You might’ve had enough of the flaws in your smile, so you may turn to cosmetic dentistry. There are so many treatments that help give you a perfect set of pearly whites. Out of all the options, you may be eyeing veneers. They are porcelain shells that bond to the front of your teeth, but just how do they feel like by the end? Keep reading to learn what you should expect.
How Do Veneers Feel During Treatment?
Veneers are done in two appointments. The first visit will involve your dentist preparing your teeth. They will remove a thin amount of your enamel, so that your final results fit seamlessly without looking big. Before starting, you’ll be given a powerful local anesthetic. You might feel slight pressure, but it shouldn’t be severe discomfort.
Once this is done, you’ll have impressions taken, and they will get sent to a dental lab. Here they’ll craft your permanent set, so you’ll wear temporaries for now. These will look similar to your results, but you might notice they feel a bit bulky. Thankfully, they will still be comfortable.
What Will My Permanent Veneers Feel Like?
Your final set will be ready after a short couple of weeks. They’ll get bonded on with a stronger cement, and you can show off a refreshed smile! Since your teeth were prepared, they shouldn’t feel much different than before. It’ll be just like natural after your mouth adjusts to them fully.
That being said, if you used these shells to change the shape of your teeth, then you may notice a difference. Granted, they won’t look big, but it’ll take a couple of weeks until you get used to them. Many people experience some sensitivity, but it goes away pretty quickly after your treatment!
In the end, you may be relieved to know that veneers don’t feel much different. Cosmetic dental services are designed with your comfort in mind while getting you to pearly whites that you adore! If you have any worries or concerns, then talk to your dentist and get the confidence you need to start your journey to get the perfect smile you love.
