Can I get veneers if I have sensitive teeth?

Yes! Dental veneers can help with sensitive teeth by covering exposed roots or worn tooth enamel. Here's what you should know.

How Veneers Work

There are two types of dental veneers Dr. Booth may recommend for your smile: porcelain or composite. 

Porcelain veneers cover the front surface of your teeth with a thin layer of ceramic porcelain, while composite veneers add the same material to your tooth that we use for dental fillings.

Depending on the cause of your tooth sensitivity, many patients find that their teeth feel less sensitive after veneers. This is because they create a protective barrier around your teeth from external factors that cause sensitivity. 

Veneers can also help to eliminate these tooth concerns:

  • Gaps between teeth
  • Tooth size discrepancy
  • Broken or chipped teeth
  • Worn teeth
  • Stained or discolored teeth

Are Dental Veneers in Huntsville Right for You?

The first step in determining if veneers might be the right treatment for your needs is to book an evaluation with Dr. Booth. He'll use photos, x-rays, and a thorough exam to determine the best course of treatment for your unique needs. Then you'll make the final choice on which procedure we use to restore your smile.
