What are veneers?

Veneers are thin, custom-crafted porcelain shells that are bonded to the front of your teeth to improve shape, size, symmetry, and color. They’re an ideal solution for patients with chipped, uneven, stained, or worn teeth, especially when other treatments like whitening or bonding can’t achieve the desired effect. At SMDA, veneers aren’t just about looking perfect. We aim to enhance the harmony of your facial features and smile. Using digital scans, photography, and design previews, we tailor every case to your personality, lifestyle, and long-term goals.

Why choose porcelain veneers?

Veneers offer a unique blend of durability and aesthetics, giving patients a long-lasting, life-changing smile transformation. Our team takes a personalized, artistic approach to ensure every result is natural-looking, balanced, and true to you.

Customized for you

No one-size-fits-all smiles here. Every veneer is designed to reflect your natural features, preferences, and facial dynamics.

Stain-resistant, long-lasting results

Porcelain resists staining better than natural enamel and, with proper care, veneers can last 10–15 years or longer.

Minimal prep, maximum transformation

In many cases, only a small amount of enamel is adjusted, allowing for a dramatic result with a conservative approach.

Discover what’s possible

Designed with precision and artistry, our veneers are hand-crafted to fit your features, personality, and lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Considering veneers? Here are some of the most common questions we get from patients like you.

Not at all. Our veneers are crafted to look like enhanced versions of your natural teeth, not overly white or bulky. We partner with elite ceramists and use facial analysis to ensure every smile looks refined and realistic.

Veneers require the same care as natural teeth: regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings. Avoid biting hard objects (like ice or pens), and wear a nightguard if recommended to protect against grinding.

Possibly. We’ll evaluate your existing restorations and gum health during your consult. In some cases, we may recommend treating underlying issues or replacing older work as part of a full smile plan.

Such a great experience every time I come in. The office is clean, modern, and has a really relaxing feel. I love that both Dr. Koshki and his son, Dr. David, take the time to get to know you and make sure you’re comfortable. The hygienist was super gentle, and the whole team works really well together. This is hands down my favorite dental office in Santa Monica.

Brian R.

Had my first visit with Dr Koshki this morning, and found he and the entire staff (Vicki and Oscar at reception, and Carla in the treatment room), warm, welcoming, and reassuring.  I appreciated the clear communication, warm humor, and thorough attention to each little aspect of my concerns.

Heidi N.

I’ve been a patient here for over 20 years, and my experience at the new office was excellent. I recently saw Dr. David Koshki, and he was outstanding—he performed a very thorough cleaning, took his time, and answered all of my questions clearly and thoughtfully. The visit was professional, comfortable, and reassuring, and it’s great to see the same high level of care continue over the years. Highly recommend.
