You can go back to work immediately the one problem is anesthetic – which effects eating and speaking usually this wears off with in 1-2 hours.
You could go back to the work the next day. You may not want to go back the same day as most dentist give anesthetic on the delivery appointment and your lips may be numb.
In most cases, the finishing and insertion of your porcelain veneers by the dentist, does not necessitate taking time off, as is possible in a dental implant surgery or gum surgery. The only work recommendation I have after your veneers are completed is to wear sunglasses...Okay just kidding. I would expect you to be pretty excited about your new smile and anxious to flash it off to a jealous coworker! One proviso: I would be a little cautious about your diet and gradually choose foods that are harder to chew as there may be an adjustment phase with your new veneers- so lay off the BBQ ribs at the office party.
Unless you are sedated for the appointment, you could go right to work after your appointment. Granted you'll be a little tired - it takes a few hours and it's tiring to sit still that long (think of a car or plane trip). Best of luck!
You can get back to work as soon as you are done with your dentist. The dentist needs to numb you because the adjustment may hurt your gum. It takes 2 or 3 hours to wear off the numbness. It is better to reschedule your meeting to the day after, so your colleagues are going to see your great smile without any numbness.
Veneers will be permanently bonded at your visit so you do not have to wait to go back to work. You will be a little numb so you may not be able to show off your beautiful new smile in all its glory!
Yes, you can go back to work but depending on how many veneers are placed you may not want to. I recommend that patients doing many veneers do it at the end of the day so they can go home and relax if they have a problem taking time off from work.
Good question! Yes- you more than likely can go back to work. A typical veneer case of 8 units takes around 3 hours to do. You'll be numb on those teeth going back to work though so your speech may be slightly abnormal for a short time period. I typically have people go back to work. Make sure you have a full breakfast and are hydrated fully before undergoing this procedure. Also- ask your dentist if it's okay for you to take ibuprofen immediately after the procedure. This will help with any inflammation (after the procedure).
While more teeth are involved, the post operative experience is similar to having a filling. You are numb, but that is about it. Unless you were sedated for the procedure, you could leave the dental office and go directly to work if you desired.
I completely understand how discouraging that can feel — when your smile doesn’t look natural, it can really affect confidence. Unfortunately, once multiple crowns and veneers have been placed, there’s only so much that can be done to “revise” them without starting fresh. If people are notic...
I completely understand your frustration, especially when your temporaries actually looked better than your final veneers. That shadowing or darkness you’re noticing between your veneers is usually the result of technical or design issues, such as: Inadequate tooth preparation that doesn’t pro...
There are three possibilities. 1. If on the outer surface of the veneer - can remove and fill it with dental composite. 2. Deep in the veneer - need to check how deep and based on that planning. 3. If the spot is not part of the veneer and it's in the bonding cement - Veneer replacement.
