The success of anterior esthetic rehabilitation depends on the resolution of initial esthetic issues, patient satisfaction, and good integration of the restoration with the surrounding tooth and soft tissues. Porcelain laminate veneers are thin facings of ceramic that have evolved since 1983 to become the esthetic alternative to full coverage restorations. By the advent of new materials and techniques based on the principles of adhesive dentistry, extremely minimal preparation with enamel preservation has improved and offered best results. This article focuses on the esthetic improvement of patients with diastema, fluorosis, and discolored teeth using porcelain laminate veneers.
