This clinical report presents conservative and esthetic ceramic veneer treatments without tooth reduction. Patients' benefit from avoiding invasive procedure is discussed in terms of biologic price. The margin is placed not only at the cervical area, but also at any place on the tooth where additive volume increase is required. Techniques to camouflage the margin is described where contact lens effect is difficult to achieve. Proper case selection would be imperative to avoid periodontally hazardous restoration.
