Will my speech or bite change?

Short answerYou may notice a temporary change in your bite or speech immediately after the veneers are placed.

• Your tongue and lips need time to adapt to the new shape and thickness of your teeth, which can initially affect the pronunciation of certain sounds.
• Similarly, your bite may feel different as you get used to the new surfaces.
• This adjustment period is normal and for most people, sensation returns to normal within a short time.
• If you have persistent difficulty, contact your dentist for an evaluation.
