Meet Dr. Dana Veis

Dr. Dana Veis is a board-certified orthodontist who was born and raised in San Diego. She attended college in Santa Barbara, where she met her husband, Landon. While in college, she worked as a Registered Dental Assistant (RDA)—a hands-on experience that ultimately inspired her to become an orthodontist.

Dr. Veis later completed dental school and her orthodontic residency at the University of Kentucky, earning both her Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) and Master of Science (MS) degrees. For her Master’s degree, she conducted specialized research focused on 3D mandibular superimpositions.

While in Kentucky, she enjoyed the changing seasons and the beauty of Kentucky bluegrass country, but ultimately returned home to sunny San Diego. Outside of the office, Dr. Veis enjoys spending time with her husband and their two daughters.

Their home is also filled with energy thanks to their three dogs and three cats—clear evidence of her love for animals. In her free time, she enjoys CrossFit, traveling, exploring San Diego’s vibrant food scene, and spending time at the beach with her family.

“Dr. Marston is absolutely professional, and all the staff are very kind. My case was not easy I had to pause and redo it because of my TMJ but what I appreciate most about Dr. Marston is his patience and dedication throughout the process. My daughter also loves visiting the clinic because of the welcoming, kid-friendly environment.”

MCogan

“Just finished my Invisalign treatment. Awesome experience from beginning to end. I felt very comfortable with every step of the process from the first consultation to receiving my retainers. Every question no matter how dumb it sounded was answered professionally. They even worked with me when I moved overseas to continue my treatment. Thanks a ton Dr. Marston and team! I appreciate all of you.”
