They shouldn't put local anesthetic on a patient rite? How can a patient feel if the final veneers are comfortable or not if he's numbed and his gum %26amp; teeth can't feel anything rite?

I'm a dentist.





You will likely not need anesthetic, either topical or injected, if your doctor prepared your teeth for the veneers properly (i.e. drilled them down no more than needed). Under normal circumstances, the amount of tooth structure that needs to be removed is quite small--about 1mm, give or take, depending on the amount of modfication to the tooth's shape that needs to be made.





If your teeth are particularly sensitive, however, you obviously may need anesthesia. Also, if your gingiva isn't healthy and bleeds a lot, local anesthetic with vasoconstrictor may be used to minimize bleeding. If blood seeps between the veneer and the tooth before the cements have cured, you may see a brownish stain under your veneer. This is a serious no-no.





As far as comfort goes, it's really not an issue. Your veneers should not come into contact with your opposing teeth during normal movements of the lower jaw. Your doctor can evaluate this whether you're numb or not.
Reply:Most likely they will give you anesthetic.





You could try it without anesthetic, but it may be too painful to bear. However, then again, it may not be.





It is difficult to feel their comfort when you are numb.. it is one of the toughest things about veneers.





You should discuss this concern with your dentist.
