Veneer has fallen off 6 times - was too much tooth removed? (photos)

Question

Asked for Emax or Zirconia veneers as a grinder; use a night guard. Dentist said was better candidate for 360 wrap veneers. Said only small amount of tooth would be removed. Temp canine fell of 3x; now permanent 3x as well. Office ordeirng third cement. Something is not right. So stressed out, not sleeping. Recemented tooth falls off when sleeping. Should this much tooth been removed? Please advise.

I am sorry you are having such difficulty. There are probably a combination of 2 reasons the veneer is not staying on.
1- it is very likely that the inside of the veneer as well as the tooth are not being treated properly to eliminate contaminants, and increase the bond strength of the cement being used.
2- it also seems, from your description of coming off while sleeping, that there is a bite interference. There are ways to adjust that so it doesn’t get hit by the lower teeth. The use of a night guard is also recommended for protection of veneers
