Who is responsible for your records, follow-up, and warranty?

    Direct answer

    Your treating practice holds your clinical records, owns your follow-up care, and is the party that honors any restorative warranty it offers. 1-800-VENEERS™ retains no protected health information and cannot produce, correct, or transfer a clinical record. Warranties come from the practice or the laboratory, in writing, never from this platform.

    What we do keep

    We keep contact details, the non-clinical intake codes needed to route you, and a record of the messages we sent you. Clinical text is stored as derived codes rather than raw answers, and it is never forwarded to advertising or analytics systems.

    What a warranty is worth

    A verbal warranty is not a warranty. Ask for the term, what is covered, what voids it, whether it survives the dentist selling the practice, and who pays for the laboratory remake. Get it on the practice's letterhead before treatment starts.

    What we cannot confirm

    • We cannot guarantee any practice's warranty performance, and we do not underwrite or insure it.
    • We cannot obtain your records for you; only you or your new provider can request them.
