Strong and Beautiful!
	... the All-Ceramic crown for all positions in
the mouth

The coping is produced in an industrial process known as Procera®, which ensures optimal fit, great strength, non-porosity and has the ability to transmit light without being transparent.

Procera's aluminum oxide coping is a highly bio-compatible material, comparable to titanium ,which minimizes the risk of allergic reaction. When combined with Procera All-Ceram Porcelain these characteristics are put to their very best advantage.

The porcelain has been especially adapted to the coping's translucence and fluorescence which opens an entirely new era in the history of using porcelain in dentistry.

IPS Empress is a Leucite reinforced all-ceramic material that IPS Empress is a Leucite reinforced all-ceramic material that utilizes pressing of a softened ceramic ingot. The layering technique is utilized to fabricate full crowns and the shading technique is utilized on inlays, onlays and veneers.

IPS Empress has enamel-like wear characteristics and is kind to opposing natural dentition. There is no metal or inner core so light is allowed to transmit through the restoration just as it does natural dentition. IPS Empress, with its revolutionary working technique, opens new horizons in the fabrication of true-to-nature restorations.

IPS Empress must be bonded as it gains it' s strength through bonding. Also, bonding must be complete prior to checking the occlusion to eliminate fracturing the restoration.

FACINGS
The Conservative Cosmetic Restoration!

A Reflection of Mother Nature...
Facings are a conservative method of treatment for reshaping teeth, diastema closure, chipped teeth, tooth lengthening and color change.

Facings do not require provisionals in most cases and there is no invasion of tissue which usually means no anesthesia. Hence, they are the ideal treatment plan for patients with healthy teeth and tissue. Facings can be fabricated with empress I and Procera Alumina, resin or all-ceramic materials.

Facings Preparation

Inlays/Onlays

Cosmetic dentistry has focused on achieving natural looking dentition that maintains function and and strength yet allows natural light transmission.

Inlays and onlays fabricated with resin provides patients with natural looking esthetic results and in most cases reinforces tooth structure. Composite resin inlays/onlays are the most popular today because they are kinder to opposing natural dentition than porcelain and once bonded in place their strength compares with porcelain.

Silver colored amalgams or gold restorations have had their place in history in recreating the natural contours and function of posterior teeth but todays' patients prefer inlays/onlays the color of their natural dentition.

Offer that "Perfect Smile" to all your patients with Inlay or Onlay restorations!
