Did you know that people with dental problems are more likely to report feeling anxious and depressed? If you\u2019re self-conscious about the way you look, you might avoid spending time with others for fear of judgement. This can lead to less rewarding relationships, fewer professional opportunities, and a stagnated social life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your dentist in Lutz can mend or mask aesthetic concerns with veneers<\/a>, but many patients hesitate to schedule their procedure because they don\u2019t know what to expect. If you\u2019re curious about what these restorations feel like, continue reading to learn more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What Are Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Veneers are thin shells usually made from durable ceramic that are bonded over the front surface of your teeth to hide imperfections. They\u2019re a versatile treatment that can be used to address one or several areas of concern like chips, cracks, stubborn stains, mild gaps, or slight overcrowding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, these prosthetics are customized to match the size, shape, and shade of your natural teeth for seamless results. They can last 10 to 20+ years with the right care, making them an excellent long-term solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does Getting Veneers Hurt?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s natural to want to avoid dental procedures that might hurt, but veneers aren\u2019t usually considered painful. That said, your dentist must prepare your teeth by removing a small amount of enamel for the prosthetics to line up correctly against your gums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can cause sensitivity for a few days until you adjust to the change. You might also feel a little sore after your restorations are cemented in place because of the pressure of holding your mouth open for a longer period. If you experience persistent or progressive aches after a week, you should call your dentist to ensure everything fits correctly and functions as intended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Do Veneers Feel Like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re worried that the shells will feel huge and awkward in your mouth, you can safely set your concerns aside. These covers are incredibly thin, only about 0.2 to 0.5 mm thick, so they don\u2019t feel overly bulky. They\u2019re also coated with a protective glaze to resist stains and chips which also gives them a polished, smooth texture similar to your enamel. If they\u2019ve been positioned correctly, you won\u2019t experience ongoing discomfort or irritation, and should be able to bite and chew just like with your natural chompers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veneers are carefully customized at every stage of their creation to look and feel as closely to your natural teeth as possible. Once they\u2019re bonded in place, you\u2019ll have a beautifully upgraded grin you can be proud of!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
