My teeth are extremely senstive after crown and veneer treatment. Why?

Q.
hi Dr Mark

i would like to ask you regarding to a problem that i have with a crown and veneer. i have just fited a crown and veneer recently but the problem have started since the day i fited them. with the veneer tooth i cant even bite at all, and if i touch it hurts like a bruise in a body. the crown one i feel a gap in the right hand side of the tooth and everytime i breath i feel pain because of that or eat smth cold or hot it hurts like a nerve. i have been several times to my dentist which thinks that everything is perfect and try to find the cause to other teeths. well for the crown one i use to have it before in crown but the dentist decided to replace it with new one for the veneer to match better. i must emphasise that when this tooth was on crown before didnt had any problem and felt like your own tooth.i m not using this teeth(crown and veneer at all) as they both are painfull and is a bigg thing for me as i cant chew nothing. could you please let me know your opinion in that!

Hi

I think it would be best if you could come and see me so I can figure out properly what the problem could be. Any suggestions without a proper examination are just conjecture and guesswork.

The veneered tooth could be a problem with the bite or with the nerve of the tooth becoming infected or both?! Sometimes teeth die as a result of crown or veneer preparation. The crowned tooth might be leaking or it could be inflammation in the nerve.

Your best bet at this stage would be to come and have a second opinion with us or seek out some expert advice locally to you

Hope that helps?

Mark
