When dentist, recommended veneers for 2 front teeth .., I said to him only if you can make sure my teeth are not shaven real small... Well when my temporary teeth fell.... I was freaked out, because most of all the front teeth are gone .... They're so small it looked like I had no teeth..... Their painful to touch , air , cold and hot...., and I have sudden sharp pain for no reason..,.
Answer: A Photo would help While many people feel teeth are extremely shaved during many treatments, often dentists see things differently and feel that they are minimally reduced. The sensitivity you describe is normal when teeth have been altered and usually resolves when the final restorations are permanently placed. Veneers have a minimum thickness, so if the teeth aren't reduced the result is bulky veneers or ones that are too thin and prone to fracture.Odds are that everything will be fine in the end.

Answer: Expectations of veneer treatment There is a range of patients which are treated with veneers. Some patients may be treated very conservatively with little or no tooth reduction needed. Other patients who have issues like misaligned teeth, crowding, or severe stain require more tooth reduction to achieve an attractive and long lasting result. Either way, however, expectations should be discussed prior to treatment. I can usually give the patient a sense of how much tooth will be removed by drawing pictures or through use of digital imaging. Ideally more communication prior to treatment would have eliminated some of your surprise. In regards to your temperature sensitivity, this should be mild and subside after a few weeks. Veneers are overall much more conservative than treatments such as crowns. Sensitivity after veneers is usually mild or nonexistent. It sounds like your temporary veneer fell off which is amplifying sensitivity. You should contact your dentist to have it replaced/evaluated, or seek a second opinion if you are questioning the care of the original dentist.

Answer: Shaving teeth for veneers Hello,I think you should have second talk with your doctor; sensitivity will go away sooner or later once you have your final restoration.Shaving teeth involves several things: type of bite, smile design, occlusion and also size, shape and color; there are many things that doctors must watch in the diagnose with the patient, even show you demos or other patient's demos and cases. That way you will have great patient-doctor communication, so there are no surprises. If you could post a photo it will help us determine if your dentist did shave your teeth too much or it didn't. Also, it is very important to ask your dentist for his cosmetic dentistry qualifications, not because he/she has a dentist degree means he/she is a good cosmetic dentist.
