Finding the right dentist isn’t just about routine cleanings. It’s about selecting a trusted partner in your family’s long-term oral health—someone who understands your lifestyle, your neighborhood, and the unique needs of Westside Los Angeles residents.
Whether you live near the Marina del Rey harbor, commute to Silicon Beach, or stroll the Venice Boardwalk, this guide will help you make an informed choice.
1. Look for Comprehensive Services
A truly patient-centered dental office should offer a wide range of care under one roof.
- Preventive dentistry – Cleanings, exams, fluoride treatments, and digital x-rays.
- Cosmetic dentistry – Professional teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and full smile makeovers.
- Restorative care – Dental implants, crowns, bridges, and root canals.
- Specialty services – Periodontics, orthodontics (including Invisalign®), and sedation dentistry for those with dental anxiety.
“Our goal is to provide everything from a child’s first cleaning to complex full-mouth rehabilitation,” says Dr. Sameer Aljanedi, founder of Marina Dentistry.
“It saves patients time and ensures consistent, high-quality care.”
2. Evaluate Experience and Credentials
Experience matters—especially for advanced procedures like dental implants or All-on-X full mouth restorations.
- Check for continuing education and advanced training.
- Ask about the number of procedures performed and success rates.
- Look for affiliations with professional organizations such as the American Dental Association.
Dr. Aljanedi has performed thousands of complex restorative and cosmetic treatments and regularly completes advanced continuing education to stay ahead of the latest techniques.
3. Technology That Enhances Comfort and Precision
Modern dental technology can transform your experience.
- Digital x-rays and 3D imaging reduce radiation and improve diagnostic accuracy.
- iTero® scanners create quick, mess-free impressions for Invisalign and crowns.
- Laser and ultrasonic tools make cleanings and periodontal treatments more comfortable.
These innovations not only improve outcomes but also minimize chair time—ideal for busy Westside LA schedules.

In a community where traffic can be unpredictable, convenience matters.

- A good practice explains all options—whether it’s a single dental implant, porcelain veneers, or a preventive care plan—with transparent pricing and no pressure.
