Abstract

Ceramic veneers can be offered as a treatment option in a wide variety of case, such as correcting tooth defects, abrasion, malalignment, diastema, tooth discoloration, coronal fracture or to adjust occlusion. Minor changes of shape, shade and position of teeth with ceramic veneers can dramatically alter the appearance of our patients. This paper describes the esthetic rehabilitation and smile designing of patients presenting with different problems with ceramic veneers.
