I currently have temporary veneers and my teeth are killing me! Will my permanent ones feel better? And why do my bottom teeth hurt when nothing was done to them?
Answer: Temporary Porcelain Veneers CAN be sensitive While we do our best to mitigate discomfort with temporary veneers, it is not unusual to have sensitivity. It could be the bite is high and needs adjustment. It could be the seal is not perfect (and it never really is with a temporary) so saliva can leak through.But it CAN mean that the nerves to the teeth are not happy and may need root canal therapy.Your treating dentist should be able to help.

Answer: Veneer temps and sensitivity Veneer temps generally are thin plastic coverings that are spot bonded and shrink wrapped onto the prepared tooth surface. Therefore, it is not an uncommon experience for patients to have some degree of sensitivity while in temporary veneers. Care should be taken not to expose the teeth during the temp stage to very cold or hot nor acidic foods and drinks. However if you experience severe sensitivity or throbbing pain that lingers it is very important to notify your dentist immediately.In regards to the lower teeth bothering you this may be from a bite disturbance caused by a premature contact with the temp veneers. You should see your dentist to evaluate ASAP!

Answer: Temporary Veneers Sensitive temporaries can be normal. They are likely leaking or the bite is high. I would recommend having your permanents cemented as soon as you can to alleviate your symptoms.

Answer: Discomfort with Temporary Veneers It's not unusual to feel sensitive after having your procedure done. The temporary material is not really thermoprotective and can lead to cold/hot sensitivity in some patients. Additionally, the "trauma" induced by the procedure itself can irritate the teeth, causing transient sensitivity. This should go away after a couple days, and at the latest, once you final veneers have been in place for a few weeks. Your lower teeth being sensitive, may mean that your bite needs adjusted. For that, I would recommend to follow up with your dentist to see if you're biting to hard on those teeth, causing the sensitivity. For any discomfort or sensitivity, usually ibuprofen 800 or extra strength Tylenol will help. Hope that helps!
