Empress veneers are a type of porcelain veneer used in cosmetic
dentistry, entirely ceramic-based and metal-free. They are
particularly notable for their natural appearance and
light-permeable structure, especially in the front teeth. They
offer aesthetic results that closely resemble the natural
structure of the tooth.
The empress coating process is planned digitally with CAD/CAM
technology.
Teeth are prepared and impressions are taken
The measurement taken is modeled in a digital environment.
Empress blocks are carved in accordance with aesthetics and
function.
The prepared veneers are bonded to the teeth in the second
session.
The treatment is completed by performing the necessary
compliance checks.
This procedure, which is completed in two sessions, is a
minimally invasive method and interferes with the dental tissue
as little as possible.
What are the advantages?
Offers a natural appearance: Thanks to its light
transmittance, it is almost identical to the natural tooth.
Metal-free: No dark color transition occurs on the gums.
High color stability: Does not yellow or change color over
time
High compatibility: Exactly compatible coatings are prepared
with digital production
Comfortable: Provides a smooth and compatible surface in the
mouth.
It is long-lasting: With proper maintenance and regular
checks, it can be used for many years without any problems.
In Which Situations Is It Preferred?
If there is a need for an aesthetic appearance in the front
teeth
If the natural form of the tooth is damaged
In cases where composite filling is insufficient
If part of the tooth is broken or worn down
If the tooth needs to be strengthened after root canal
treatment
How Long Is The Treatment Duration?
The empress veneer application is typically completed in two
sessions. In the first session, the tooth is prepared,
impressions are taken, and the temporary veneer is applied. In
the second session, the permanent veneer, prepared in a
laboratory, is applied. The entire process takes approximately
one week.
Durability and Maintenance
Empress veneers, thanks to their strong ceramic material, are
resistant to the forces of daily chewing. Regular oral hygiene
and six-month dental checkups can extend the life of the
veneers. It's recommended to avoid biting extremely hard foods.
