Lithium Disilicate
Best for: Strength, versatility, and natural translucency
Lithium disilicate, marketed as IPS e.max®, is the gold standard for modern cosmetic and restorative dentistry. Known for its exceptional durability and lifelike aesthetics, it’s ideal for veneers, crowns, inlays, onlays, and bridges. This material offers a perfect balance of strength and translucency, allowing restorations to blend seamlessly with surrounding teeth while withstanding everyday function.
Why We Recommend It:
Highly esthetic for front teeth and durable enough for back teeth
Suitable for a wide range of cases
Long-lasting with proper care
Feldspathic & Leucite-Reinforced Ceramics
Best for: Superior light reflection and natural enamel aesthetics
Feldspathic and leucite-reinforced ceramics, such as EmpressCAD Multi and TriLuxe Forte, are prized for their unmatched ability to replicate the optical qualities of natural enamel. These materials offer a built-in multi-layer gradient—mimicking the natural transition from dentin to enamel. EmpressCAD Multi features a leucite-reinforced glass ceramic for added strength without sacrificing beauty.
These ceramics are ideal for highly visible front teeth where lifelike translucency, depth, and vibrancy matter most. Designed, milled, and finished entirely in-house, they allow Dr. Hoss to deliver restorations that balance precision with artistic detail—without the need for a laboratory.
Why We Recommend It:
-
Brilliant translucency for the most natural-looking results
-
Layered shade and depth of color for ultimate realistic outcomes
-
Ideal for cosmetic cases with high aesthetic demand
-
CAD/CAM fabrication ensures accuracy, while hand-finishing adds artistry
-
Ultimate in artistic customization
-
Ideal for highly visible front teeth
-
Extremely natural light reflection and depth

3D-Printed Hybrid Ceramic
Best for: No-prep and minimal-prep veneers, conservative restorations, efficiency, and cost-conscious patients
Hybrid ceramics combine advanced ceramic particles with a resin matrix, creating a unique material that is strong, slightly flexible under bite pressure, and exceptionally gentle on natural tooth structure. At HOSS DDS, we use advanced 3D printing technology to design and produce these restorations with unmatched digital precision—entirely in-house.
For carefully selected patients, hybrid ceramics are the ideal solution for no-prep or minimal-prep veneers, allowing us to transform the smile while preserving almost all of the natural enamel. They are the closest modern equivalent to traditional composite veneers—or “bonding”—but significantly better: they offer greater strength, improved stain resistance, more precise contours, and a luxuriously refined finish.
Hybrid ceramics also offer exceptional efficiency—reducing turnaround times—and a more cost-effective path to a beautiful, custom-designed smile without compromising on quality.
Why We Recommend It:
-
Perfect for eligible patients seeking ultra-conservative veneer treatment
-
Digital design ensures precision fit and seamless margins
-
More durable, stain-resistant, and aesthetically consistent than bonding
-
Gentle on opposing teeth and highly comfortable to wear
-
Faster turnaround and excellent value for cost-conscious patients
