Dental veneers are much like a filling, in that after the filling is placed, and after the dental veneers are placed, you may have a period of a week or so when you have some sensitivity to cold. This is very normal and will pass. There is some getting used to of the shape of the dental veneers, because you started with teeth that were not the way you wanted them to be. if your teeth were very crooked, the way your teeth touched your lip when they were crooked will be very different from the way they touch your lip when they're nice and straight. Also, your speech pattern may be a little different if the teeth have been lengthened with the dental veneers. So, veneers will take some getting used to, but most people accommodate to this very rapidly.
