\"veneers<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Veneers<\/a> are one of the most famous kinds of cosmetic dentistry, and that\u2019s because the results that they produce are worth talking about. They can cover up just about any kind of imperfection that you may have with your smile, giving you a grin you\u2019d be proud to show off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may have heard that placing veneers requires removing a small portion of your enamel, which can make some patients concerned about the prospect of sensitivity. If you\u2019re worried, here\u2019s some information that may put you at ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Where Do Concerns About Sensitivity Come From?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your tooth may seem solid from the outside, but it\u2019s actually made up of several layers that each serve distinct purposes. Inside the tooth is the root pulp, which is full of nerve endings and is protected by the hard enamel on the outside. When that enamel is removed, it exposes more of the root tissue, which can (in theory) make your teeth a little bit sensitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will Getting Veneers Make My Teeth Sensitive?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While removing your enamel is certainly something that could make your teeth sensitive, veneers are strong enough to be a reasonable substitute for it once they\u2019re in place. They\u2019ll be able to protect the sensitive root pulp instead of the enamel. While it\u2019s normal for the teeth to be unusually sensitive for a few days while they adjust, in the long term you don\u2019t have all that much to worry about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is worth noting that enamel doesn\u2019t grow back, which means you\u2019ll be reliant on your veneers to protect your teeth. If your dental work breaks, you will have to replace it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is Removing Enamel Necessary For Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Veneers are incredibly thin, but they\u2019re just thick enough that if you simply plastered them onto your teeth, you\u2019d notice them sticking out. For that reason, removing a microscopic amount of enamel is critically important in order for your dental work to look realistic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you see the final results, you\u2019ll understand why all this effort on the part of your dentist was so important. The smile that they give you is so impressive it makes everything worth it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
