Is There Any Pain Involved with Veneers?

Most of my patients report zero pain during the process, yet sometimes a person will report pain JUST from walking through the front door. While the veneer process is mostly painless, it is still dental surgery. We are very conservative when we work, but some cases require aggressive preparation. Some makeovers are so extreme (severe crowding, broken down teeth requiring root canal therapy, extraction of root tips, etc) that some discomfort should be expected.
Depending on the case, it might not be pain FREE. Having said that, most people say that it was completely comfortable and would do it again in a heartbeat.

The preparation and placement of porcelain veneers typically produces little to no discomfort following the procedure.  Local anesthesia is used to keep the patient comfortable during the process.  I find that patients rarely take any pain meds following the procedure.  Good luck. 

My most sensitive patients do amazingly well with porcelain veneers, and rarely do they report any major discomfort. The top surface of the tooth is reshaped to fit the veneers. The prep is painless and most patients adjust to the new feel of the veneers immediately.Best of luck. James Asaf, DDS

There really should not be any pain associated with veneers. I make sure that my injections are painless and that my preparations are conservative to minimize any sensitivity through the process.  There are ways to help minimize any possible sensitivity while you are in temporaries and at the time of final cementation. As long as the preparations are rather conservative, and far from the pulp chamber in the center of the tooth where the nerve tissue resides, it should be a generally comfortable procedure.

The question is, is their any pain
involved with dental veneers. Like any
procedure certainly there is the possibility of discomfort however porcelain
veneers can be done these days with very minimal discomfort. Many times now we’re able to do minimal or no
preparations to be able to do veneers, saving tooth structure which then of
course causes less pain. So they can be
done with very little comfort these days.
