Receiving porcelain veneers is completely painless, as the procedure is non-invasive. To ensure you won’t feel any pain or discomfort, your dentist will administer a local anesthetic beforehand. While it’s normal to feel mild sensitivity after having your porcelain veneers placed, any discomfort usually fades within a few hours. You can manage any soreness with over-the-counter pain medications and cold compresses in the meantime.
