Porcelain Veneers for Beverly Hills: Discreet Artistry on Rodeo's Doorstep
Beverly Hills patients have their pick of cosmetic dentists. Many still drive the short stretch of Wilshire west to see Dr. Jon Marashi in Brentwood, where the work is hand sculpted under surgical magnification and the studio is built around privacy, not foot traffic.
Eight Minutes From Rodeo, Worlds Away in Feel
The drive from the Beverly Hills Hotel to our suite at 11777 San Vicente Boulevard takes about eight minutes outside of rush hour. Take Sunset west to Bundy, or Wilshire to San Vicente. The building has a covered garage with direct elevator access to the suite, which means no street-level recognition and no walk past a busy waiting room. For many of our Beverly Hills patients, that quiet arrival is the entire reason they cross town.
Why Beverly Hills Patients Increasingly Cross to Brentwood
Beverly Hills has more cosmetic dentists per block than almost any zip code in the country. That density is also the problem. Patients who want their treatment kept private often prefer a practice that sits one neighborhood over: same caliber of work, none of the visibility. Dr. Marashi sees patients by appointment only, runs a single chair at a time, and does not stack consults. If your face is one that gets recognized on Bedford or Roxbury, that matters.
The Art of the Natural Smile
Dr. Marashi's approach is Quiet Luxury. Veneers are designed to look like your teeth, only refined: natural translucency, hand-finished texture, proportions matched to your face rather than a stock shade chart. He hand sculpts each veneer in the mouth under surgical magnification, which is uncommon even in this market. The result reads as a well-rested version of you, not as cosmetic work.
What the Two Visits Actually Look Like
Treatment is typically two primary visits over about two weeks. The first runs long, usually a good part of the day. Dr. Marashi prepares the teeth under the microscope, removing only the minimum enamel needed for a clean margin, then hand sculpts a set of temporary veneers that carry the proposed shape, length, and proportion. You leave in temporaries and live in them, eat in them, speak in them, and see how they photograph. Anything that feels off gets noted and changed before the porcelain is made. The second visit is the bond, where each final veneer is seated under magnification and the bite and edges are refined. A short follow-up confirms comfort, and a custom night guard protects the work.
Prep or No-Prep: How the Decision Gets Made
No-prep veneers remove no enamel at all and are fully reversible, but they only work when tooth position, size, and existing color allow ultra-thin porcelain to be added rather than substituted. If teeth are crowded, rotated, already large, or deeply discolored, adding porcelain on top produces the bulky look Beverly Hills patients say they are trying to avoid. Conventional preparation, kept deliberately minimal, is the more conservative choice in those cases even though it removes a small amount of enamel. Dr. Marashi makes that call at the consultation after looking at your bite and lip line, not before.
Redoing Veneers Done Somewhere Else
A meaningful share of the Beverly Hills patients who come to us already have veneers. The complaints repeat: too white, too square, too thick at the gum line, dark margins showing after a few years, or a smile that reads as dental work from across a room. Old veneers are removed under the microscope specifically to protect what is left of the underlying tooth, the design is rebuilt from facial proportion rather than from the previous set, and the replacement is hand layered to sit properly against the gum. Redo cases take longer to plan than first-time cases and are quoted as their own thing.
What Actually Drives the Investment
There is no per-tooth number that means anything before an exam, and any practice quoting one over the phone is guessing. What moves the figure is how many teeth are being treated, whether the case is a first-time smile design or a correction of previous work, whether the bite needs to be addressed before cosmetics, and the condition of the gums and existing restorations. Dr. Marashi presents a written plan with sequencing and cost after the consultation, so you are deciding with a real number rather than a range.
When Veneers Are Not the Answer
Veneers are the wrong tool for some of the people who ask for them. Active gum disease or untreated decay has to be resolved first. Heavy unmanaged grinding needs to be addressed, or the porcelain pays for it. Teeth that are significantly crowded or protrusive sometimes give a better and more conservative result with orthodontics first and fewer veneers afterward. Teeth that are healthy, well positioned, and only a few shades off may be better served by whitening alone. Dr. Marashi will tell you that at the consultation. It happens often enough that patients should expect it as a possible answer.
The Consultation Itself
Every smile starts with a comprehensive evaluation of facial symmetry, lip dynamics, and dental health. Dr. Marashi considers bone structure, the way you speak, and how your lip moves when you smile, then designs veneers that fit the face rather than a template. The consultation with Dr. Marashi is $475, one hour, one-on-one in our Brentwood office. It is flat, non-refundable, and collected upon scheduling, and it includes a custom written treatment plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
How private is the office for Beverly Hills patients?
Our Brentwood suite is appointment only, single chair, with covered garage parking and direct elevator access to the floor. There is no shared waiting room with other practices and consultations are not stacked back to back.
How long does the drive from Beverly Hills take?
About 8 to 15 minutes depending on traffic. Wilshire to San Vicente is the most direct route. Sunset to Bundy is the scenic one. The building has a covered garage, and street parking is available nearby.
What exactly are porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin shells of high quality ceramic bonded to the front of your teeth. They require minimal removal of natural tooth structure and are used to refine color, proportion, and alignment in a way that still looks like your own teeth.
How long does the veneer process take?
Typically two primary visits over about two weeks. During the first, Dr. Marashi hand sculpts your temporary veneers so you can live with the look. At the second, your final porcelain is bonded in.
Can I go back to work between the two visits?
Yes. You leave the first visit in hand-sculpted temporaries that look presentable, not placeholders. Most patients return to meetings and events during the two-week window. Speech takes a day or two to normalize as your tongue adjusts to the new edges.
How long do veneers last?
With proper care and regular professional cleanings, well-made porcelain veneers can last 15 to 20 years or longer. The precise fit Dr. Marashi achieves under surgical magnification is a major factor in that longevity.
Can veneers done by another Beverly Hills dentist be redone here?
Yes, and it is a regular part of the practice. Existing veneers are removed under the microscope to preserve the tooth underneath, and the smile is redesigned from your facial proportions rather than matched to the previous set. Redo cases require their own planning and their own quote.
Should I get prep or no-prep veneers?
It depends on tooth position, size, and existing color. No-prep veneers remove no enamel and are reversible, but they only suit patients whose teeth can have thin porcelain added without looking bulky. Dr. Marashi determines candidacy at the consultation rather than in advance.
What is the investment for a smile makeover?
Cost is personalized to the complexity of the case and the number of teeth involved. The $475 consultation with Dr. Marashi is one hour, one-on-one in our Brentwood office, flat, non-refundable, and collected upon scheduling, and it includes a custom written treatment plan. Custom pricing for your case is discussed at that visit.
