Should I have da Vinci veneers or Emax veneers?

[Abigail]

Hello

I have four front teeth which have discoloured after they were root treated a few years ago. I had an accident a few years back and damaged my front teeth and had to have them root filled but more recently all of them have become a lot darker in colour and left me with a problem when I smile.

I would like to get my teeth whitened and have been told by my dentist that my root filled teeth will not become any whiter with teeth whitening.

I would like to have them covered with porcelain veneers and I have been looking at the different types of veneers that you offer and I am not sure to go with da Vinci veneers or Emax veneers. Could you please what is the difference between these types of veneers and how quickly can they be made.

Thank you for your question.

da Vinci veneers are made in California by the da Vinci lab and Emax veneers are made locally in the UK by a cosmetic lab. Because we send you to the local lab, you have an opportunity to taylor your Emax veneers to the way you like them to be as you will be speaking directly to the lab technician who will be making the Emax veneers.

Both are very strong thin veneers and both look really good cosmetically. However as Emax veneers are made locally, they can be made in 1 to 2 weeks whereas da Vinci veneers need around 4 weeks especially with the current planned postal strikes.
