays/onlays and veneers, providing one of the strongest all-ceramic restorations available. IPS Empress gains its strength through bonding. Individually colored tooth restorations can be reproduced in exact shape and shade. The result is an individually fabricated restoration with excellent fit and all the characteristics of a natural tooth. Even when working in limited space, optimum aesthetic results can be obtained.
