Are Veneers Painful?

Ultrathin Veneers, Durathin Veneers and Lumineers involve no drilling and injections since no tooth is being cut.

So, Do Veneers Hurt?

Veneers are usually not painful whilst you are having the treatment.

However, some have reported slight sensitivity during the settling down after the final fitting – this is quite normal and nothing to worry over.

It usually lasts only a few days through the recovery process and soon after subsidies.

The sensitivity is due to the bonding process where an inorganic substance (the veneer) has been bonded using a special cement to an organic component (your tooth).

In complex cases involving many treatments, you may experience discomfort while your teeth settle down.

Your specialist dentist will discuss what to expect after any treatment at the examination stage.

What to Expect

The clinical assessment is an essential appointment, after which you will fully understand how your treatment will proceed.

The doctor will also highlight what to expect, and you will have plenty of opportunities to have all your questions answered. See the trial smile.

The thoroughness of the clinical assessment is also very essential – this is very important so that the appropriate treatment is selected; the more compatible the treatment plan, the better suited it will be for you.

Plus, you are more likely to avoid any major oral health problems.

It also means that you are less likely to experience difficulties during the treatment.

It is essential also to follow all the relevant advice given before, during and after the treatment.

If this advice is not followed, then you can end up experiencing discomfort from other associated conditions such as sore gums or infection.

Pain-free Treatments

Veneers are usually not painful whilst you are having the treatment.

However, some have reported slight sensitivity during the settling down after the final fitting – this is quite normal and nothing to worry over. It usually only lasts for a few days and very soon after subsidies. More.

The sensitivity is due to the bonding process where an inorganic substance (the veneer) bonded to an organic component (your tooth).

In complex cases, involving a large amount of treatment, you may experience a little uncomfortableness while your teeth settle down.

Treatment Plan
  • At your first appointment, your dentist will look at the general health of your teeth and gums, your bite and understand your goals for your smile; and then see if any fundamental issues need addressing before cosmetic veneer work can begin.
  • We will also discuss the type of veneers that may be suitable and how many veneers you’ll likely need to achieve your desired smile. In some patients, it may be possible to get some veneers placed at an initial phase and then have the possibility of additional shells in the future.

Minimal or No Preparation
  • We will always plan your new smile before any treatment begins. We aim to provide you with the most conservative and preservative dentistry.
  • To prevent excessive tooth preparation, we design your new smile in a way that minimises tooth preparation. We also provide options to have orthodontic or teeth straightening treatment carried out before any cosmetic veneer work starts.
  • Your teeth are already well aligned, so very minimal or hardly any tooth preparation becomes necessary.
  • If you are concerned, we advise that you speak to us in your complimentary consultation. We will be able to provide you with suitable solutions. More.
