Your smile is one of the first things people notice, and when it no longer reflects how you feel on the inside, the desire to change it grows stronger. Whether you are bothered by the shape, color, spacing, or overall appearance of your teeth, a personalized smile design plan may be able to help you move forward with confidence. At LALUME Dental Studio in Newport Beach, Dr. Shahira Saad offers smile design consultations for patients throughout the area, including Laguna Beach, combining artistry with advanced dental technique to create results that are beautiful and uniquely yours.
Every smile design plan is built around your unique facial features, goals, and dental health, not a template.
Dr. Saad always takes the most minimally invasive approach possible to achieve the results you are looking for.
Conveniently located in Newport Beach, just a short drive from Laguna Beach along the coast.
Smile design is not a single procedure but a comprehensive, personalized approach to improving the overall appearance of your smile. During your consultation, Dr. Saad evaluates your facial features, gum line, tooth shape, size, color, and alignment to build a treatment plan tailored specifically to your goals. Every detail is considered so that the final result looks natural and harmonious with your own unique face.
Smile design often draws from several cosmetic and restorative treatments. Common procedures included in a smile design plan may involve one or more of the following:
Every smile design case is different, and Dr. Saad determines the most appropriate combination of treatments. She bases it on your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals, always taking the most modest approach possible to preserve your natural tooth structure.
A smile design consultation is not a one-size-fits-all process. Research published by the National Institutes of Health has shown that individualized, planning-driven approaches to cosmetic dentistry lead to significantly better patient satisfaction and treatment outcomes compared to conventional methods. At LALUME, Dr. Saad takes the time during your consultation to listen to what you want to change, walk you through your options honestly, and show you what results may look like before any treatment begins.
One of the things that sets Dr. Saad apart is her commitment to preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible. Not every patient is a candidate for every procedure, and that is something she communicates clearly from the start. Rather than steering you toward a particular treatment, she builds a plan based on what your smile actually needs. Many cases involve a combination of veneer types or a pairing of alignment treatment with restorative work, because every situation is truly unique. The goal is always excellent aesthetics with the least invasive path to get there.
LALUME Dental Studio was built with a different kind of dental experience in mind. The office is designed to feel calm and spa-like, complete with Netflix ceiling TVs, aromatherapy, noise-cancelling headphones, and a private treatment environment. Dr. Saad and her team never double-book appointments, which means your consultation time is yours completely.
Dr. Saad graduated Summa Cum Laude from UCLA with a degree in Psychobiology before earning her dental degree Cum Laude from the UCLA School of Dentistry. She completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency at UCLA Venice with extensive training in cosmetic dentistry and full-mouth rehabilitation, and she has completed the Galler’s Reingage Invisalign course. She is also trained in no-prep veneers through The Smile Trend Institute, and she is certified to provide oral conscious sedation for patients who prefer a more relaxed experience. LALUME also has an in-house periodontist, Dr. Ara, who visits monthly to perform specialty procedures including gum lifts, sinus lifts, dental implants, and extractions.

Smile design may be a good fit for anyone who is unhappy with one or more aspects of their smile, including color, shape, spacing, or proportion. A consultation with Dr. Saad is the best way to explore which options may be right for you.
Dr. Saad develops your treatment plan based on a thorough evaluation of your dental health and aesthetic goals. Her aim is always to use the most cautious approach that achieves your desired results. Many cases involve a combination of procedures rather than a single solution.
Veneers are considered a cosmetic procedure and are generally not covered by insurance. LALUME accepts most PPOs and offers financing through Cherry and CareCredit to help make your treatment more accessible.
Treatment timelines vary depending on the procedures involved. Cases that include Invisalign may take four to six months. Veneer cases can often be completed in two to three appointments. Dr. Saad will provide a realistic timeline during your consultation.
