Health information disclaimer: This directory is informational only and not medical advice. Rankings reflect publicly available Google ratings and review volume, not clinical outcomes. Verify any practitioner’s credentials and registration with the relevant medical board before booking.

How we score

Every figure on this page is pulled from public Google data as of the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the practice’s live Google star average. Review volume measures how many patients have left a rating, weighed against other Los Angeles cosmetic dentists. Confidence combines the two, so a 5.0 built on nearly 1,800 reviews counts for more than a 5.0 from a few dozen. Recency tracks how recently patients are still reviewing. No practice can pay to change these numbers.

How much do cosmetic dentistry procedures cost in Los Angeles? (2026)

Cosmetic dental pricing varies enormously depending on material, number of teeth treated, and the dentist’s experience level. None of the practices on this page publish a full, verifiable public price list, so specific figures aren’t listed here. Ask for an itemized written estimate at your consultation, and most of these practices offer that consultation for free.

Serving all of Los Angeles

These cosmetic dentists cover Century City, Downtown LA, Larchmont Village, MacArthur Park and the wider LA metro. Looking for a cosmetic dentist near me? Each listing below includes a phone number and address so you can check availability and book a consultation.

What to ask before you book a cosmetic dentist

  • Can I see before-and-after photos of similar cases the dentist has treated?
  • What material options are available for veneers, and how do the costs compare?
  • Is the initial cosmetic consultation free?
  • How long does the full treatment typically take, from consultation to final result?
  • What is the expected lifespan of the treatment, and what does the warranty cover?
  • Will the same dentist perform every stage of my treatment?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these cosmetic dentists?

We started from cosmetic dentists in Los Angeles with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (July 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

What’s the difference between veneers and teeth whitening?

Whitening lightens your existing enamel and is temporary, needing touch-ups over time. Veneers are thin shells bonded to the front of teeth and can change shape and color permanently. Several dentists on this page offer both.

Do cosmetic dentists in Los Angeles offer payment plans?

Many do, since cosmetic work is often not covered by insurance. Ask about financing options and get the full payment schedule in writing before starting treatment.

The bottom line

Bill Dorfman is the safest default given the sheer depth of proven, consistently 5-star patient volume, while Shervin M. Louie is the strongest pick if you want one dentist for the long haul. Whoever you choose, get the full treatment plan and cost estimate in writing before work begins.
