5 Steps to Achieving a Seamless Smile
In 5 simple steps, we can restore your teeth using the IPS Empress. This device can layer enamel and dentin material of different translucencies for seamless, natural-looking results. We’ll determine the right shade for your teeth, bond, fill, and cure the restoration before finishing and polishing up our work.
Step 1: Preparing Your Teeth
We’ll begin by determining what shades will best match the rest of your teeth. Once the correct shades are chosen, we’ll prepare your teeth by etching them, which allows your teeth to better absorb the bonding materials.
Step 2: Bonding
Now that your teeth have been etched, the bonding material can be applied to the treatment area. The bonding is then cured for 10 seconds using a specialty LED light.
Step 3: Enamel & Dentin Fillings
Next, we’ll apply layers of enamel and dentin. This step is how we build up the newly restored tooth. Layering the different shades of enamel and dentin provides a natural-looking appearance.
Step 4: Curing
After each layer of enamel and dentin material is applied, it needs to be cured for 10 seconds using a specialty LED light. Curing creates a strong, long-lasting bond.
Step 5: Finishing & Polishing
Once your tooth is restored, your dentist can shape it to create a natural appearance. The restored tooth can then be polished for a stunning finished product.d to clear aligners. During your consultation, we’ll assess your teeth and bite and explain whether Invisalign is an appropriate option for you.
