Getting veneers should NOT be painful. There are anesthetic injections involved, but if everything is done properly, there should be no pain.

Not generally. I offer my patients to get numb or we can try without and if if bothers them then I can make them numb. Some patients do without and some prefer to be numb. If you're concerned in any way, talk to your dentist. Consider getting a night guard after your veneers to protect them. And remember to moderate your food and drink temperature. Like a sidewalk cracks from extremes in temperature, so can porcelain. So don't have ice cold drinks with hot meals, for instance.
Veneers are minimally prepped. Meaning the tooth are minimally shaved down. You will be numb during the process so you are comfortable.
It's important to communicate with your dentist. If you are experiencing discomfort during a procedure, usually additional anesthesia can be given. Most dental procedures should not be painful, and that includes veneer procedures.
No! Most patients report no pain or discomfort at all during treatment. This is because the procedure is minimally-invasive. The only preparation required for veneers is the removal of a thin layer of enamel from your teeth.
This layer of enamel is equal in thickness to the veneer, so it’s removed to ensure a seamless fit. This can be done under a local anesthetic, and the layer of enamel is so thin that there is no pain for the patient.
