Transform Your Smile with Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers at Muse start at $2,000 per tooth, with Founders Collection pricing at $1,500 per tooth through June 30, 2026. Every case is priced individually based on the number of veneers and the complexity of your design. We offer Cherry Financing and Muse Collective Membership to make treatment accessible, and we'll walk through every option at your consultation.

No. Dr. Darian's entire clinical philosophy is built around natural-looking results. That starts with conservative tooth preparation, continues through facially integrated smile design that considers your unique proportions, and ends with color and translucency matched to look like your own teeth at their best. Our patients consistently hear "you look amazing" without anyone being able to point to what's changed.

Muse is the only boutique studio in Del Mar that combines cosmetic dentistry and medical aesthetics under one roof. That means your veneer case can be planned alongside your facial aesthetics for a truly cohesive result. It also means you work with Dr. Darian directly at every step, not a rotating team, and your case receives the time and craft that fee-for-service boutique practice allows.

With proper care and maintenance, porcelain veneers typically last 10-15 years or longer. The lifespan depends on your oral hygiene habits, diet, and how well you care for them. Regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings help ensure they remain beautiful for years to come.

No. The veneer process is virtually painless. We use local anesthesia during tooth preparation if needed, and most patients report feeling only slight pressure during the procedure. Any minor sensitivity after placement typically subsides within a few days.

The number of veneers depends on your smile design goals. Most patients choose 4, 8 or 10 veneers on their upper teeth to create a balanced, symmetrical smile. During your consultation, we'll work with you to determine the ideal number for your unique facial features and aesthetic goals.

Yes. Veneers are excellent for closing gaps between teeth and improving the appearance of minor misalignment. They can be custom-shaped to create the illusion of perfectly aligned teeth. For more significant orthodontic concerns, we may recommend clear aligner therapy first, then veneers, for the most conservative long-term result.

Caring for veneers is simple: brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush, floss daily, and avoid biting on hard objects or using your teeth as tools. Limit staining foods and beverages like red wine and coffee. Regular dental checkups and professional cleanings help maintain their beauty and longevity.

Yes, and we often recommend it. A veneer case looks even more polished when the smile is framed by balanced facial proportions. Many of our patients combine veneers with Sarah's facial balancing work using neurotoxins or filler, creating a cohesive full-face refresh. Because we all work in the same studio, we coordinate your plan so every treatment complements the others.

Most people with healthy teeth and gums are good candidates. Veneers work best if you have adequate tooth structure and good oral hygiene. If you have significant decay, gum disease, or bite issues, we may recommend addressing these first. We'll assess your individual needs during your consultation.
