    Detailed Answer

    Based on Dr. Bashi’s video, with additional information for clarity and context.

    The amount of tooth preparation for veneers varies. Before treatment, Dr. Bashi evaluates the teeth and discusses comfort measures. Local anesthesia may be used when appropriate; individual sensitivity differs.

    Preparation is followed by a digital scan or physical impression. The custom veneers are then fitted and bonded at a later appointment. Temporary sensitivity can occur, and the bite should be checked if it feels uncomfortable after placement.

    Tell the team about existing sensitivity and any concern about pain. The treatment plan and anesthetic approach should be tailored to your needs.
