SANTA MONICA, Calif., Nov. 10, 2026. Neer, a leader in premium prepless veneers and digital smile transformation, today announced the appointment of Dr. Shant Aharonian as Clinical Director. A practicing cosmetic dentist and the owner of Smile Design Burbank, Dr. Aharonian will oversee Neer’s clinical standards, provider education, and the continued evolution of enamel-preserving smile transformations.
Dr. Aharonian’s practice is built on conservative, tooth-preserving cosmetic dentistry and modern digital workflows. He also teaches digital dentistry and chairside workflows to fellow dentists, including on stage at industry conferences. Known for walking patients and fellow dentists through veneer decisions chairside and on social media, he brings a hands-on, case-by-case approach to treatment planning that puts healthy enamel and long-term oral health first.
“My patients always ask for a minimally invasive option, a way to complete their smile makeover without having their teeth shaved down. Neer lets me give them that,” said Dr. Shant Aharonian, Clinical Director of Neer. “I’ve watched Neer’s progress over the last few years. Hardware, software and biomaterials are all at an inflection point, and Neer brings them together in a way that lets me deliver minimally invasive cosmetic dentistry with clinical success.”
As Clinical Director, Dr. Aharonian will guide Neer’s clinical strategy, set best practices for case selection, surface conditioning, and bonding, and lead education for Neer providers nationwide, including monthly Office Hours where providers can review cases with him directly. He succeeds Dr. Brian Harris, who continues with Neer as a co-founder and clinical advisor.
“Dentists will get a guiding resource for minimally invasive adhesive dentistry: how to treatment plan, and how to choose the right cases for prepless veneers,” said Dr. Aharonian. “I said yes because I believe in where this company is headed. We’re on a path to change how modern cosmetic dentistry is done.”
Neer’s platform was developed to address a long-standing gap in cosmetic dentistry: the lack of enamel-safe, minimally invasive options for patients seeking natural-looking smile improvements. Neer is a nano-ceramic prepless veneer placed in two visits, a scan visit and a seat visit, with no drilling of healthy enamel, and it is removable by your dentist. Moment, Neer’s chairside try-on, lets patients preview their new smile before they commit.
“Shant thinks like a practicing dentist first, because he is one,” said Dan Grauer, DDS, MS, PhD, Co-Founder of Neer. “With Dr. Aharonian leading our clinical standards, our providers get his judgment on real cases, and our commitment to enamel preservation, education, and provider-first care gets even stronger.”
About Neer: Neer is transforming cosmetic dentistry with premium prepless veneers that make smile makeovers more accessible and minimally invasive. By combining digital workflows and lab-fabricated precision, Neer helps dental providers deliver natural-looking smiles in two visits with no drilling of healthy enamel.
