Empress Veneers

[John K]

Hello

I have four old Empress Veneers on my front teeth which were done around a decade ago. The dentist that did them has since retired and the practice has been taken over by a new dentist.

I spoke to the new dentist and he said that Emax veneers have now replaced Empress veneers and are stronger and suggested replacing these empress veneers with new Emax veneers.

I agree with him that these old veneers look stained and need to be replaced but I wonder if its possible to replace these with Empress veneers as they have worked well on my teeth for 10 years. Are empress veneers still made and how long does it take to have them done?

Thank you for your question.

I think Empress Veneers are still available, although a lot of people have now switched to the more modern Emax Veneers. Empress Veneers would need 1-2 weeks to be made by the dental lab.
