Does Getting Veneers Hurt?

In this video, Dr. Matthew Keider explains when numbing may be needed for a veneer procedure and how patient comfort is ensured throughout the process. If you are considering veneers and have questions about the treatment, schedule a free consultation today to discuss your options.

The need for numbing during a veneer procedure depends on the type of material used and the preparation required. In some cases, veneers can be placed directly on the teeth without any numbing, as the procedure is painless. However, certain materials require some preparation of the teeth, which involves reshaping the enamel. In these cases, local anesthesia is used to ensure complete comfort throughout the process.

Patients can rest assured that with proper numbing, the procedure is pain-free. Additionally, there is typically no discomfort after the veneers are placed, allowing for a smooth and comfortable recovery. If you have concerns about the procedure, we are happy to discuss the best approach for your specific needs.
