Abstract
The increasing demand for aesthetics has resulted in the development of several techniques in dentistry, mainly to restore anterior teeth. Meanwhile, conservative treatments should always be the first therapeutic option for any type of restoration. Thus, the solution of aesthetic problems involving morphological changes or diastemas should respect the minimally invasive dentistry’s standards. In this context, ceramic veneers represent the best choice providing great reproduction of natural appearance, a color stability and periodontal biocompatibility. However, they have to be properly indicated by the dentist. Besides, the clinical procedure is still considered as complicated and requiring a high level of proficiency. This paper reports a clinical case where anterior diastemas were aesthetically corrected using ceramic veneers.
