Empress Veneers
BEFORE
AFTER
Veneers are custom-made, thin ceramic shells that are placed on the front of teeth using very strong cement. They can be used by your dentist to correct and treat a variety of dental conditions, including discolored teeth, crooked teeth, chips, cracks, and wear. Because they are made specifically for you, veneers look and feel natural, giving you a whiter, straighter, and pleasing looking smile.
THE BEST IS EVEN BETTER Empress Bridges
BEFORE
AFTER
Bridges are all-ceramic restorations that span the space created by a missing tooth and are held into place by two crowns, one on each tooth on either side of the space. Not only do dental bridges fill the space left by a missing tooth, but they also help maintain the position of your other teeth, enhance the look of your smile, and make it easier to eat the foods you love.
Empress Inlays/Onlays
They are so pleased with the results, how quickly they could be achieved, and how painless the process was. In fact, they are wondering why they waited so long. In most cases, only minimal amounts of their own natural tooth structure were removed throughout the dental treatments.
BEFORE
AFTER
Inlays/onlays are custom-created pieces of ceramic that fit perfectly into place where cavities or old fillings used to be. Cemented into your natural tooth inlays/onlays blend “invisibly” with the rest of your teeth, so they provide a natural look.
We encourage you to read their stories and see for yourself their unique and inspiring smile and lifestyle makeover results. Talk to your dentist about how changing your smile with Empress could change your life.
Empress Crowns
BEFORE
AFTER
Crowns, sometimes called caps, are porcelain coverings cemented into place over the entire tooth. They are used by dentists when a tooth has had large fillings, extensive cavities or damage, or is too weak. Empress crowns can be placed on your front or back teeth and, because they are metal-free, they look natural and you won't see a black tell-tale dark line around your gumline.
