About Kathy Zahedi, DDS & Associates - Santa Monica Dentists
Kathy Zahedi, DDS & Associates - Santa Monica Dentists provides dental care on 10th Street in the Downtown area of Santa Monica, California. Implants are considered by many dentists the most durable way to replace a missing tooth, since the titanium post fuses with the jaw bone over several months and then supports a crown that functions much like a natural tooth. Enough healthy bone is the main prerequisite, and a graft can build that up first if needed.
Clear aligners straighten teeth through a series of custom, removable trays, each worn for one to two weeks before moving to the next in the sequence. They suit mild to moderate crowding and spacing well, and are worn roughly twenty to twenty-two hours a day for treatment to stay on schedule.
A veneer is a thin custom shell bonded to the front of a tooth to change its shape, length, or colour, most often used to address chips, gaps, or discoloration that whitening alone cannot fix. Traditional veneers require a small amount of enamel to be removed, which makes the change permanent.
Cosmetic dentistry covers treatment aimed primarily at appearance — whitening, veneers, bonding, and reshaping among the more common options — for patients who are less concerned with a problem that hurts than with how their smile looks day to day. The right combination depends on what specifically you would like to change.
Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, cleans and seals the space, and allows the natural tooth to be kept rather than extracted. Its reputation for being painful is largely outdated — carried out under local anaesthetic, it typically relieves pain rather than causing it.
Emergency dental care covers sudden problems that will not wait for a routine appointment — severe pain, a knocked-out or fractured tooth, swelling, or a lost filling that leaves a tooth exposed. Same-day or urgent appointments are the point of an emergency service, rather than the standard multi-week booking window.

Extremely welcoming, friendly and professional, I had thorough x-rays with state of the art equipment. Everything was explained thoroughly, and the prices were reasonable for what was offered.
My teeth are healthier than ever and I’m very well cared for. I have a few friends that are now benefiting from the great care n professionalism of the Zahedi Dental Family! Highly Recommend All to get their best quality dental care!
Dr. Zahedi and her team are true professionals who are super accommodating in every way. I have always had an abject fear of the dentist as I am extremely cavity prone and have had some pretty dreadful experiences in the past. Dr Zahedi and her team have always gone out of their way to see that I am totally comfortable right down to a heated blankie...what can I say?...I'm a baby when it comes to the dentist! They've always given me every consideration without judgement and working together they have transformed how my teeth function and how they look...fabulous. I am eternally grateful to Dr Zahedi for putting up with me from home, on weekends, at 6AM for an emergency. She has always and I mean always been there for me with a beautiful smile and never made me feel that I was a bother. I cannot recommend Dr. Zahedi highly enough.
I have been a patient of Dr. Zahedi for over 10 years. She has always done great work on my teeth ; whether it be removing silver fillings or putting a crown on a cracked tooth. Her office is equipped with the latest technology and Dr. Zahedi always educates herself on the latest developments in her field. She’s very honest and trustworthy. She has a great office staff. I would highly recommend her.
I've been coming here for a long time and recommend them highly! Over the years, I’ve had a ton of work done, including dental implants and various other major procedures.They do great work and also truly care about how you feel. They are incredibly accommodating and make sure you leave feeling good, comfortable, and taken care of. The office itself is super clean, with a cozy, welcoming environment.The team is great! Star is an absolute gem! She is such an amazing person to communicate with and goes above and beyond to ensure everything is seamlessly taken care of, Gail and the rest of the office team are incredibly friendly and great as well. The dentists put so much genuine care and precision into their work, Kathy and her team are top-notch & super professional, and Alma is super sweet! If you are looking for a dental office that treats you like family while delivering amazing results, I highly recommend it.
The Zahedi Dental group is a wonderful business and like family. The dentistry they practise is caring, humane and precise. They worry so much about how a patient is doing throughout any procedure that, along with other factors, it makes it a pleasure to go to the dentist! You feel cared for, reassured, something that is hard to come by now. The staff is gentle, funny and, well, nicely human in this age of AI. But don't get me wrong: their goal is always to give you the best possible treatment and their standards and hygiene are high. I also find the ambiance alluring. There is jazzy, upbeat music softly playing over speakers, a 4th floor vista over 10th St, Santa Monica, as you sit in the treatment chairs, video loops to gaze at that show beautiful resorts around the world, as well as a calming air fragrance that all let you know that you are there, in good hands, with the Zahedi dental family! Nice!
I’ve been seeing Dr. Zahedi for years, and she is absolutely worth the drive—I travel nearly three and a half hours just to see her. There was a brief period when I had to switch dentists due to insurance issues, and even that dentist complimented the quality of Dr. Zahedi’s work. That alone speaks volumes. As soon as my insurance allowed, I returned without hesitation. Dr. Zahedi has done extensive work on my teeth, and I am truly grateful—she completely transformed my smile. I highly recommend Dr. Zahedi to anyone looking for exceptional dental care.

The office is modern, spotless, and runs very efficiently, I never felt rushed or overlooked. If you’re looking for a dentist who genuinely cares about your comfort and your smile, I highly recommend Dr. Kathy Zahedi and the team at Zahedi Dental. Truly a five-star experience!
Zahedi Dental Group is honestly one of the best dental offices I’ve been to. From the moment you walk in, the front staff is welcoming and organized, and they make the whole check-in process easy. The hygienists are gentle, thorough, and always explain what they’re doing so you feel comfortable the entire time. Dr. Zahedi is incredibly patient and knowledgeable — he takes the time to answer questions, walk you through your treatment plan, and make sure you understand everything. You can tell he really cares about his patients and their long-term dental health. The office is clean, modern, and runs on time, which I appreciate. Overall, great service, great team, and a place you can trust with your smile. Highly recommend.
