The prosthetic replacement of a missing central incisor is described. The left anterior teeth were transformed, through the placement of laminate veneers, to simulate a complete dentition: the lateral incisor was made to look like a central incisor, the canine like a lateral incisor, and the first premolar like a canine. The right central and la teral incisors were also restored for esthetic purposes. The most important factors associated with this type of case are discussed in detail.
