I was unhappy with my teeth, as they got stained easily and I wanted a whiter, bigger smile to feel more confident. I had 2 aims, whiter + bigger smile. The temporaries didn't look right but I didn't get to see the final adjustments bf the day of cementing, and bc of novocaine my face was swollen. Now they are done, I feel terrible. I feel they don't suit my face, are way too long (like dentures) and make me look older. I didn't see it bc of swelling at cementing appt. What do you recommend?

Temporary crowns are made to last for months, often last longer, but the material of which they are composed, has pores which makes them less resistant and more difficult to clean. To know if the tooth is in good condition it would be necessary to do a clinical and radiographic analysis as soon...
Since the structure of the tooth is intact, I would be inclined to try veneers, as an anterior tooth requires high esthetics, so I would first recommend trying temporary veneers to agree on shape, size and color.
