Sensitivity after getting porcelain veneers is not unusual.<\/p>\n<h2>How Long Are Teeth Sensitive After Getting Porcelain Veneers?<\/h2>\n<p>Teeth sensitivity after getting porcelain veneers can last up to two weeks. Sensitivity can last fewer or longer than two weeks depending on several factors, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tooth preparation \u2013 Healthy porcelain veneers must fit snugly around your gums, which can require removing a small amount of tooth enamel. Preparing your teeth for veneers can create sensitivity that should resolve within a week or two. If a dentist aggressively prepares your teeth, sensitivity may linger.<\/li>\n<li>Porcelain veneer bonding \u2013 Some people are sensitive to the bonding agent used to ensure the veneers stick to their teeth.<\/li>\n<li>Occlusion \u2013 How your upper and lower teeth meet can cause sensitivity or discomfort. A skilled cosmetic dentist checks and <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-porcelain-veneers.html\">adjusts your bite after placing porcelain veneers<\/a> to ensure your teeth meet evenly.<\/li>\n<li>Porcelain veneer fit \u2013 Ensuring that veneers fit snugly at the gumline will help minimize sensitivity. Otherwise, you may feel discomfort around gaps between a porcelain veneer and your tooth.<\/li>\n<li>General recovery \u2013 Any dental work, including regular exams and cleaning, can create temporary sensitivity. Before you get porcelain veneers, in addition to removing small amounts of tooth enamel, a dentist may need to remove decay or damage from your teeth. You may experience sensitivity afterward.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What If Teeth Sensitivity Lingers?<\/h2>\n<p>If you feel lingering sensitivity after getting porcelain veneers, schedule an exam with your dentist to check the veneers and your bite. If your dentist cannot identify the cause and estimate when the sensitivity might resolve, schedule a second opinion appointment with a skilled cosmetic dentist.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Duane Delaune of Metairie, Louisiana, sponsors this post.
