Scott Young, DDS · Answer

You should not be able to move porcelain veneers that have been bonded to your teeth.  They should be secure, look great, and function like your natural teeth.  If this is not the case, you should get back in with your dentist soon for him/her to do a post op evaluation of your veneers.  Don't wait, do it now!

Rod Strober, DDS · Answer

If the veneers were bonded on correctly then they should not be able to move at all. Please call your Dentist and ask them to check them out.

Donald L. Wilcox, DDS · Answer

Out of several thousand veneers, I have only had a very few ever come off.  The bonding process in modern adhesive dentistry is not perfect but very close.  Have your bite checked because you may be hitting the tooth or teeth heavily and giving you the sensation that the tooth is loose.

Ronald Konig DDS · Answer

Porcelain Veneers should look beautiful and feel secure.  Is it one veneer or all of them that feel insecure? Any odor around the tooth?

	It may be possible that your bite is hitting on the back of the veneer making it feel a little mobile or loose.  Definitely have your dentist take a look at this.

After cementation porcelain veneers should not be loose.  They should feel like they are part of your tooth.  I would follow up with your dentist  and check to see if the bite is high or if something else is wrong with them.
