## TL;DR

This paper discusses using porcelain veneers and zirconia implants to achieve good results in fixing front tooth gaps and replacing missing teeth.

## Contribution

The paper presents a clinical case demonstrating the successful combination of porcelain laminate veneers and zirconia abutments for anterior maxillary esthetics.

## Key findings

- Porcelain laminate veneers and zirconia abutments provide favorable esthetic outcomes in the anterior maxilla.
- Adherence to clinical protocols ensures optimal mechanical and biological results in implant-supported restorations.

## Abstract

Achieving optimal esthetics, function, and biocompatibility in such cases often necessitates the integration of all‐ceramic restorations and dental implants. Single‐tooth implant‐supported restorations, especially in the anterior region, remain a challenging yet preferred option for tooth replacement. The choice of abutment material, particularly zirconia over metal, is critical for ensuring favorable esthetic outcomes. For diastema closure, porcelain laminate veneers are commonly indicated, providing a conservative and effective solution for esthetic and functional concerns. This manuscript presents a clinical case illustrating the use of porcelain veneers and an implant supported prosthesis for the esthetic rehabilitation of the maxillary anterior region. The outcomes highlight the importance of adhering to clinical protocols to achieve optimal mechanical, biological, and esthetic results.
