Introduction: Aesthetic dentistry values the alignment of teeth and harmonization of the smile, and several techniques can be applied to close diastemas. Here, we presented an aesthetic approach to restore the smile balance with porcelain veneers.
Case Report: A 46-year-old female patient sought dental treatment complaining of dental clenching and smile appearance. Pigmented anterior teeth and fractured indirect restoration were observed. Tooth bleaching was performed with 35% hydrogen peroxide and the impression of the jaw was obtained to perform the diagnostic waxing and a surgical guide in silicone. The guide was inserted and the gingival margin recorded with a scalpel. A mucoperiosteal flap was performed and the gingival collar extracted. For osteotomy, the distance between the edge guide and the cervical bone was measured with surgical chisels and carbide/diamond drills. From the dental mold, silicone impressions for use in the mock-up and in the making of the temporary restoration were made. The cementation protocol for the facets was carried out with hydrofluoric acid for 30 seconds.
Conclusion: The present protocol proved to be effective when correctly indicated and executed, rehabilitating the patient’s aesthetics and function.
