Your best smile starts here.

Porcelain veneers can completely transform a smile — but the goal should never be to make every smile look the same. The best veneer cases look natural, intentional, and completely unique to the person wearing them.

Dr. Olivia Moran of San Francisco looks at much more than just the teeth. She studies your face, lips, smile line, gum display, tooth proportions, bite, and overall personality to create a smile that feels beautiful, natural, and truly fitting for you. If you look through the smile gallery, you’ll see that every smile is different.

Dr. Moran performs many porcelain veneer and smile makeover cases and has completed advanced training in cosmetic dentistry, smile design, and comprehensive treatment planning and executing complex cases. Every case is planned and executed with close attention to shape, length, shade, translucency, symmetry, facial balance, and just as important, how the teeth function together.

Each set of porcelain veneers is custom-designed by Dr. Moran and handcrafted in collaboration with some of the best master ceramists in the U.S so the final smile looks natural, polished, and harmonious with your face.

Improve your overall smile

dental clinicdental care services

Veneers can improve a smile from good to great. Sometimes patients just want a better, more perfect smile. Veneers are the perfect option as we are able to customize shade, shape, and size of the veneers to exactly what the patient wants.

Whiten discolored or stained teeth

Years of teeth discoloration from diet or tetracycline stains are usually permanent and whitening will not bring you the shade you want for your teeth. Veneers are the best option as we can customize the shade to be lighter but also look natural and harmonious to your skin tone and the rest of your face.

Fix misaligned teeth and gaps

Sometimes patients don't want to go through Invisalign to fix minor imperfections in the position of their teeth. Veneers are the perfect option to enhance the look of the teeth and have a straighter smile within just three weeks. NOTE: For severely crowded teeth or patients with a bad bite, it may be important to do Invisalign first prior to doing veneers.

Fix acidic erosion, decay, and neglect

Due to diet, health issues, lack of dental care, or other external factors, patients can end up with broken, decayed or eroded teeth when they get older. No matter the situation, we always work with the patient and make a treatment plan to bring their teeth back to health and to give back their smile.

Increase the size of teeth

Having small teeth relative your face, lips, and smile, can impact a smile. Bigger teeth can make a smile more youthful, wider and proportional to the face. Veneers help change the shape of teeth to fit with their smile and face.

Fix worn down teeth from grinding

Years of grinding or excess wear on the front teeth can cause the front teeth to chip and flatten out. This can affect your chewing, your bite, your smile and even a more collapsed lower third of your face. Veneers and crowns can add length back to the teeth resulting in a better bite, building back your smile and increasing back the height of the lower third of your face.

Remove gaps from gum recession

Black triangles are holes in between your teeth previously filled with gums that have now receded. This can cause food traps and can lead to patients being insecure with the gaps in their teeth and smile. With veneers we can shape the teeth a certain way to close the black triangles but still allow for a natural and beautiful smile.

Replace an old set of veneers

Veneers can last a long time. However, sometimes patients may want an upgrade, a new look, or some veneers may start to chip or stain at the margin where gum recession happens. Whatever the reason, we will remove the old veneers and place new and improved veneers catered to what the patient wants.

Dr. Moran and her team are incredible, very thorough and do such a wonderful job.  I feel so much more confident in my smile and never felt more beautiful on my wedding day!
"After years of feeling self-conscious about my crooked and missing front teeth, my confidence has soared thanks to the smile makeover and veneers by Dr. Moran. Throughout the entire process, Dr.Moran provided clear explanations and attentive care, ensuring my complete satisfaction and the perfect result I had always dreamed of.
“After careful evaluation and thoughtful discussion with Dr. Moran, we decided on veneers to restore proper bite height. The result has been genuinely life-changing. Chewing feels effortless now, and I experienced an immediate and lasting reduction in jaw tension and discomfort that I had been dealing with for years.”
“Dr. Moran is very diligent, I have never been so pain and cavity free. I did Invisalign and without MeDental, I would not feel this confident to smile. I am a happy patient!”
“I'd give 10 stars if I could – because Dr. Moran is a truly gifted. My husband wasn't looking for veneers but was blown away by my new teeth, so he's getting them too.”

What to expect

The Veneers Process

What to expect when getting porcelain veneers with Dr. Moran

There is so much information online about veneers, and it can feel like every dentist says they do veneers now. I know it can be overwhelming because veneers are a big decision — financially, emotionally, and personally. My goal is for you to feel comfortable, informed, and confident that we are designing a smile that fits you and gives you the result you are hoping for.

plus iconminus icon

1. Consultation

This is where I get to meet you and understand what brings you in. Some patients want a small improvement. Some want a dramatic smile makeover. Some have worn-down teeth, old bonding, old crowns, bite problems, or a combination of cosmetic and functional concerns. Many patients come in knowing how many veneers they’ll need.

I take into account what the patient thinks they want but I also try to make them understand the results they will get and the different options with more or less veneers.I take photos and a digital scan of your teeth so I can really evaluate your smile, bite, tooth shape, proportions, and overall dental health. If you have a lot of existing dental work, cavities, crowns, or other concerns, I may also take x-rays.

Then I’ll go over what I recommend, how many veneers I recommend you need, and whether anything else needs to be done before we start. Every case is different, and this is why planning matters so much.

plus iconminus icon

2. Smile Design and Mock-Up

Before we start the actual veneers process, I take detailed records of your face, smile, and teeth. I use these photos to design the smile and make sure the shape, length, and proportions make sense for your face.

This is the part I really love because small details make a huge difference. A smile can look beautiful on a model but not fit a real person’s face. I’m looking at how the teeth frame your smile, how much tooth shows when you talk, how the smile fits your lips, and whether the final result will look natural on you.

From there, I work with the lab to create a mock-up so we have a clear plan before touching the teeth.

plus iconminus icon

3. Preparation and Temporary Veneers

This is the appointment where I shape the teeth, take the final scan or impression, and make your temporary veneers.

The question everyone asks is, “How much tooth do you have to remove?” And the answer really depends on your teeth and your goals. I always remove the minimum amount needed to get the best result.

If we are making teeth bigger, longer, or bringing them slightly forward, sometimes I barely have to remove anything. If the teeth are flared, crowded, dark, or if we are closing spaces or black triangles, then I may need to shape more so the veneers do not look bulky or fake.

This is why planning is so important. I need to know where I want the final tooth position to be to determine how much tooth I have to remove, if any. If I remove too little, the veneers may look thick or unnatural. If I remove too much, then we lose more tooth structure than needed. My goal is always to find that balance so the veneers look beautiful, natural, and still preserve as much healthy tooth as possible.

You will be numb during this appointment, so you should not feel pain while I am working. Afterward, sensitivity or gum soreness is normal and usually improves each day.

4. Temporary Veneer Refinement

After you wear the temporary veneers for a few days, I’ll see you again to evaluate them. This appointment is extremely important.

This is when you tell me what you like, what you want adjusted, and how everything feels when you smile, talk, and bite. I also take a lot of close-up and full-face photos because veneers cannot just look good up close. They have to look good in your face.

I spend a lot of time refining aand designing the temporaries because the final veneers are based on them. If the temporaries look natural, fit your face, and look almost perfect, then I can be ensure the final veneers will be just as good and even better. The temporaries is how I communicate to the lab as to how exactly to make the veneers. We will also choose the shade in this appointment and the different characteristics you may want to add to your final veneers. 

plus iconminus icon

5. Final Veneer Placement

The final veneers are usually ready about three weeks later.

At this appointment, I remove the temporaries, try in the veneers, and let you see them before they are bonded. Once you love them, we cement them permanently.

This appointment takes time because bonding veneers is very technique-sensitive. The gums need to be healthy, there should be no bleeding, and the teeth need to stay very dry. I take my time cleaning everything, bonding each veneer properly, removing excess cement, and checking your bite. You will feel pretty sore after this appointment as the cement and bond make the teeth sensitive and the gums will feel sore from removing excess cement. Advil and Tylenol is the best pain relief if needed. 

plus iconminus icon

6. Final Check and Maintenance

After the veneers are placed, I’ll usually see you again to check your bite, gums, comfort, and overall result.

Most patients will need a night guard or retainers especially if they grind or clench. Veneers are strong, but they still need to be protected. Regular cleanings, good home care, and wearing your night guard/retainers are what help keep your veneers healthy and beautiful for many years.

The goal is not just to give you a pretty smile the day we cement the veneers. The goal is to give you a smile that looks natural, feels comfortable, functions well, and lasts.

Treatment

Frequently asked questions

What are porcelain veneers?

Veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are permanently cemented on the front of the teeth to enhance the shape, shade and esthetics of the tooth.

plus iconminus icon

How many veneers do I need?

It depends on the patient's needs, their teeth health, and the overall smile they want. The more veneers done, the more control we have in changing the overlook esthetics and the overall bite.  It also depends on the budget of the patient. Doing two or four veneers can greatly improve a patient's smile.  We avoid doing six veneers in a row as this means stopping at the canines which makes the smile unnatural and the veneers conspicuous.

plus iconminus icon

Do veneers damage your teeth?

No. Veneers don’t actively damage your teeth. However, it’s still possible for the natural tooth structure underneath to decay. Therefore, it’s important to brush, floss and visit your dentist regularly for cleanings.

plus iconminus icon

Are Veneers Permanent?

It depends. Most veneers are considered a semi-permanent solution. Porcelain veneers can last over a decade with proper care, while composite veneers may need replacing after 5–7 years. With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, your veneers can look great for years to come.

plus iconminus icon

Are Veneers Worth It?

Yes. If you value a bright, confident smile and want fast, long-lasting results without invasive surgery, veneers are absolutely worth considering.They’re not a budget option, but they are a high-impact investment in your appearance and self-esteem. Patients at Me Dental SF often tell us the results were “life-changing” — and many say they wish they’d done it sooner.

plus iconminus icon

How long does the whole process take?

The whole process takes up to one month.

1. The first appointment consists of the consultation, determining the wants and needs of the patient, comprehensive digital photography of the full face and teeth of the patient and doing a digital scan. These are sent to the lab to fabricate a wax up.

2. The second appointment will be to prep the teeth and make the temporary veneers. The temporaries are made based on the wax up. The patient will have a few days to test run the temporaries and will be seen a few days after to make any final adjustments.

3. Lastly, the cementation date takes place 2-3 weeks after the prep appointment. This includes cementing the final veneers.

plus iconminus icon

How do I know what the final result will look like?

The temporary veneers gives an idea to the patient as to how the final veneers will look like. The temporaries veneers are made from the wax up from the lab. We send in detailed photos and descriptions as to what the patient wants and what the teeth should look like when giving the instructions to the lab for the wax up. When the temporary veneers are on the patient, the patient has a few days to "test drive" the temporaries and see if they like the esthetics, the shape, and the feel of it. We then do a digital scan of the final temporary veneers and send it to the lab so the lab knows how to proceed with the final veneers. The shade of the final veneers is also chosen together with the patient and is ensured to be customized to patient overall facial esthetics.

plus iconminus icon

How do I protect my veneers?

After the veneers are permanently cemented, we make you a complimentary night guard/retainer to wear every night. This ensures that your veneers and your natural teeth are protected from any grinding or clenching. Additionally, just like taking care of your natural teeth, you have to brush 2x/day and floss 1x/ day and keep up with your every 4-6 month cleanings and check ups.

plus iconminus icon

Does it hurt getting veneers?

During the preparation and cementation appointment you will have to be given local anesthesia. The injections are the only part that may hurt throughout this whole process. With the local anesthetic, you won't feel anything throughout the treatment. We also offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for patients who want extra comfort to alleviate their anxiety.
Post op sensitivity and slight gum soreness is expected, but all this can be alleviated with Ibuprofen and will decrease with time. Post op sensitivity can last up to 3 months.

plus iconminus icon

What dental lab do you use to make the veneers?

We use Frontier Dental Laboratories.

plus iconminus icon

Do you offer payment plans for veneers?

Yes. We have in office payment plans of up to 4-6 months depending on the total cost. We require a 25% deposit upon starting the whole process. We also accept Care Credit.

How much do veneers cost?

We follow the average fee of veneers in San Francisco which ranges from $1900-2000 depending on the case.
