After getting veneers, some people tend to have a little difficulty pronouncing specific words. This, along with muscle memory, can cause a temporary lisp to appear. Since the tongue is not familiar with your veneers when you talk, they can affect the way it moves as you speak. The most common words affected by your veneers include “s” and “v” sounds. Over time, your tongue will adjust on its own, but it doesn’t hurt to practice certain sounds if you want to accelerate this process. To make the lisp go away sooner, we may be able to reduce the thickness of the veneers in certain areas of the mouth if needed.
