Porcelain Veneers in Los Angeles

You're tired of hiding your teeth. Chips, gaps, discoloration: they're the first thing you notice, and you worry they're the first thing everyone else notices too. It doesn't have to be this way.

The Direct Answer

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom ceramic shells bonded to the front of your natural teeth to change their color, shape, and proportion. At Dr. Marashi's Brentwood practice, each veneer is hand-sculpted inside the mouth using The Marashi Collection shades, takes two visits over roughly two weeks, and is designed to last 15 to 20 years.

You Deserve Better Than a Quick Fix

Whitening strips, over-the-counter solutions, quick fixes. You've tried them, and they never deliver the results you actually want. Meanwhile, you keep holding back in photos, covering your mouth when you laugh, and wondering what people notice first. The frustration is real. And it doesn't have to continue.

Your Guide: Dr. Marashi

Dr. Marashi has heard your story thousands of times, and he knows exactly how to help. He hand-sculpts each smile inside the mouth, like sculpting a slab of marble or cutting a fine diamond. While most cosmetic dentists outsource the process, he oversees every detail. He uses surgical-grade magnification and considers your age, skin tone, lip elasticity, and how your mouth moves while talking. His exclusive Marashi Collection shades and "Quiet Luxury" aesthetic ensure results so natural they're undetectable.

Am I a Candidate for Porcelain Veneers?

Most adults with healthy teeth and gums are candidates. The clearest indicators include:

  • Stained or discolored teeth that whitening cannot fix (tetracycline, fluorosis, intrinsic staining).
  • Chipped, worn, or shortened front teeth from grinding or years of use.
  • Gaps between teeth you would rather close without braces or Invisalign.
  • Misshapen or undersized teeth, including peg laterals or asymmetry.
  • Crowded or slightly rotated teeth where you want a straighter look without orthodontics. If you want to preserve every bit of natural enamel and prefer a reversible option, ask about no-prep porcelain veneers at your consultation.
  • An existing set of veneers that looks bulky, too white, or unnatural and needs to be replaced. See veneer redo & corrections for how Dr. Marashi fixes failed veneer work from other providers.

Active gum disease, untreated decay, or severe untreated bite issues are addressed first. Untreated grinding is managed with a custom night guard alongside the veneers.

How Much Do Porcelain Veneers Cost in Los Angeles?

Porcelain veneer pricing in Los Angeles varies based on three things: how many teeth are treated, the complexity of the case, and whether any foundational work (bite correction, crown lengthening, redo of failed work) is needed first. Full-arch cases involve more artistry and lab time than a single-tooth match, and correction cases (redoing bulky or failed veneers from another provider) require additional planning.

Every patient starts with the same $475 consultation: one hour, one-on-one with Dr. Marashi in our Brentwood office, serving Los Angeles and Beverly Hills patients. The fee is flat, non-refundable, and collected upon scheduling. Your written treatment plan, produced during the consultation, includes the exact investment for your case.

We are intentionally transparent about the consultation fee. It protects the time of patients who are serious about treatment, and it ensures every consultation receives Dr. Marashi's full attention.

How Long Do Porcelain Veneers Last?

Hand-sculpted porcelain veneers, properly bonded to healthy enamel, are one of the most durable cosmetic restorations in modern dentistry. Most patients see 15 to 20+ years of life from their veneers, with some cases going much longer.

Maintenance is straightforward:

  • Brush and floss normally. Veneers do not require special toothpaste or tools.
  • Twice-yearly hygiene visits. Standard cleanings keep the gum margins healthy and the porcelain polished.
  • Wear a night guard if you grind. The single biggest factor in extending the life of veneers.
  • Avoid using your teeth as tools. No biting fingernails, opening packages, or chewing ice.
  • Coffee, wine, and tea are fine. Porcelain does not stain the way natural enamel does.

Are Porcelain Veneers Worth It?

For the right candidate, yes. Porcelain veneers are one of the few cosmetic treatments that combine long life (15 to 20+ years), a natural look when hand-sculpted properly, and a genuinely life-changing result. Patients who invest in veneers with a highly experienced cosmetic dentist rarely report regret. Patients who chase the lowest price, or who work with a general dentist without dedicated cosmetic training, are the ones who end up in Dr. Marashi's chair years later asking for a redo.

Veneers are worth it when three conditions are met:

  • You are self-conscious enough about your smile that it changes how you show up in photos, conversations, or work. Cosmetic dentistry is emotional work, and the return on investment is measured in confidence, not just aesthetics.
  • Your candidacy is clear. Healthy teeth and gums, a stable bite, and a realistic understanding of what veneers can and cannot do. Dr. Marashi will tell you honestly at your consultation if veneers are the wrong choice.
  • You choose the right provider. Skill and artistry vary enormously in cosmetic dentistry. The technique, materials, and hand of the dentist matter more than the marketing.

Veneers are not worth it if you are shopping on price alone, if you expect them to fix bite problems they cannot fix, or if the underlying tooth structure is unhealthy. That is why the consultation exists.

What Happens If You Don't Act?

Nothing changes. Another year of avoiding photos. Another year of covering your mouth. Another year of wondering what could have been. The longer you wait, the more damage your teeth accumulate, and the more confidence you leave on the table.

For Redo Patients

Had Veneers Done Elsewhere? We Understand.

If your current veneers look too bulky, too white, or just wrong, you are not alone. A significant portion of Dr. Marashi's practice is dedicated to patients who trusted another provider and were left with a result that feels nothing like what they were promised. That experience is frustrating, sometimes even traumatic. We take it seriously.

During your consultation, Dr. Marashi will examine your existing work and explain exactly what went wrong: whether it was the material choice, preparation technique, shade selection, or bite alignment. He will then walk you through how his approach differs, step by step, so you understand why this time will be different.

Many of his most dramatic transformations are correction cases. If you are worried there is not enough tooth structure left, or that a redo could make things worse, bring those concerns to the consultation. Honest answers are the foundation of everything we do here.

Imagine the Difference

Picture walking into a room and smiling without thinking twice. Laughing freely in photos. Looking in the mirror and seeing a smile that matches the life you've built. That's not a fantasy. It's what happens in two sessions with Dr. Marashi.

Common Questions

Everything You Want to Know

How long do porcelain veneers last?+
With proper care, porcelain veneers can last 15 to 20 years or longer. Dr. Marashi's hand-sculpted veneers are designed for exceptional durability and longevity, and the bond between porcelain and enamel is one of the strongest in modern dentistry.
Do veneers look natural?+
Dr. Marashi's 'Quiet Luxury' approach ensures veneers look completely natural and undetectable. He considers your skin tone, lip elasticity, age, and facial structure to create results that look like you, only better.
Do veneers ruin your teeth?+
No, when performed correctly. Traditional porcelain veneers require a very thin layer of enamel to be reshaped so the porcelain sits flush, but the tooth structure underneath remains healthy and protected. No-prep veneers remove no enamel at all. The myth that veneers 'shave teeth down to nubs' comes from aggressive over-preparation done by inexperienced providers, not from veneers themselves.
Are veneers permanent?+
Veneers are considered a permanent restoration because the tooth is reshaped to receive them, but the veneers themselves will eventually need to be replaced. With Dr. Marashi's hand-sculpted porcelain, expect 15 to 20+ years of life before any replacement is considered.
Do veneers feel natural in your mouth?+
Within a few days, yes. Most patients forget the veneers are there. Speech, biting, and chewing return to completely normal once you adjust to the new tooth proportions.
Can I get veneers if I grind my teeth?+
Yes, but you will need a custom night guard to protect the porcelain. Untreated grinding is one of the few things that can shorten the life of veneers, so we address it as part of the treatment plan.
What happens when veneers wear out or break?+
Individual veneers can be replaced without redoing the entire smile. After 15 to 20 years, most patients schedule a refresh of one or more veneers rather than a full replacement.
Veneers vs no-prep veneers, what is the difference?+
Traditional porcelain veneers require minor enamel reshaping and can correct larger color, shape, and proportion issues. No-prep veneers remove no enamel, are fully reversible, and are best for patients who need brightening and minor reshaping rather than a major transformation. Dr. Marashi will recommend the right option at your consultation.
How many sessions does the veneer process take?+
The process typically requires two sessions over approximately two weeks. The first session involves preparation and digital scanning, and the second session is for precision bonding of your custom veneers.
Can old or bad veneers be redone?+
Yes. A significant portion of Dr. Marashi's practice is dedicated to correcting veneers that look bulky, too white, or unnatural from other providers. He specializes in replacing them with natural-looking results.
What are The Marashi Collection shades?+
The Marashi Collection is Dr. Marashi's exclusive range of veneer shades designed to match natural tooth color with unparalleled accuracy. These shades are not available at any other practice.
How much do porcelain veneers cost in Los Angeles?+
Investment varies based on how many teeth are treated, the complexity of the case, and whether foundational work is needed. Every patient starts with the same $475 consultation with Dr. Marashi. It is one hour, one-on-one, flat, non-refundable, and collected upon scheduling.
