_Creating final restorations Once the temporary veneers had been success- fully fitted, the final veneers were created from IPS e.max CAD blocks using a milling unit. The restorations were finished by layering ceramics (e.max Ceram) to the labial and incisal parts for maximum aesthetics (Fig. 18). To conclude a successful treatment process, the final restorations were cemented. A photo of the end result was also taken (Figs. 19 & 20). _Conclusion Digital smile designing significantly improves the communication between the patient and the entire treatment team. More predictable results make patients more confident, as they can trust that the outcome will be in accordance with their expectations.Patientsarealsopleasedtobeactively involved in their own treatment and that they are able to take part in the design process right from the start. As a result, patient case acceptance is improved. Digital smile designing provides several benefits compared to the traditional way of smile designing with different wax-ups—it is easier, more comfort- able for the patient and more time-efficient._ Acknowledgment:TheauthorwouldliketothankDrKatja Narva,DDS,PhD,SpecialistinProsthodontics.
