Abstract
Cosmetic dentistry has broadened significantly in recent decades and restoring aesthetic appearance is a clinical challenge. Veneers is a minimally invasive method of restoring discoloured, fluorosed teeth and teeth with spacing. One of the main reasons causing teeth discoloration is dental fluorosis, which is significant problem compromising dental aesthetics. Laminate veneers offer great assurance in this regard as they provide perfect aesthetic results in a very conservative way and simultaneously meet the structural, functional, biological and mechanical requirements necessary to ensure long term clinical performance. This case report describes the case of congenitally missing lateral incisors and severe dental fluorosis causing brownish patchy discoloration of the teeth which were contoured and restored with porcelain laminate veneers to achieve the desired aesthetic outcome.
Keywords: Aesthetics, fluorosis, laminate veneer, tooth discoloration.
