“How long does it take gums to heal after veneers?”

As long as the veneers are properly done ( ie. not bulky at the gums and are properly contoured and shaped) it will take a few days (usually less than a week) for the gums to return to normal. The patient must be able to maintain good oral hygiene also.

Your gums will probably be sore for 1-3 days, depending on what was done to them. There they trimmed to get rid of excess gum tissue? Were they simply moved out if the way with retraction cord? This will affect healing. Be sure to keep your teeth and gums clean with proper, adequate brushing and gentle flossing. If they are sore take "Tylenol" or rinse with warm, not hot, salt water (Follow it with plain water to get the salt out of your mouth.) If your have any concerns, please call your treating dentist.

Maximum up to 2to 3 days just after insertion.
