Aesthetic dentistryin Santa Monica
At Santa Monica Dental Arts, cosmetic care is elevated to an art form. We create beautiful, natural-looking smiles using advanced techniques, world-class materials, and a deep understanding of facial harmony.
What is aesthetic dentistry?
Aesthetic, or cosmetic, dentistry focuses on enhancing the appearance of your smile while preserving and improving function. At SMDA, our cosmetic approach is guided by precision, personalization, and artistry. We go beyond “perfect” to design results that feel natural, healthy, and uniquely yours. Whether you’re seeking subtle improvements or a full smile transformation, we take the time to understand your goals, analyze facial balance, and co-create a plan that works for your lifestyle. Our team partners with elite ceramists and uses high-tech tools, like digital scans and mockups, to preview results and ensure seamless delivery.

Our aesthetic services
Dental cleanings
Routine dental cleanings help prevent cavities, gum disease, and long-term oral health issues. At Santa Monica Dental Arts, our hygienists take their time, using gentle techniques, ultrasonic scalers, and personalized education to ensure your visit is thorough and comfortable. These visits also give us a chance to monitor any changes in your oral health and catch small issues before they become more complex.

Porcelain veneers
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin ceramic shells that are bonded to the front of your teeth to enhance color, shape, and symmetry. At Santa Monica Dental Arts, each case is custom-designed in collaboration with elite ceramists to ensure natural, aesthetic results that reflect your personality and facial features.
Smile design
Smile design is a fully customized approach to aesthetic dentistry that considers your facial proportions, lip line, and personal goals. Through digital previews and wax-up models, we help you visualize the possibilities before treatment begins. This process is ideal for patients seeking a dramatic yet natural transformation.
Dental bonding
Cosmetic bonding uses tooth-colored resin to correct chips, gaps, and minor shape issues without removing natural enamel. It’s a conservative, affordable option for patients looking to make small but meaningful improvements to their smile. Our dentists skillfully shape and polish the resin to blend seamlessly with your teeth.
Teeth whitening
Professional whitening safely lifts stains and brightens your smile several shades. We offer both in-office and take-home options using powerful, enamel-safe ingredients that deliver better results than over-the-counter products. Whitening is often recommended before cosmetic procedures to establish a consistent color baseline.
Invisalign
Clear aligners gently straighten teeth using a series of removable trays custom-made for your smile. Invisalign is ideal for patients seeking a discreet, lifestyle-friendly alternative to braces. At Santa Monica Dental Arts, we often use Invisalign as part of a larger aesthetic plan to improve both alignment and smile harmony.
Dental crowns
For teeth that need both strength and beauty, same-day ceramic crowns offer a functional and aesthetic solution. Using CEREC and in-house milling, we design and place high-quality ceramic restorations in a single visit. These crowns are color-matched and shaped to blend perfectly with your natural smile. We also work with exceptional labs for cases that can benefit from alternate materials and even more customization.
Aesthetic recontouring
Also known as enameloplasty, recontouring gently reshapes the edges of teeth to improve balance and symmetry. It’s a subtle enhancement that can refine your smile without extensive procedures. This treatment is often combined with bonding or whitening for a polished final result.
