The questions patients
actually ask.

The consultation is $475. It includes a one-on-one evaluation with Dr. Marashi and a personalized written treatment plan with transparent pricing.

The practice is fee-for-service and does not bill insurance directly. Most cosmetic veneer work is not covered by dental insurance regardless of the provider. For general dentistry procedures that may be covered, a detailed receipt is provided so you can submit for out-of-network reimbursement.

The practice partners with third-party financing providers that offer monthly payment plans for qualifying patients. Options are discussed transparently at the consultation alongside the written estimate.

When designed by a specialist, yes. Dr. Marashi's 'Quiet Luxury' approach factors in your skin tone, lip movement, age, and facial structure so the result reads as a natural smile rather than 'veneers.' His exclusive Marashi Collection shades replicate the translucency of real enamel.

The process typically requires two sessions over roughly two weeks. The first session includes tooth preparation, digital scans, and temporaries. The second is precision bonding of your custom veneers with in-mouth adjustments for the final fit.

Traditional porcelain veneers require a small amount of enamel removal and are considered permanent. No-prep veneers, when you are a candidate, are minimally invasive and theoretically reversible because little to no tooth structure is removed.

When done correctly by a specialist, traditional veneers remove only a thin layer of enamel and do not damage the underlying tooth. Poorly done veneers can cause gum irritation, decay at the margin, or bite issues, which is why prep technique and material choice matter so much.

Candidacy depends on tooth position, size, and shape. Patients with already-protruding or crowded teeth are usually not candidates because adding material would push the smile forward. Dr. Marashi evaluates candidacy honestly at the consultation. See the full prep vs no-prep comparison.

Not when designed properly. The risk of a bulky look comes from over-using no-prep on patients who weren't candidates in the first place. Dr. Marashi declines no-prep cases where adding material would compromise the aesthetic.

Common signs include teeth that look too white, too opaque, too uniform, or visibly bulky from the side; dark lines at the gumline; bite discomfort; and gum irritation. See our seven-point checklist for spotting bad veneers.

Redos require more diagnostic work, careful removal of the existing veneers, and often address bite, gum, or color issues left by the prior dentist. Treatment time and cost are usually higher than a first set for the same number of teeth.

11777 San Vicente Blvd, Suite 521, Los Angeles, CA 90049, in the Brentwood neighborhood of West Los Angeles. The practice serves patients from Beverly Hills, Bel-Air, Santa Monica, Malibu, Pacific Palisades, and Manhattan Beach.

Mon-Thu: 7:00 AM - 5:00 PM. Fri: 7:00 AM - 4:00 PM. Closed Saturday and Sunday. Private after-hours appointments are available for select patients on request.

There is essentially no downtime. Most patients return to work and normal activities the same day. Mild gum tenderness and temperature sensitivity for two to seven days is typical and resolves on its own.

Brush twice daily with a non-abrasive toothpaste, floss daily, and use a nightguard if you grind. Avoid biting hard objects like ice or fingernails. Continue regular hygiene cleanings that are safe for veneers.

New-patient consultations are typically scheduled two to four weeks out. Treatment dates are scheduled at the consultation and depend on case complexity and lab time.
