Nowadays covering tooth discoloration may represent a challenge for the clinician especially when facing quite severe discoloured areas. Currently, thanks to the extremely predictable techniques and versatile products related to dental bleaching that are available on the market it is sometimes possible to avoid covering discoloured teeth and still achieve excellent results in terms of aesthetics and durability. In more complex situations, which require changes in tooth shape, colour and position, the clinician can count on high-performance ceramic materials, in order to reach high aesthetics even with minimally invasive prosthetic procedures.
