Veneers<\/a> are a reliable cosmetic treatment to transform smiles. They have helped millions of people get the confident look they wanted. This treatment uses thin shells that bond to the front of your teeth to cover flaws. However, you might wonder if they will feel any different from what you\u2019re used to with your natural grin. Here\u2019s what you can expect them to be like.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What Does It Feel Like to Get Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your teeth will need to be prepared before veneers can be placed. A small amount of enamel will be removed to ensure your results look flush and fit seamlessly. While you may be worried this will hurt, your mouth will be thoroughly numbed, so you shouldn\u2019t feel outright pain. Many patients say they experience pressure instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Impressions will be taken and sent to a dental lab. Here, they will craft your permanent set using high-quality materials, like porcelain. It can take about two weeks to complete, so you will need to have temporary ones bonded on. These protect your teeth during the wait, but they might feel a bit bulky and initially sensitive. However, they will show you how your final look will be, so you can get a preview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will Your Permanent Veneers Be Comfortable?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once your permanent veneers are ready, they will be sent back to your dentist and bonded on. You can show off your results right after and start feeling confident about them. It\u2019s typical to experience some sensitivity, but it should go away more and more each day. If it\u2019s worsening, then let your dentist know so they can take a look. They shouldn\u2019t feel much different from normal once it\u2019s gone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, if you changed the shape of your teeth with the shells, then the difference might be more noticeable. Your tongue and mouth will need time to adjust, which can take a couple of weeks. Thankfully, they should be completely comfortable once this transition period is done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, veneers can give you the aesthetic smile you\u2019ve been wanting without feeling strange. While you may need to get used to them first, they can give you the grin transformation you\u2019ve always wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
