Why It Matters
AACD Accredited. One of Very Few in the Bay Area
The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry Accreditation is not a membership you pay for. It requires submitting clinical cases for peer review and demonstrating a consistently high standard of cosmetic dental outcomes. Dr. Khandaqji is one of a small number of AACD Accredited cosmetic dentists in the Bay Area. What this means for you: every smile we design is held to a standard that most cosmetic dentists never have to meet.
How It Works
Beautiful Smiles Don't Happen by Chance.
Every transformation begins with careful planning, thoughtful design, and attention to every detail.
Cosmetic Treatments We Offer
Every treatment listed below begins with a proper diagnosis - never a sales pitch.
Porcelain Veneers
Ultra-thin porcelain shells bonded to the front surface of your teeth. Custom-crafted to match your natural tooth colour, shape, and translucency.
Composite Veneers
A more affordable alternative to porcelain. Sculpted directly on your teeth in a single visit for chips, gaps, or minor shape corrections.
Smile Makeovers
A combination of two or more cosmetic treatments planned and sequenced to create a complete smile transformation from first visit to final result.
Teeth Whitening
Professional-grade whitening that goes beyond what over-the-counter products can achieve - safe, supervised, and lasting.
Gum Contouring
Reshaping the gum line to create better proportion between your teeth and gums - often the missing piece of a truly balanced smile.
Dental Bonding
Tooth-coloured composite resin applied to repair chips, cracks, gaps, or discolouration with minimal preparation and in a single appointment.

"I Never Smiled in Photos." — Andrea
Andrea spent years hiding her smile in photos. Rather than starting with veneers, we started with a diagnosis — evaluating her symmetry, bite, and the missing tooth behind her concern. The result is so natural no one can tell any dentistry was done.
Common Questions
Things Patients Ask Before Getting Veneers
This is the most common concern we hear. The answer depends entirely on the skill of the dentist and the quality of the laboratory. At AACD Accreditation level, every restoration is designed to match the natural variation in your teeth – the translucency, the texture, the shade. The goal is always a result that looks like it always belonged there.
Traditional porcelain veneers require minimal preparation of the tooth surface – typically less than a millimetre. This is why a proper evaluation matters first. In some cases, minimal-prep or no-prep veneers are possible depending on your tooth structure and desired outcome. We will tell you exactly what your case requires before any treatment begins.
With proper care and a stable bite, porcelain veneers can last 15 to 20 years or longer. The most common reason veneers fail early is an unaddressed bite issue. This is why we always evaluate bite stability before any cosmetic work – it is the difference between a result that lasts and one that needs replacing in five years.
Yes – and we recommend it. If you are planning to whiten, do so before your veneers are made so we can match the porcelain to your whitened shade. Veneers cannot be whitened after placement.
Porcelain veneers are crafted in a dental laboratory and bonded to your teeth – they are more durable, more lifelike, and more stain-resistant. Composite veneers are sculpted directly on your teeth in one visit – they are more affordable and reversible but less durable long-term. We will recommend the right option based on your goals, your budget, and your bite.
