With the introduction of IPS Empress Esthetic, featuring the new IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer Material, your IPS Empress Center can create pressed and layered restorations that truly mimic the beauty of natural teeth and conserve valuable tooth structure. In addition, the IPS Empress Esthetic material's color, clarity, strength, and leucite crystal distribution have all been enhanced resulting in improved strength and superior optical properties. IPS Empress Esthetic restorations are available from your IPS Empress Center in 11 ingot shades.  Two new shades have been added to complement the product portfolio and satisfy the need for bleach shades. Additionally, a newly created IPS Empress Esthetic Ingot Shade Guide has been developed to assist the clinician in determining the appropriate shade of ingot to prescribe.
