What porcelain veneers cost in Tustin

Savage Smile publishes flat package pricing rather than quoting per tooth after the fact, so you can compare before you book. These are the published packages:

• 8 veneers: $15,600
• 10 veneers: $19,000
• 12 veneers: $22,800
• Top 8 and bottom 8 matching veneers: $31,200
• Top 10 and bottom 10 matching veneers: $38,000
• Top 12 and bottom 12 matching veneers: $44,400

Every one of those figures includes whitening, gum recontouring as needed, temporary veneers, permanent veneers, two cleanings, clear retainers and follow-up appointments. A quote that looks lower elsewhere often excludes several of those items, so it is worth asking any practice you compare exactly what their number covers.

Dr. Savage's training and credentials

Cosmetic dentistry is not a recognized dental specialty, which means any licensed dentist can advertise veneers. The useful question is what advanced training a dentist has actually completed.

• Dr. Ryan Savage, DDS, practicing in Orange County
• Over 1,000 hours of advanced continuing education in cosmetic dentistry, veneers and full smile rehabilitation
• Graduate of the Spear Education Institute, Scottsdale, Arizona, an ADA CERP recognized provider with a community of more than 17,000 dentists
• Graduate of the Dr. Dick Barnes Group, Sandy, Utah, whose hands-on programs run at Arrowhead Dental Laboratory
• Training focus: advanced aesthetic case design, full mouth reconstruction, occlusion and functional bite optimization, and conservative minimal prep and no-prep veneer technique

The treatment process, start to finish

1. Consultation. A full mouth 3D iTero scan, smile analysis photos and video, X-rays of your bite and tooth structure, and 80 minutes to talk through what your case actually needs.
2. Smile design. Your new smile is designed around your face, your bite and what you want changed, and you see it before anything is prepared.
3. Preparation and temporaries. Teeth are prepared conservatively, using minimal prep or no-prep technique where your case allows, and you leave wearing temporary veneers.
4. Placement. Your permanent porcelain veneers are fitted, adjusted and bonded.
5. Aftercare. Two cleanings, clear retainers and follow-up appointments are already part of the package.

Are you a candidate?

Veneers suit some problems well and are the wrong tool for others. Generally a good fit for chips, worn or uneven edges, permanent staining that whitening will not shift, small gaps, and mildly crowded or rotated teeth where the bite is otherwise sound. Usually not the right first step where there is active decay or gum disease, significant bite or alignment problems that orthodontics should address first, or untreated grinding, which needs managing before porcelain goes on. The consultation exists to sort out which group you fall into, and it is a legitimate answer for a dentist to tell you that veneers are not what you need.

Frequently asked questions

How much do veneers cost in Tustin?

At Savage Smile, packages run from $15,600 for eight porcelain veneers to $44,400 for twenty-four, roughly $1,850 to $1,950 per veneer. Each package includes whitening, gum recontouring as needed, temporary veneers, permanent veneers, two cleanings, clear retainers and follow-ups, so the published figure is the cost of the treatment rather than a starting point.

Where is the nearest veneer dentist to Tustin?

Savage Smile is at 7630 E Chapman Ave Suite A in Orange, CA 92869, the city bordering Tustin. Most Tustin patients reach it in a short local drive rather than traveling to Los Angeles or Beverly Hills for cosmetic dentistry.

How long do porcelain veneers last?

Well-made porcelain veneers typically last ten to fifteen years or more with good home care and regular cleanings. Longevity depends heavily on your bite, whether you grind your teeth, and whether the underlying gum health is maintained.

Do veneers ruin your natural teeth?

Conventional veneers require removing a thin layer of enamel and that change is permanent. Minimal prep and no-prep techniques remove less, and in some cases almost none, which is why candidacy is assessed case by case. Dr. Savage's training focuses specifically on conservative preparation.

How many veneers will I need?

It depends on how many teeth show when you smile and talk. Eight to ten covers the visible upper arch for most people, twelve extends the result wider, and matching top and bottom sets are for patients whose lower teeth show. This is assessed at the consultation using the 3D scan.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. Treatment plans are available from $199 per month.
