Does it hurt to have dental veneers and how much do they cost
Veneers require in the majority of cases a small amount of tooth to be removed from the front and tip of the tooth. This can lead to some sensitivity but it is rare for this to be for a prolonged time provided the veneers are placed correctly.There is far less tooth removed for veneers than when conventional crowns are made. For this reason I try and place veneers where ever possible if I am improving someone’s smile instead of using crowns. On rare occasions the nerve inside the tooth may be affected requiring root canal, treatment- this is usually when the tooth to start with was heavily filled or in poor alignment with the other teeth.
All in all veneers are a good form of treatment to give you an immediate improvement in your smile. If your teeth are in poor alignment I would always recommend braces first to correct this prior to veneers.
