Does Getting Veneers Hurt?

In this video, Dr. Chris Powell explains that getting veneers involves manageable temporary soreness similar to receiving a crown or filling.

People often ask if getting veneers is painful. The process of preparing your teeth for veneers can be likened to that of receiving a crown or a filling. While there may be some soreness and discomfort involved during the preparation phase, it is generally manageable. For those with stained teeth or individuals looking to enhance the size and shape of their teeth, the temporary discomfort is usually considered a worthwhile trade-off for the significant aesthetic improvement that veneers provide.
