Our number one question! But in general, dental work does not hurt. In fact, we make sure to numb the area we’re working on so that you don’t feel any pain during your procedure. We also use a special desensitizing agent underneath all of our fillings, crowns, and veneers, which reduces post-operative pain. Some patients do experience very minor temperature sensitivities and biting sensitivities for a few days after some procedures. This is completely normal. You can easily relieve this pain by using an over-the-counter pain reliever and rinsing with warm salt water.
