Abstract
Porcelain laminate veneers have been one of the most used restorations for aesthetics. Aesthetics is a subject that is objective and necessitates excellent communication among the dentist, patient, and ceramist. The case must be carefully selected and treatment planned. The use of mock-ups, followed by a wax model, aesthetic pre-evaluative temporaries, and silicone index, provides the best aesthetic, phonetic, and functional outcome and allows for better communication with the patient and laboratory. The use of permanent diagnostic provisionals could have a further impact on this solid communication. Patients have the chance to evaluate the aesthetics, function, and phonetics not only by themselves but also with their immediate circle of family or friends.
