Why People Love
Santa Monica Esthetic Dentistry
Lori E.
My dentist of 25 years retired. I was lucky enough to have found Santa Monica Esthetic Dentistry. Amazing experience the first time and every time since then. I have been going there for over 5 years. Warm, welcoming, considerate, updated with all new technology. Very informative, I feel almost like family when I go! Yes, going to this dentist is a wonderful experience! 👍🏻😊⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dr Ganesh and his staff are excellent! Top-of the line technology AND friendly, caring, staff are a rare combination. I'm continually impressed at how accommodating everyone here is - from the front desk, to the hygienists, to Dr Ganesh himself. Going to the dentist can be intimidating and the staff here almost makes you forget someone is going to be poking around at your teeth :)

I have been with Dr. Ganesh having had multiple deep cleanings and a few cavity fills, and would recommend this place. He is not afraid to take the extra time to make sure everything turns out great and has a great group of assistants to ensure doing so! A lot of dentists that I've been to are not that welcoming but Dr. Ganesh definitely does take the effort getting to know his patients on a more interpersonal level. The office just expanded too, which looks great!
Kellz F.
The best dental experience ever. From the time I walked in, and being greeted. So warm and welcoming. The introduction to my dental hygienist was very professional, friendly . The other dental assistants also, professional and thoughtful. And, dr. Ganesh is great! I have never met a dr so caring. He pointed out some things that need to be addressed, that no other dentist has done before. Really opened my eyes. So grateful I found this office.

I had a great experience with SM aesthetic Dentistry. Everybody I encountered was incredibly kind and the doctors and assistants had great bedside manners. Most importantly they did a great job on my teeth and the procedure was completely painless. I will certainly be a lifelong patient, and highly recommend them.
