title: The full veneer as an alternative to the full crown.
abstract: The use of ceramic veneers on the facial and incisal surfaces of teeth has become an integral part of our esthetic armamentarium. The success rate on these restorations has led to increased optimism and expanded applications. The full veneer uses bonded ceramic veneers to restore additional tooth surfaces. The result is a highly esthetically pleasing restoration that is functional and very conservative compared with traditional crowns.
