How to choose a veneers surgeon

Credentials, questions, and red flags when choosing a veneers surgeon.

The single biggest predictor of a great veneers result isn't the technique or the city — it's the surgeon. Take the time to choose well.

Credentials that matter

• Board certification (ABPS, ABFPRS, or relevant specialty board)
• Hospital privileges at an accredited hospital
• Fellowship training in the specific area
• High annual case volume in this exact procedure
• Before-and-after portfolio with depth and consistency

Questions to ask in consultation

• How many veneers cases do you do per year?
• What's your revision rate, and who revises your cases?
• Where will my surgery be performed and by whom?
• What technique would you choose for me, and why?
• Can you show me cases with starting anatomy similar to mine?

Red flags

• Pressure to book on the same day as your consultation.
• No willingness to discuss complications or revisions.
• Heavily filtered before/after photos with inconsistent lighting.
• Operating in a non-accredited facility.
• Unwillingness to put quotes and consents in writing.
