Empress® Dental Restorations in Oklahoma City, OK

Dental restorations can be used to restore decayed teeth, replace missing teeth, or improve the appearance of a smile. Our dentist may recommend a dental restoration if a tooth has a large cavity, a crack, a chip, or significant wear and tear. Dental restorations are also often used after a tooth has undergone root canal therapy or after a tooth has been treated with a dental filling. Teeth restorations may also be used to correct minor alignment issues or spacing issues.

Empress Restoration System

At our dental office, we use the Empress restorations system to design and fabricate our dental restorations. Empress is known to be a world leader in dental ceramics, and their dental restorations are well-acclaimed for their high strength, durability, and aesthetics. 

An Empress restoration is made of Empress porcelain which is an advanced ceramic that is highly compatible with the body.

At our dental office, we manufacture each restoration using a special heat-pressed glass ceramic and a distinctive veneer glaze. The heat-pressed glass ceramic produces compressive stress during the manufacturing of the restoration, thus reducing the risk of breakage. The strength and durability of the restoration are enhanced by the veneer glaze, thus resulting in a long-lasting, aesthetic, and natural-looking dental restoration.
