Porcelain laminate veneers are one of the most preferred treatment methods today, due to the increasing interest in minimally invasive approach and their superior aesthetic properties. With the appreciation of the minimally invasive approach and the developing adhesive procedures, the partial laminate veneers have become more popular in dental field. In these case series, the teeth were restored with partial laminate veneers by only intervening in the fractured area. In this case series, the teeth that were restored with partial laminate veneers were prepared with different techniques. Preparation was performed without bevel in enamel margin in the case 1, with incisal overlap and bevel to create more natural transition on tooth surface in the case 2. In the case 3, preparation with incisal overlap was performed with preparation of the palatal surface of the tooth. The optical impression was made with the digital camera of the Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic (CEREC) acquisition unit (Omnicam CEREC Sirona, Bensheim, Germany), in the first case. In the other cases, impression was taken with elastomeric impression materials. In addition, restorations were fabricated from feldspathic porcelain and lithium disilicate porcelain. In all the cases, restoration was cemented with resin cements. The following cases present the minimally invasive treatment of maxillary central incisors with a partial laminate veneers fabricated from different ceramic materials. New materials, procedures, and techniques provide patients an improved quality of life and a greater self-esteem with creating a confident aesthetic smile.
