About Cosmetic Dental of Westwood
Cosmetic Dental of Westwood is at suite 460, 1762 Westwood Boulevard in the Westwood neighbourhood of Los Angeles — a few blocks from the UCLA campus on the Westwood Village commercial strip. The practice is led by Drs. Sandra Shakibkhoo, Michelle Elihu, and Elnaz Hendifar, with a stated clinical focus on cosmetic dentistry, implants, and full-service general care for the Westwood patient community.
TMJ/TMD treatment is explicitly listed alongside the cosmetic and restorative services. TMJ assessment involves evaluating joint mechanics, muscle palpation, and occlusal analysis to identify whether a patient's symptoms — headaches, jaw clicking, facial pain, or limited mouth opening — are primarily muscular, articular, or occlusion-driven before selecting among splint therapy, occlusal equilibration, or referral for more invasive intervention. In the Westwood patient population, which includes UCLA faculty and staff with work-related stress patterns, TMJ dysfunction presentations are common clinical territory.
Full mouth rehabilitation at a Westwood cosmetic practice reflects the esthetic demands of cases where functional rehabilitation and cosmetic outcome must be planned simultaneously. Patients in the UCLA and Westside corridor often want the functional restoration to also deliver coordinated tooth colour, shape, and proportion — not simply restored occlusion. Prosthetics dentistry as a distinct listed service covers crown and bridge cases beyond the routine single-unit scope, including fixed partial dentures and complex implant-supported prosthetics requiring full-arch design decisions.
Oral cancer screening, sedation dentistry, and emergency dentistry complete the broader care profile. Braces and Invisalign cover orthodontic cases for the Westwood and surrounding UCLA-area population. For the Westwood patient demographic — which includes university affiliates, Westside professionals, and surrounding residential communities — access to a multi-doctor practice with cosmetic, prosthetic, and TMJ capability near the UCLA campus reduces the need to maintain relationships with multiple providers.
For Los Angeles patients in the Westwood and Brentwood neighbourhoods on the Westwood Boulevard commercial strip who want a multi-doctor cosmetic and restorative practice with TMJ assessment, full mouth rehabilitation, and orthodontic capability near UCLA, the suite 460 address at 1762 Westwood Boulevard provides that clinical range.
Cosmetic Dental of Westwood is a cosmetic and implant-focused practice on Westwood Boulevard in the Westwood area of Los Angeles, with a multi-doctor team. Alongside implants, porcelain veneers, and Invisalign, the office handles comprehensive and family care, full mouth rehabilitation, sedation dentistry, and complete smile makeovers for West LA patients.

Professional staff, friendly and pleasant, clean environment, on time and great dental work, you can’t beat this! Dr. Sandy Shakib is amazing! I highly recommend this office for all your dental work!
I love this practice . Everyone is so nice and knowledgeable. They took me in right away for an emergency and immediately took away my stress and anxiety. Very professional. Dr Sandra is amazing!! Staff is wonderful. Highly recommend
I have been going to this place for over 15 years or as long as they have been open when I wanted a second opinion about deep cleaning. They were honest and accurate and I have been trusting them ever since then. I’m particularly fond of Dr Sandra Shakibkhoo; she is warm, kind, and an amazing dentist. Not to mention compassionate about your budget which is priceless. Dr Shakibkhoo runs a very professional/super efficient business. I believe she has an incredible talent for hiring; every person she hires from the front desk to the hygienists is professional, kind, conscientious, and genuinely cares. I’m truly impressed about how punctual they are! I’m always taken back for my appointment exactly on time if not earlier. It’s rare to find an office where the staff is this well-coordinated; everything goes seamlessly. They also have very early am appointments like 7 am which is very convenient. And I do think that their prices are fair. I have been meaning to write this review for years and I’m finally getting around to it because Dr Shakibkhoo and her team truly deserve the recognition.
I believe the dentist was knowledgeable but was being a bit careless (as to leave herself room for improvement perhaps) and expensive. I am not new and have been paying for others growth for years (even if not hers). We don't grow together if you NEVER let me grow but instead keep me as a horse to be ridden repeatedly, moved from one stable to another claiming I don't fit in any of them.
I went to this place 2 weeks ago for a check up and cleaning. I had no pain at all but ever since my visit my teeth are hurting like crazy. Not one or two but the majority. I have never had this much pain in my mouth. They were all super nice but unfortunately that doesn't fix my pain. I am seeing another dentist Tuesday in hopes to find out why I am in pain.
I could not ask for a better team to take on my insurmountable dental challenges. From the administrative staff to the dental assistants, hygienist to Dentist I am in good hands. I thank them for their professionalism, tact and compassion. They considered my mental and physical health to improve my dental health while consulting me on my first visit. Walked in depressed, defeated and afraid, walked out confident, informed and reassured that my smile will be restored.
I love this place! They have early appointments to accommodate my work schedule. They listen to my needs and concerns. They keep me honest with my cleanings and dental health. But most of all they are friendly and caring. Extra points for Jazmin at the front desk she is organized, friendly and always helpful! I 1,000% recommend this dental office.
Fantastic for all services! Dr. Hendifar helps me have clean teeth and has made going to the dentist much less anxiety inducing for me! I never have pain with them. They have made my Invisalign journey quick and easy, leaving me with a superb smile and results in less than a year! So grateful to have found a caring and compassionate dentist to take care of me. Highly recommend for anyone scared or uneasy about the dentist but know they need to go.
