About Riverside Cosmetic Dentist - Dr. Ali Shmara
Riverside Cosmetic Dentist - Dr. Ali Shmara operates on Arlington Avenue in the Magnolia Center area of Riverside, California. Periodontics is the specialty focused on the gums and the bone supporting the teeth, handling more advanced gum disease, related surgical treatment, and — in many practices — dental implant placement, which sits naturally alongside that training.
Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.
A first appointment at a new practice typically covers a full examination, a review of your dental and medical history, and a professional cleaning, with X-rays if you do not have recent ones. It is also a reasonable time to raise any longer-term concerns, cosmetic or otherwise, so they can be factored into a plan going forward.
Day-to-day oral health still comes down to the basics between visits — brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount eaten at once. Regular professional care is what catches whatever those habits do not.
Digital X-rays are a routine part of dental care because they show what a visual exam alone cannot — decay forming between teeth, bone loss below the gumline, and how developing adult teeth are positioned in children. They use a low radiation dose and are taken on a schedule matched to individual risk rather than at every single visit.
Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.

My sister recommended Dr Shmara to because I cracked one of my teeth. I’m so glad she did. Dr. Shmara and Staff are very professional and very friendly people. I ended up with a whole new smile. And I get compliments all the time. Thank you very much.
I have been coming to this dental office for many years and have always been pleased. I also bring my elderly mother here. Dr. Shmara and his staff, especially Sherrie and Carey, are the best! They are so kind, capable, patient, and accommodating. Dr. Shmara has handled all kinds of issues for us including implants, crowns, bridges, and root canals. Not only does he do a fantastic job, he always takes the time to explain all of the available options, what he recommends, and why. I have confidence in Dr. Shmara and know he will always do what’s in my best interest. He's also a genuinely nice guy who I enjoy talking and joking with.

Dr. Shmara is an excellent doctor. I recommend visiting him if you're having trouble finding a new dentist. He and his staff deliver outstanding dental care. Dr. Shamara is very honest about the treatment you need and gives the best recommendations for other offices if required.
I was looking for dentist for a toothache I was having. I found Dr Shmara online and I decided to make an appointment because he had such great reviews from almost all of his patients. I decided to make an appointment and they got me in right away because I was in pain. When I arrived the staff were very professional and kind. They were very friendly when greeting me and while taking care of me. They did not make me wait at all and took me to the back for my xrays and exam quickly. After the kind assitant , I think her name was Marianna, took my xrays Dr Shmara came in to see me. He was very thourough in his exam and explained to me what was happening with my tooth. He described the problem and answered all my questions. He said we could take care of the problem right away since I was in pain. He did a root canal on my tooth because the tooth was infected. He was so gentle with the shot I didn’t feel a thing. I almost fell asleep dring the procedure. After completing the root canal the Dr did a crown on the same tooth and i walked out with a temporary. I was so amazed that I felt almost nothing during the procedure. I returned a couple of weeks later for the permanent crown. Everything went very smoothly and the crown fit perfectly. Thank you Dr Shmara for the best dental experience I’ve ever had. I will be referring all my friends and family.
