Abstract

If you've ever wondered why so many individuals in public life have such perfect smiles, you might be surprised to find out how many of them have had cosmetic dental work. One way that we can make your smile more attractive is to place porcelain laminate veneers. They require a minimal amount of tooth reduction (approximately. 5 mm) and are, therefore, a more conservative restoration than a crown. They allow us to alter tooth position, shape, size and color. They are not the only alternative for all esthetic abnormalities but are truly a remarkable restoration when they are the treatment of choice. The following case report highlights the improvement of esthetics in spaced upper anterior teeth with porcelain laminate veneers.
