ABSTRACT
One of the primary challenges in contemporary dentistry is the restoration of a patient's lost dental aesthetics. To address this, a continuous stream of new therapeutic methods and technologies is emerging. When it comes to anterior teeth—where appearance is particularly critical—many dental professionals opt for more conservative and visually appealing solutions, such as direct and indirect laminate veneers, rather than full-ceramic crowns. Veneers have rapidly become one of the most impactful advancements in dental treatment. These are thin layers of tooth-colored materials applied to teeth to improve aesthetic concerns related to discoloration or structural irregularities. Effective restorations must meet mechanical, biological, and aesthetic standards. Patients often face significant aesthetic concerns due to issues with the color, shape, structure, or alignment of their front teeth. This report presents a clinical case involving porcelain laminate veneers fabricated using computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology.
