Restoring Smile with Ceramic Veneers for a Patient with Fractured Anterior Teeth: A Case Report

Abstract

Background: This case report analyzes the efficient restoration of fractured anterior teeth using ceramic veneers. A 47-year-old female patient suffered from trauma, which caused fractures of the maxillary central incisors. Veneers were considered an adequate treatment option for smile restoration. Case Presentation: A 47-year-old female presented with trauma that resulted in fractures of the maxillary central incisors. After taking the pertinent information, the decision was made to proceed with lithium disilicate ceramic veneers. After taking impressions for the veneers to be custom-made, the veneers were directly bonded to the fractured incisors with an adhesive cement. Conclusion: During the procedure, minimal preparation was needed, which meant that most natural tooth structures were preserved. Also, the veneers with their excellent properties were both functional and pleasing to the eye. When the patient returned for their 12-month follow-up, they had no complications with their new smile and veneers. The patient reported with great satisfaction that their smile was not only new but also brought a high level of confidence.
