WORTH IT
Hi everyone, I recently had Emax porcelain veneers on my teeth. 18 in total, 10 on upper and 8 on lower teeth.
Overall I am very happy with the result. I still feel a bot strange when I look at the mirror but I have only had them for 4 days so I guess it is normal.
The procedure was a bit tiring for myself so I bet it must have been exhausting for the dentist + nurses.
Prep took about three hours (prep + 1 filling) but fitting was the most exhausting part. I, somehow expected this would have been done and dusted pretty quick as it only was a matter of sticking the veneers on the prepped teeth, but it took a total of 5 hours (18 teeth + 4 more fillings in molars). By the end of the procedure my lips were sore and swollen.
I also was a bit surprised on how much of my teeth had to be grinded. When I asked the doctor she said she would do as little as possible but I suppose, as some of my teeth were crooked, the least in my case would have been more than other patients.
After fitting I had a final check up the day before, were I enquired about the two frontal upper teeth as I thought they looked slightly too long compared to the rest. The dentist said she could shave them down to make them a bit shorter but she didn’t recommend as otherwise my smile would look odd.
Colour chosen was BL2.
Let me know what you think of the results :)

How long will they last and will you need to get them re done in the future ?

10 to 20 years, depending on how good care you take. And yes, once these are ready to go I will have to get a new whole set.

Did you suffer from sensitive teeth
February 8, 2019
Not before, yes during the procedure (it was actually quite uncomfortable!), and ver little after (sometimes when flossing or rinsing my mouth with very cold water).

You say you surprised at how much of your natural teeth was removed. How much was it exactly, did you end up with little ”cones” ? I feel like this differs so much from one dentist to another..and I’m confused because i thought only crowns were applied to small little knobs

Hello Joanny, I did not end up with little “cones”. As you said, those are typically needed for crowns and not for veneers. In my case they removed enough teeth to leave little gaps between them. Still have a “normal” shaped tooth underneath the veneers but smaller than what they used to be. Any veneers you get, your natural teeth will not be left in a state where you can just remove the veneers and get back to your old smile. You need to be aware pf this before you make the decision to go for it. Hope this helps ;)
