Abstract :
Background:
The demand for esthetic dental treatments has significantly increased in recent years, with ceramic veneers emerging
as a popular option due to their superior esthetic and functional properties. Veneers offer a conservative solution to
manage spacing, discoloration, and minor malalignment without extensive tooth reduction.
Case Report:
A 26-year-old male patient presented to Department of Prosthodontic crown and bridge with a chief complaint of
aesthetic concerns regarding his front teeth. The patient expressed dissatisfaction with the discoloration of anterior tooth
and slight asymmetry of the lower tooth, which affected his smile. The patient sought treatment to improve dental
aesthetics and achieve a more harmonious smile. The patient was highly satisfied with the final outcome in terms of both
function and appearance.
Conclusion:
With appropriate case selection, meticulous planning, and execution, ceramic veneers provide an effective, minimally
invasive solution for smile enhancement. This case reinforces the importance of adhesive protocols and demonstrates the
long-term viability of E. max veneers for anterior esthetic rehabilitation.
