Getting veneers is a simple procedure that can be done right in your dentist’s office, generally without the need for sedation or even local anesthetic. The portion of the treatment process that brings the most discomfort is usually the removal of the enamel, during which you may experience brief moments of sensitivity if the grinding gets near the gum line.
If you have selected a thicker material for your veneer, your dentist may need to remove additional enamel, which could be uncomfortable and may require anesthetic. If for any reason, during your treatment you experience pain, let your dentist know right away. They will address the issue before returning to the treatment.
During the placement of the veneers, the only sensation you are likely to feel is slight pressure.
