Who actually provides your dental care?
Direct answer
Your care is provided by an independently licensed dentist working in a practice that person or their partners own. That dentist is solely responsible for examining you, diagnosing, recommending treatment, performing it, and following up. 1-800-VENEERS™ is a platform: it introduces you and provides software. Using this site creates no doctor-patient relationship.

| Technology vendor | Third-party device manufacturers | Device design, FDA clearance, training, service |

What a platform is, versus a practice
A platform publishes information and makes introductions. A practice examines a person, forms a diagnosis, obtains informed consent, performs treatment, and keeps the record. Only a licensed clinician inside a practice can do the second list. Any site that implies otherwise is describing marketing, not care.
No doctor-patient relationship is created here
Nothing on this site — including quiz results, cost estimates, simulations, or chat responses — is a diagnosis, a treatment recommendation, or medical advice for any individual. A doctor-patient relationship begins only when a licensed dentist examines you and accepts you as a patient.
How to confirm who is treating you
- Ask for the practice's legal business name and the treating dentist's full name.
- Look up the dentist's license with the state dental board where the practice is located.
- Look up the dentist's NPI in the federal NPI registry.
- Confirm in writing which entity will charge you and which entity keeps your records.
What we cannot confirm
- We cannot speak to what any individual clinician will recommend for you. Treatment planning is theirs alone.
- We do not hold your clinical records and cannot produce, correct, or transfer them.
