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.

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.

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.

If your porcelain veneers feel loose it could very well be that your bite needs to be adjusted. Another reason if some bonding cement has been left in between the teeth you could get a sensation that the teeth are moving because the cement is rubbing. It is normal for many people to have slight movement when they close their teeth but the whole tooth has this movement not just a veneer. My advise is to go back and have the dentist check for these things. Hope this helps

Jennifer Jablow, DDS · Answer

Veneers like crowns when they are permanently cemented should not feel loose. Plaese go back to your dental office and have the dentist check if the bonding i loose or if you are hitting the tooth in a movement which is call occlusal interference.

Chad Colson, DMD · Answer

Once bonded into place, porcelain veneers should not move. They should feel seemless--like part of the underlying tooth. If you can move your recently delivered veneers, you should follow up with your restorative dentist.
