Why are my new porcelain veneers discomfortable?

Q. Hi doctor. I am having alot of discomfort with my new 10 upper porcelain veneers. From around day 4 of my temporaries being fitted the problems began. When i went back to the dentist, he told me that some food had maybe got into the bond as there were small holes. I thought my problems would be over when i had my porcelain veneers fitted. No such luck! A week later i was back and sent to a root specialist, he slightly adjusted my bite and a week later i am still hurting, on and off, and if i have not got pain i have got face ache that goes into my ears and temples, like muscle spasms which gives me vertigo. I can eat, Just! But am sensitive to hot beverages. My own dentist took a normal x-ray but could not see any root damage. I paid alot of money at a top London dentist and am so annoyed and confused at what has gone wrong. Any advice will be gratefully received. Thank you.

A. I think that the problem is coming form your bite. Book in to see a TMJ specialist or go back to the dentist who placed your veneers and ask him to check your bite again.
