If you aren\u2019t happy with the current appearance of your smile due to chips, gaps, undersized teeth, misshapen teeth, or stains, veneers could be the perfect solution to transform your smile. In addition to enhancing the beauty of your grin, they are both durable and long-lasting. However, they do require a small amount of enamel removal to be properly attached to the teeth. This begs the question: do veneers cause tooth sensitivity? Read on to learn more about the veneers<\/a> process and how it affects tooth sensitivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What Does the Veneers Process Look Like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In most cases, you can get veneers in just two appointments. Once it\u2019s confirmed that you are a good candidate for the treatment, your teeth need to be prepared. This consists of your dentists removing about .5 mm of enamel from the front-facing surfaces of the teeth. This is necessary to make room for your veneers. Without this step, the veneers would appear bulky and unnatural. Impressions are taken of your prepped teeth, and you are given temporary veneers to wear until your permanent restorations are ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a couple of weeks, you will be able to return to the dental office to have your final veneers adhered to your teeth. Final adjustments are made. Lastly, you can show off your new and improved smile to the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Do Veneers Impact Tooth Sensitivity?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After the procedure, many patients experience minor sensitivity as their mouth adjusts to their new restorations. This can last anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks. Other patients don\u2019t experience any sensitivity. Forutnately, if your smile is sore after your procedure, this is temporary. If you think this symptom is lasting a long time or worsening, let your dentist know so they have help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are prone to tooth sensitivity, veneers could be able to help you in the long run. Adding a veneer to the front side of your tooth gives it an added layer of protection against outside elements, making it more challenging for hot and cold temperatures to reach the nerve of your tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When getting veneers, sensitivity isn\u2019t a huge concern. After you adjust to them, they shouldn\u2019t feel much different from your teeth pre-veneers. You will be able to enjoy all of the benefits of your uniform, beautiful smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
