Empress Veneers

What is an Empress Esthetic Veneer? 

In aesthetic dentistry, Empress veneer, a symbol of elegance and naturalness, is one of the prominent solutions for those who wish to improve their tooth appearance. Its metal-free porcelain structure, high light transmittance, and biological compatibility offer results closest to the natural tooth appearance. This method, particularly outstanding in anterior tooth aesthetics, provides both aesthetic and functional advantages.

Who Needs Empress Veneer?

We recommend Empress dental veneer applications in the following situations:

• For individuals with high aesthetic expectations,
• For those with shape, color, or size problems in their front teeth,
• For those with wear or cracks in their teeth,
• For those seeking a longer-lasting and more natural solution instead of fillings.

Can You Get Veneers for Every Single Tooth?

Empress veneer is generally preferred for anterior teeth due to its high aesthetic success in these areas. For posterior teeth, due to intense chewing forces, the application is planned after personalized evaluations.

When Is It Necessary?

The need for Empress dental veneers may arise in the following situations:

• Inability to remove discoloration or stains,

What’s Involved in Making Empress Dental Veneers?

The process in our clinic is as follows:

• Initial Examination: You discuss your expectations with your dentist, your oral health is evaluated, and a treatment plan is created.
• Tooth Preparation: A very thin layer is removed from the front surface of your teeth to ensure the veneers look natural. This procedure is generally performed under local anesthesia.
• Impression Taking: Detailed impressions of your prepared teeth are taken. These impressions are used to produce the veneers in the laboratory.
• Laboratory Production: Dental technicians prepare your custom veneers based on the impressions. This process takes a few days.
• Temporary Veneers: While your permanent veneers are being prepared, temporary veneers may be placed to protect your teeth and provide an aesthetic appearance.
• Final Try-in and Bonding: The color, shape, and size of your permanent veneers are checked. After your approval, the veneers are permanently bonded to your teeth with a special adhesive.

How Do I Care for Veneers?

To extend the life of your dental veneers and maintain your oral health, pay attention to the following points:

Care Instructions:

• Brush your teeth twice a day with a soft brush and fluoride toothpaste.
• Clean between your teeth and around the veneer edges daily using dental floss.
• Use an alcohol-free mouthwash recommended by your dentist.

Oral Hygiene:

• Clean your tongue to prevent bad breath.
• Go for regular dental check-ups at least twice a year.

Things to Avoid:

• Avoid biting on very hard foods like ice or hard candies.
• Be careful with sticky foods like jelly beans.
• Limit stain-causing substances like coffee, tea, and cigarettes.
• Consider using a night guard if you grind or clench your teeth.
• Avoid habits like nail-biting and chewing on pens.

Durability:

• With good care, your veneers typically last 10-15 years.

Follow-up Appointments:

• Schedule a check-up appointment within a few weeks after bonding.
• The condition of your veneers will be regularly evaluated during your routine check-ups.

Who is Not a Candidate for Empress Dental Veneers?

Alternative methods should be considered for the following individuals:

• Those with severe teeth grinding problems,
• Individuals with excessive chewing force,
• Those without sufficient support for posterior applications.

Zirconium Veneer or Empress Veneer?

While zirconium stands out in terms of durability, Empress veneer takes first place for aesthetic expectations. We make a personalized choice based on each individual's needs.

Empress Veneers vs. E-Max

Empress and E-Max are both excellent all-ceramic options for dental veneers. Empress is celebrated for its remarkable translucency, ideal for achieving a very natural look on front teeth. However, E-Max, being a newer lithium disilicate material, generally offers superior strength and durability, making it a more versatile and often preferred choice for both esthetics and resilience.

It is generally completed within 2-3 sessions. Thanks to digital technologies, the process is both comfortable and fast.

You can eat within a short period after the application is completed. It is recommended to avoid very hot or very cold foods for the first few hours.
