Could temporary veneers cause a tooth ache at night when I lie down without a more serious underlying reason?

Asked By:theresapic in Los Angeles, CA

I got my top 8 teeth shaved down for veneer prep and the temporaries put on one week ago from today. On my third night after the shave down, I started to develop a tooth ache at night when I lie down. There isn't one tooth that hurts more than the other, it's my entire top row gum line. During the day I have no pain or discomfort but as soon as I lie down, my entire upper row of teeth throb. Could the temporary veneers and newly shaved down teeth cause this pain or is it a more serious issue?
