When porcelain veneers are fitted over existing teeth, the result is beautiful as the veneers cover up minor imperfections. In the process of getting fitted for veneers, a small amount of the protective enamel has to be removed to ensure they bind sufficiently.
Key takeaways:
– Some people experience sensitivity after getting veneers – but not everyone.
– Any sensitivity is usually temporary, only lasting for a few days or weeks.
– In people with compromised tooth enamel, veneers can actually protect against sensitivity.
– For any severe sensitivity that lasts longer than 2 months it is advisable to see your dentist.
