Dealing with Sensitive Teeth After Getting Veneers?

While ideally, all veneers treatments are free of sensitivity or slight discomfort, there are factors that can come into play. It is not uncommon for patients to experience sensitivity after getting veneers. This sensitivity can be concerning, but it’s usually a temporary issue that can be managed effectively with the right process and approach.

When veneers are placed, a small amount of enamel must be removed from the surface of your teeth. This preparation is necessary to ensure that the veneers fit seamlessly and look as similar as possible to natural teeth. However, enamel removal can expose the underlying dentin, which is more sensitive to temperature changes and pressure. This exposure is often the cause of post-veneer sensitivity.

The quality of the veneers and the precision with which they are applied play a crucial role in minimizing post-procedure sensitivity. Our specialized smile makeover team understands that every smile is unique, and we prioritize attention to detail in producing the highest quality porcelain veneers. Our commitment to excellence ensures that your veneers not only enhance your smile aesthetically but also provide a comfortable fit with long-lasting functionality.

One of the key factors in reducing sensitivity is the precise fit of the veneers. Poorly fitted veneers can exacerbate sensitivity by putting additional pressure on the teeth or leaving gaps where temperature changes can affect the exposed dentin. At Beverly Hills Dentistry, we take meticulous care in customizing each veneer to match the exact contours of your teeth. Our advanced imaging technology allows us to create veneers with a perfect fit, reducing the likelihood of discomfort or sensitivity.

Every patient’s experience with veneers is different, which is why we apply a personalized approach to the smile makeover process. Before the procedure, we conduct a thorough assessment of your dental health, including an evaluation of your teeth’s sensitivity levels. This allows us to tailor the treatment to your specific needs, ensuring that the process is as comfortable as possible.

After the veneers are placed, we provide detailed aftercare instructions to help manage any sensitivity. This may include recommendations for desensitizing toothpaste, avoiding extremely hot or cold foods, and using a soft-bristled toothbrush to protect your new veneers.

At Beverly Hills Dentistry, our care doesn’t end once your veneers are placed. We schedule follow-up visits to monitor your progress and address any concerns you may have, including sensitivity. Our goal is to ensure that your veneers not only enhance your smile but also contribute to your overall dental health and comfort.
