I had 10 upper and 10 lower porcelain veneers placed 3 weeks ago. The sensitivity and pain increasing daily in the back teeth top and bottom which were not touched by veneers. Also there are greyish specks appearing at some of the margins and back side of the tooth in various places that is perplexing. I can also feel a "ridge" at the gum line on some of the teeth and 1 in particular toward the back is quite noticeable that the vaneer does not extend into the gum. Any ideas?

Answer: Pain and sensitivity with veneers Hi:The pain and sensitivity could be due to improper bite or clenching or grinding pressure. You should go back to your dentist ASAP to check the bite and make sure all the margin of the veneers are sealed and polished.Best,Dr. Maddahi

Answer: Need more info First, congrats on having 20 veneers done. What a life changing investment. Secondly, do you know if your dentist shaved/ground/prepped your teeth before he placed on the veneers? If he did, then it doesn’t surprise me that you have discomfort or sensitivity. It’s not normal to have the type of pain that you’ve described, but having all that work done some sensitivity can be expected. A properly fabricated veneer should go all the way to the top of the gum level and you should not feel a ledge. As a cosmetic dentist, that’s why I love and my patients love Lumineers. I don’t shave or grind on my patients teeth (prevent teeth damage and sensitivity issues) and they’re super thin so they form right up to the gum line where you can’t even tell something is on your teeth. You need to go see your dentist that did your veneers. After all that money you spent, you deserve the best. Not pain.
