Veneer Restorations: Essential Steps for Esthetic Success

Laminate Ceramic Veneers are widely accepted as treatment of choice for long-term esthetic anterior restorations. Among the advantages when compared with conventional crown preparation, this modality of treatment allows the clinician to obtain an outstanding result in terms of esthetics, as well as a conservative preparation saving a great deal of tooth structure if a proper plan is applied. Carefully prepared temporary restorations help the dentist and the patient to have a preview of the final treatment. Clinical success also depends on bonding procedures, and details of the most recommended technique for luting a ceramic veneer will be presented. The correct treatment planning is based on photography documentation, communication with the laboratory and clinical steps that will be discussed in this presentation.
