Aesthetic or cosmetic dentistry is one of the main areas of dental practice. Increasing demands of patients for
aesthetics has resulted in the development of several techniques for restoring the anterior teeth. Composite
resin restorations have become an integral part of contemporary restorative dentistry and can be called “star
of minimal invasion” due to its conservative concepts. The direct composite veneering allows restoring the
tooth in a natural way and preservation of sound tooth structure when compared to indirect restorations.
Before placement of direct composite veneers, a proper diagnosis, available treatment options, cost of
treatment, patient’s expectations and duration of treatment should be taken into consideration. This article
presents three case reports of aesthetic rehabilitation of anterior teeth using direct composite with
satisfactory outcome that mimic the natural dentition.
