You won't need to be numb to have veneers put on, and you can eat lunch right afterward.
Numbing is for when we're drilling into a tooth and getting close to the nerve. We're not doing that. We're bonding thin ceramic onto the front surface of teeth we haven't touched, so there's no nerve to settle down and nothing that needs to heal.
We fit them, we check your bite, and you use them right away.
Compare that to most dental appointments, where you're numb for hours, careful about what you eat, and talking out of one side of your mouth all afternoon.
For a lot of my patients, that's the part that makes this feel doable. The appointment stops being a day you have to plan around.
