7 months after veneers I am still in chronic pain. I am experiencing gum inflammation, and bleeding, extreme sensitivity, trouble chewing, chronic headaches, pain in face, facial numbness, hands numb, etc..My doctor only tells me he can do root canals to eliminate the pain. When I asked him why he placed the veneers so deep on my gums, he stated for aesthetic purposes, and if I did not like the appearance to contact a periodontist for a gum graft.

Answer: Is placement of porcelain veneers at or beyond the mucogingival margin a biological width violation?
Should you get porcelain veneers at age 22? Absolutely not! You are in for a lifetime of dentistry whether these are prepped or prepless veneers. If the average life span of a veneer is 15 years, think of how many times you will need to have them redone in your lifetime.Get the Invisalign...
Hi:Light inflammation is due to temporary acrylic material, however any infection and heavy inflamation may be due to ill fitting temporaries. Please post photo for more accurate advice.Best,Dr. Maddahi
It sounds like your veneers have changed your bite. Call the doctors office and ask to be seen to see if you may need them to adjust how the teeth fit together. This can happen while you are numb and can not feel if the bite is correct. The adjustment is very simple to do.
