How long does it take for teeth sensitivity and gum pain from porcelain veneers to go away? (photos)

July 26, 2018
Asked By:tellyboo in New York, NY

I had my veneers placed about 6 weeks ago. When I had the temporaries on I started experiencing sharp mouth pain. The dentist said the pain should go away after the the veneers were placed but I am still in pain. I went to another dentist after the veneers were placed but my X-ray came back normal. I am on painkillers everyday because my teeth are sensitive, my gum aches and at times my jaw hurt. Will the pain ever go away? I had 16 veneers placed (8 at the top and 8 at the bottom).

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...
