How a 35-year-old from Rome transformed her smile with 20 porcelain veneers in just 9 days, saving over EUR 7,500.
Valentina had always been self-conscious about her smile. Her teeth were slightly uneven, with minor gaps and noticeable discolouration from years of coffee drinking. She had explored options in Rome but was discouraged by quotes exceeding EUR 13,000 for a full set of porcelain veneers.
A colleague who had visited Elonix recommended the clinic. Valentina sent photos of her smile via WhatsApp and received a digital smile preview within 3 days, showing her exactly how her new smile would look. She was sold.
Day 1 - Arrival & Consultation: Flew from Rome to Tirana (1 hour 15 minutes). Checked into a boutique hotel in the Blloku district. Afternoon consultation at Elonix: full examination, digital impressions, shade selection, and final smile design approval.
Day 2 - Tooth Preparation: Upper and lower teeth prepared with minimal enamel removal. Laser gum contouring performed on 4 teeth for a more even gum line. Temporary veneers placed -- already a noticeable improvement.
Day 3 - Free Day: Veneers being crafted in the lab. Valentina explored the National Gallery and Bunk'Art museum. Dinner at a restaurant in the trendy Blloku neighbourhood.
Day 4 - Free Day: Day trip to Durres beach (30 minutes from Tirana). Enjoyed the Albanian Mediterranean coast.
Day 5 - Free Day: Shopping in Tirana. Lab fabrication continuing. Quick check-in at clinic.
Day 6 - Try-In: Temporary trial placement of finished veneers. Valentina approved the colour, shape, and fit. Minor adjustments requested on two lower veneers.
Day 7 - Adjustments: Lab made requested modifications. Free afternoon. Professional whitening performed on non-veneered teeth.
Day 8 - Final Bonding: All 20 veneers permanently bonded. Bite checked and adjusted. Final photographs taken. Valentina was emotional seeing her new smile for the first time.
Day 9 - Departure: Morning check-up. Aftercare instructions provided. Flight back to Rome. Total time: 9 days, including 3 full free days.
