I have veneers on 8 and 9 (due to childhood accident). I needed them redone because I have very tiny black triangles on the distals due to papilla trauma.Teeth were slice prepped. I have been 5x to seat appts. None were right. The veneers are Emax. He ground on the last set for 2 hours then told me the ground veneers would go back to the lab to be added to, re-glazed and baked. Is that normal? Should a new set be made for longevity and quality? Can veneers be adjusted that much chairside?
