Now, with the IPS Empress all-ceramic, metal-free restorative material, you CAN have the healthy, beautiful
and natural-looking smile you've always wanted!
20 years of clinical experience gives you a good feeling. You can depend on
the time-tested and aesthetic IPS Empress System.
The IPS Empress ceramic is made of an extremely
homogeneous leucite-based material, which scatters light like natural enamel and blends in well with its
surroundings. Restorations fabricated with the material exhibit lifelike translucency and a true-to-nature appearance.
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. IPS Empress Crowns can be placed on your front or back teeth and, because they are metal-free,
you won't see a black or other tell-tale dark line around your gumline.
