This document summarizes the case of a 35-year old male patient who reported to the prosthodontics department due to an unaesthetic appearance of his maxillary right central incisor. The patient's dental history notes he had a full veneer crown on his left central incisor previously. Laminate veneers were proposed to improve aesthetics, which involve placing thin ceramic laminates on the tooth surface. Contraindications and the armamentarium required are listed. The step-by-step veneer preparation procedure is then outlined, including creating depth cuts, long chamfer margins, proximal grooves, and rounded surfaces.
