Porcelain Veneers inSan Francisco & Mountain View
Veneers are thin shells of porcelain, bonded to the front of your teeth to reshape their color, proportion, and line. At Zen Dental Studio, we design your smile before anyone touches a tooth: your goals captured in detail, the shapes worked out on screen and in your own mouth first, the final porcelain hand-crafted by master ceramists at premier partner labs. You see where it ends before it begins.

Every case gets our full attention
While your case is with us, it has our full attention. Each smile gets the time it needs, the right lab and materials, and a careful multi-step process. Nothing about your smile is guessed at, and nothing is rushed toward a finish.
Cosmetic dentistry lives in millimeters. The length of an edge, the way light falls across a surface, the balance between two front teeth. These are the details that decide whether a smile reads as yours or as dental work. We build the whole process around getting them right.
- Your goals and your face lead the design, not a template
- Records measured in microns, from iTero scan to final shade
- The same team with you from first consultation to final bond
Seven steps to a smile you're completely happy with
The design comes first. Everything after it is careful execution.
Consultation & goal discovery
We start with what you want to change and why. The photos you’ve saved, the things you notice, the look you’re after. Nothing is measured until we understand where you want to end up.
Records & digital smile design
We capture full photography and an iTero 3D scan, then design your new smile digitally. You see proposed shapes and proportions on screen, and we refine them together before a single tooth is prepared.
Trial smile: wear the design
From the approved design we print a physical mock-up and place it right over your teeth, with no drilling. You wear your future smile, see it in the mirror and in daylight, and tell us what to adjust.
Conservative, enamel-minded preparation
When the design is settled, we prepare the teeth conservatively, removing only what the porcelain needs to sit naturally. Preserving healthy enamel is the goal at every turn.
Provisionals worn & refined
We print and fit temporaries taken directly from your approved design, so you live in the new smile for a stretch of real days. Your feedback here shapes the final porcelain, from length and edges to how it feels to speak and eat.
The ceramist & custom shading
Your case goes to a master ceramist who hand-layers the porcelain, tooth by tooth. A custom shade session matches color, translucency, and character to your face, so the result reads as enamel, not overlay.
The reveal: try-in & bonding
We try the finished veneers in first, so you approve the result before it becomes permanent. Only then do we bond them. It is the look you already signed off on, made final.
The care behind the porcelain
Designed, then made
Your smile is drawn, printed, and worn before it’s crafted. You will have already seen and approved the design before the porcelain is made.
A master ceramist on every case
The final veneers are hand-layered by ceramists at premier partner labs. Porcelain is only as good as the records behind it, and the hand that lays it.
Shade matched to your face
A dedicated shading session tunes color and translucency to you. That is the difference between veneers that disappear and veneers that stand out.
One team, start to finish
The same people carry your case from first scan to final bond, with everything measured in microns and nothing handed off to chance.
Transparent about cost, always
Veneers are a significant investment. The number comes to you in writing, before anything begins.
One written estimate, up front
At your consultation, before any work starts, you receive a single written estimate, per tooth and per case. The number you approve is the number you pay.
No surprises later
The estimate covers the plan we’ve agreed on. Nothing is added mid-treatment without you seeing it first, in writing.
Payment plans available
For a significant investment, we offer payment plans to spread the cost over time, discussed openly at the consultation.
Priced for the level of the work
Best labs, best materials, a rigorous multi-step process. The estimate reflects the care behind every step, and you’ll see exactly what it covers.
