How painful are veneers to have put on? I kind of have a phobia with dentists and any procedure. Also which are better composite or porcelain?
Answer: Perception is reality 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.

Answer: Porcelain Veneers: Is it painful? 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

Answer: Pain with Veneers 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.
