Veneers Will Not Cause Dry Mouth
Porcelain veneers do not dry out your mouth. I have placed thousands of veneers over the years and have never had a patient tell me that they have experienced dry mouth after having their veneers seated. I'm not sure why those individuals that you see are licking their teeth, but I am sure that it is not from dry mouth caused from the veneers.

Porcelain veneers can significantly change the shape, size, position, and surface texture of the teeth. Whenever there is a change in the mouth, the tongue "checks it out" for some time until it becomes commonplace.

Veneers do not dry out your mouth
Porcelain veneers, which Lumineers are categorized in, should not dry out your mouth. I have had porcelian veneers on my 6 front teeth for 12 years and have never had any problems with dry mouth. Maybe the people you have noticed licking their teeth are just admiring them with their tongues :)
