Does getting veneers hurt?

Short answerThe veneer procedure is typically performed with local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort.

• Your dentist will numb the teeth and surrounding gums before any tooth preparation or bonding begins, minimizing potential discomfort during the appointment.
• The amount of anesthesia needed and the sensation felt afterwards can vary between individuals, but most patients report feeling pressure rather than pain.
• You should discuss any concerns about pain or sensitivity with your dentist beforehand so they can take appropriate measures.
