IPS Empress

IPS Empress Metal-free Restorations Provide Exceptional Translucency & Strength!

IPS Empress restorations from Central Dental Lab Toronto provide exceptional accuracy of fit for anterior & posterior crowns, inlays, onlays and veneers. Using the lost wax technique, Empress glass-ceramic is processed with a computerized heat & pressure injection molding system. This precision control of the casting process ensures marginal integrity and reduces the chance for secondary decay. Since Empress virtually eliminates marginal breakdown, margins can end at or above the gingival margin... avoiding the need to traumatize tissue in supergingival preparations.

IPS Empress' strength is derived from a leucite reinforced glass-ceramic that wears the same as natural tooth enamel. Once the Empress glass-ceramic ingots are casted, they are placed on dies that match the shade of the prepared tooth for precise shading and characterization. The finished Empress restoration will satisfy your clinical demands for anatomy and function... and your patient's desire for natural vitality & translucency..


Procera

PROCERA All-Ceramic... Strength and Beauty for Anterior and Posterior Crowns

Procera anterior and posterior crowns from Central Dental Lab Toronto combine the highest standards of aesthetics and function with the ease of traditional crown & bridge preparation and cementation. Procera, is the bio-ceramic for crowns of vital beauty... and the strength of 687 mega-pascals from its sintered aluminum oxide coping. Once Nobel Biocare precision mills the coping through CAD / CAM technology, Central's skilled ceramists layer the coping with Procera AllCeram, the low fusing porcelain with natural fluorescence and translucency that allows characterizations and natural shade blending without opacity... and it's 70% kinder to opposing teeth than high fusing porcelains.

Best of all, Procera can be seated with zinc phosphate, glass ionomer or chemically hardening composite cement!
