Artistic Dental Design, Inc. is a certified Ivoclar Empress lab.
All work is completed in our lab. We do not outsource or sub-contract your work.
Ivoclar replaced Empress II with an improved material / system called IPS Empress Esthetic. The Empress Esthetic has improved color, clarity, and strength. Additionally, the Lucite reinforced Glass Ceramic crystal distribution has been enhanced.
If you liked Empress and Empress II, you'll be impressed with the improvements that come with Empress Esthetic!
Ivoclar North America supplies the materials - we fabricate the crowns and laminates -

With this new IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer Material, we can create pressed and layered porcelain restorations that truly mimic the beauty of natural teeth and conserve valuable tooth structure.
Empress laminate  
IPS Empress Esthetic restorations are available in 11 ingot shades. Two new shades have been added to satisfy the increasing demand for bleach shades.
Another improvement; a new Empress Esthetic Ingot Shade Guide has been developed to assist the clinician in determining the appropriate shade of ingot to prescribe.
