Where Your Teeth Allow
What Are Luma Porcelain Veneers?
No prep veneers are thin porcelain shells bonded directly to the front surface of your teeth without removing any natural tooth enamel beforehand. Traditional veneers require a small amount of enamel to be reduced to create room for the veneer and prevent it from adding unwanted bulk. No prep veneers skip that step entirely, making them a fully reversible option. They work best when a patient's natural teeth are already smaller than the planned veneer shape, so the added porcelain sits flush without creating thickness or altering the bite. The result is a new smile shape, shade, and length with zero permanent change to the underlying tooth.

Luma Porcelain Veneers are thin porcelain shells bonded to the front surface of your teeth. Traditional veneers require a small amount of enamel to be reduced to create room for the veneer and prevent it from adding unwanted bulk. No prep veneers skip that step and work best when a patient's natural teeth are already smaller than the planned veneer shape, so the added porcelain sits flush without creating thickness or altering the bite. Whether your case is no prep, minimal prep, or a combination is decided tooth by tooth after your consultation and smile design. The result is a new smile shape, shade, and length.
No Prep Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers placed onto your natural teeth without removing any enamel. Suited to patients whose natural tooth size and position allow it, which your smile design confirms after consultation.
Combination Prep and No Prep
For most smile makeovers, LA Dental Clinic uses a combination approach, matching the level of preparation, from none to minimal, to the specific geometry of each individual tooth rather than applying one method across the whole arch.
Smile Try-On Preview
Before any permanent treatment, patients preview their new smile using temporary reversible composite material. No drilling, no numbing, no commitment until you are completely satisfied.
Digital Smile Design
X-rays, digital scans, and clinical photography are used to plan the final shape, size, and shade of each veneer before any treatment begins. What you approve in the preview is what gets placed.
Luma Composite Bonding Veneers are a separate service at LA Dental Clinic with their own dedicated page. Composite bonding is generally less invasive and usually no prep. If you are unsure whether Luma Porcelain Veneers or Luma Composite Bonding Veneers is the right treatment for you, LA Dental Clinic will assess both options during your consultation and explain the clinical reasoning behind the recommendation.

How Luma Porcelain Veneers Work at LA Dental Clinic
LA Dental Clinic follows a four-step process for every veneer case in Los Angeles. No permanent treatment begins until you have seen, approved, and confirmed your result.
1
Free Virtual Consultation (15 minutes)
Book a free virtual consultation to meet the doctor, discuss your goals, and get a ballpark estimate for your veneer treatment. Available for patients in Los Angeles and those traveling from outside the area.
2
In-Person Consultation and Records Collection
At your first in-person appointment, LA Dental Clinic takes X-rays, a digital scan, and professional photographs of your teeth. You will discuss your treatment options and goals, receive a quote and timeline, and if ready, begin your custom smile design, which determines how much preparation each tooth needs.
3
The Smile Try-On
Before any permanent work begins, LA Dental Clinic gives you a physical preview of your new smile using temporary reversible composite material shaped directly on your teeth. No drilling. No numbing. You can bring a friend, take your time, and take the try-on home before making any decision. Permanent treatment only proceeds once you are 100% satisfied.
4
Final Veneer Placement
Once you have approved your smile design, LA Dental Clinic places your permanent Luma Porcelain Veneers matched exactly to the try-on result. What you see in the preview is what you get. There are no surprises.
The Doctors Placing Your No Prep Veneers
Porcelain veneer outcomes depend on the clinician placing them. The bond strength, shade selection, shape design, and occlusal adjustment all require advanced cosmetic training and significant case volume. At LA Dental Clinic, that work is done by Dr. Arezoo and Dr. Azy Nasiry, who together bring more than 30 years of combined experience to every case. Both doctors hold faculty positions at the UCLA School of Dentistry, where they teach advanced cosmetic and restorative technique to other practicing dentists. Dr. Azy Nasiry also holds a Biomimetic Mastership from the Alleman Center, the highest level of biomimetic certification available, which directly informs how conservatively she approaches every cosmetic case. Patients at LA Dental Clinic are being treated by the clinicians who train other dentists, not associates following a protocol.
Both Dr. Arezoo and Dr. Azy Nasiry are UCLA faculty members with over 30 years of combined cosmetic dental experience. Their conservative, enamel-preserving approach to veneers is the same philosophy they teach at the university level.

"Terrific dentist!!! Friendly, compassionate and knowledgeable. She and her staff made me feel cared for and valued as a patient. I need tons of dental work and I didn't feel judged for having "bad teeth". For the first time in a long time I'm confident that I have a dentist that actually cares about me as a person first and patient second. I am confident that Dr. Nasiry will help to restore the smile I lost years ago. I can't thank her enough"

"I came in for a dental emergency and they took care of me day of! They were also so fast which I appreciate. The room had a tv, the staff were nice, and I will be coming back.
It was definitely pricey as I do not have dental insurance, but you get what you pay for."

"Absolutely wonderful! I hadn't been to the dentist in a few years, and everyone made sure I got the treatment I needed without being judgemental or condescending about it. The hygienist is kind and talkative, and everyone was very cognizant of my needs and made sure I wasn't in pain. Dr. Nasiry is great, and I completely trust her with my teeth and their future care! (They are also very upfront and honest about pricing, which is very appreciated.)"
Stefanie W.
"Was in the Los Angeles area for business, and my veneer came off. Not only did they answer my call at 3am but got me into see a dentist in between their already booked schedule. Once I arrived I was greeted by a very kind receptionist and a clean waiting room. I was taken back by Jose, very nice and diligent tech and then I got to meet my dentist. Like an angel for my teeth. The doctor was friendly, gentle and incredibly knowledgeable. She got me fixed up and helped me find dentist back in phx to continue my care. I am making plans to travel back to Los Angeles to see LA Dental again! Amazing!"

"This is my first time here at LA Dental Clinic and I love how caring, relatable, professional, and knowledgeable Dr. Golara, Sara, Cynthia, and Gloria are. They let me know everything that is being done for my son's teeth. They were patience with him by ensuring that he understands what they are doing, the different instruments being used, how they are doing the x-rays, and etc. The office is very clean and they have parking, which is always a plus. Thank you for your help with my son and getting his perfect smile. The prices are very reasonable and not pressured into anything you do not feel comfortable doing.

"Dr. Azy, Jesus and Sara completely changed how I feel about my smile. I used to hide it and now I catch myself smiling more without even thinking. It feels so good to finally love it.
The composite bonding experience felt more like self care than a scary dental visit and that says everything. So grateful I found this place! They really helped me feel like myself again."

"My first visit at Dr. Nasiry was excellent. The staff was welcoming friendly and funny. They eased my nerves. Once I was seated they had music playing which was new but pleasant. The doctor was easy to talk to and she listen to all my concerns. She makes you feel like you are her number one priority. Ive had braces put it and I was terrified but they all helped me get through it. I have a favorite assistant who goes above and beyond to make sure you are ok and getting the best treatedment. This place is great and im glad I made the decision to make them my permanent dental family."

COMMON QUESTIONS
Your Questions About Smile Makeovers in Los Angeles
Can I get no prep porcelain veneers?
No prep veneers work when your natural teeth are already smaller than the final planned veneer shape, so the added porcelain does not create unwanted bulk or alter the bite. For most full smile makeover cases, LA Dental Clinic uses a combination of no prep and traditional prep veneers depending on the starting position of each individual tooth. Whether no prep is achievable is determined after your consultation, during your smile design, tooth by tooth, not as a blanket decision for the whole arch.
Who is not a candidate for Luma Porcelain Veneers?
The health and function of your teeth takes priority over cosmetic treatment at LA Dental Clinic. Patients with severely crowded teeth will typically be advised to complete Invisalign treatment before veneers are placed, rather than using veneers to compensate for misalignment. Active gum disease must be resolved before any cosmetic treatment begins. Multiple untreated cavities are also addressed first. These are not obstacles to treatment, they are the correct clinical sequence.
How many veneers do I need?
This depends on what you want to achieve. If you want to make your teeth considerably whiter and change the overall shape of your smile, you will typically need veneers on all the upper teeth that show when you smile, which is 8 to 10 teeth for most patients. If you only want to address a few smaller or chipped teeth without changing the color or general shape of the rest of your smile, fewer veneers may be sufficient. LA Dental Clinic discusses this in detail during your in-person consultation using your digital smile design.
Do I need Invisalign before veneers?
If your teeth are misaligned and your bite is not correct, Invisalign before veneers is typically the right clinical sequence. At LA Dental Clinic, the smile design is completed first, then Invisalign is used to move your teeth into position just behind where the final veneers will sit. This allows for a significantly more conservative veneer preparation and avoids the need to remove additional enamel to compensate for tooth position.
Do actors and public figures choose Luma Porcelain Veneers, and why?
Yes. Porcelain veneers, including no prep veneers where the case allows, are a common choice among actors, on-camera talent, and public figures treated at LA Dental Clinic in Los Angeles because the Smile Try-On removes one of the largest psychological barriers to cosmetic treatment. Patients can see exactly what their result will look like before committing to anything permanent. LA Dental Clinic sees a steady number of on-camera professionals and understands the scheduling and appearance demands that working in front of a camera places on cosmetic dental work.
What is the difference between Luma Porcelain Veneers and Luma Composite Bonding Veneers?
They are not the same treatment. Luma Porcelain Veneers are custom-made porcelain shells fabricated in a dental laboratory and permanently bonded to the tooth surface. Luma Composite Bonding Veneers use a direct technique where resin material is built onto the tooth by hand in the chair, in a single visit. Porcelain veneers typically last longer and are more resistant to staining. Composite bonding is generally less invasive, usually no prep, fully repairable if chipped, and generally more cost-effective. No prep treatment can be done in either material depending on the case. LA Dental Clinic offers both as separate services and will explain which is clinically appropriate for you during your consultation.
Is the Smile Try-On preview included in the consultation process?
The Smile Try-On is a separate appointment from your initial in-person consultation at LA Dental Clinic. During the try-on, temporary reversible composite material is shaped and placed on your teeth so you can see and feel your new smile before any permanent work begins. There is no drilling and no anaesthetic required. You can bring a guest and take as much time as you need. Permanent treatment does not begin until you have confirmed the design.
How long do Luma Porcelain Veneers last?
Porcelain veneers placed at LA Dental Clinic are designed to last 10 years or longer with appropriate care. Longevity depends on your oral hygiene habits, your bite, and whether you protect your teeth at night if you grind or clench. LA Dental Clinic will advise on a night guard where clinically appropriate. Regular professional cleaning and hygiene appointments also help maintain the marginal integrity and appearance of the veneers over time.
How do I get to LA Dental Clinic from Silver Lake, Los Feliz, or Downtown Los Angeles?
