Is Getting Veneers Painful?

The main concern of patients before any sort of dental treatment or procedure is whether or not it will be painful. This is the case for those who are getting porcelain veneers, as well. Our Los Angeles veneer dentist ensures patients that there is no pain involved in this process.

The part that patients are most often concerned about is the removal of a thin layer of dental enamel. While it may sound like this could hurt, dental enamel is simply hard tissue that is not connected to any nerves or blood vessels. You may hear the sounds of our dentist using their tools against your teeth, but it is unlikely you will feel any pain. Furthermore, such a small amount of enamel needs to be removed that you may not even notice a difference afterwards.

The second half of the process is simple. We will place each veneer one at a time on the teeth. The will be held in place with dental bonding, which is used often in dentistry. A special light will then be used to cure and harden the bonding into place. This light may feel warm, but will not hurt in any way.

If you have any other concerns about the dental placement process, be sure to give us a call.
