Jaw pain and headache after getting porcelain veneers and crowns. Do I just need some adjustment time?

pln_30
Two days ago, I had 8 porcelain veneers and 2 crowns placed on my upper teeth. Since then, I have had jaw pain and headaches. I find myself clenching my teeth in my sleep, as well as discomfort when chewing food. I had an overbite before veneers but it has never caused the symptoms mentioned. I went back to the dentist and he made some adjustments but the symptoms persist. He seems to think my bite is fine. Do I just need time to adjust to my veneers or is there a serious issue with my bite?
