Of the many types of dental material most suitable for restoring the smile, dental ceramic is the one that stands out. It aims at meeting the esthetic and functional needs of patients seeking smile harmony, beauty and strength. This paper reports the rehabilitation of two clinical cases using lithium disilicate veneers (e.max, Ivoclar Vivadent). The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the possibility of restoring shape and function, highlighting esthetic features — such as color, translucency and opacity — presenting structural reliability, thereby pointing towards a great restorative alternative.
