Dental fluorosis is a dental enamel defect caused by excessive systemic use of fluoride during tooth development. Depending on the dental fluorosis severity, several options exist to minimize its unesthetic effect. Composite resins can be considered as an option for moderate to severe cases; But such restorations have limited longevity which compromises the long-term esthetic results. Laminate veneers are considered as most durable restorative option for moderate to severe cases thanks to their color stability, marginal integration and wear resistance. In fact, they can completely mask the discolored tooth with minimally invasive design preparation. In addition the advances of ceramic properties facilitate this process. In this presentation, we will discuss through clinical situation the challenging aspect of treating dental fluorosis with ceramic veneers.
