Once veneers done on my front teeth I still have a lot of pain and discomfort. Is this temporary?

Well to start with, I tell all veneer patients that they are no longer allowed to “bite” into hard foods or bite into and pull or tear which will torque the teeth causing the veneer to break or pop off. Veneers are nice but very fragile and should be treated as such.

To answer your question regarding the sensitivity, some patients have a slight sensitivity for a few days or even a few weeks. The sensitivity, as you have described, is not normal and would lead me to think you have fractured a veneer, they were not seated correctly, or the teeth just haven’t recovered from the work. They may need something as simple as a fluoride treatment or a desensitizer placed on them to end your discomfort. You will need to return to your dentist so they can determine what treatment would be best for your particular problem.

Additional information: Any time veneers are done it requires some of the enamel to be removed from the front, sides and the incical edge. You have to “remove something” so that the veneer can be made to “replace what was removed,” being the “same size and shape” as what your natural teeth were or should be once corrected.
