Can I get cosmetic dental treatment with sensitive teeth?

Yes — many cosmetic dental treatments are safe for people with sensitive teeth. However, your dentist may recommend a modified approach to keep you comfortable and protect your enamel.

🦷 What to Consider

  • Some treatments like whitening can temporarily increase sensitivity
  • Veneers, bonding, or crowns may actually help by covering exposed dentin
  • A consultation is essential to assess the cause and severity of your sensitivity first

✅ Tips for Sensitive Smiles

  • Choose gentle whitening systems (or avoid altogether)
  • Use desensitizing toothpaste before and after treatment
  • Consider composite bonding or no-prep veneers that require minimal enamel removal

🧠 Important:

If your sensitivity is linked to gum recession or enamel loss, your dentist may treat that first.
