A radiant smile is one of the most powerful investments you can make in yourself — yet for many people, the price tag of cosmetic dental care is the one thing standing between them and the confidence they deserve. The good news is that the landscape of dental financing has changed significantly, giving patients more flexible, accessible paths to the treatments they have always wanted. According to the American Dental Association, the ability to offer patients meaningful payment options is one of the most important factors in helping them move forward with care.
At LALUME Dental Studio in Newport Beach, Dr. Shahira Saad has built a practice around the belief that a beautiful smile should never feel financially out of reach. From Invisalign to porcelain veneers, LALUME offers several thoughtful financing options to make high-quality cosmetic dentistry more accessible to patients across Orange County. Explore the cosmetic dentistry financing options at LALUME Dental Studio to see what may work best for your goals.
Does Dental Insurance Cover Cosmetic Procedures?
Understanding your insurance coverage is a natural starting point when planning any dental treatment. LALUME accepts most PPO insurance plans, which can help offset the cost of many preventive and restorative services. It is important to note, however, that cosmetic procedures such as veneers are not covered by insurance, as they are considered elective rather than medically necessary.
This distinction matters when budgeting for a smile transformation. Rather than waiting or going without, patients at LALUME have access to financing options that make even the most comprehensive cosmetic treatment plans financially manageable.
What Third-Party Financing Is Available?
LALUME partners with two of the most trusted financing platforms in dentistry to give patients flexibility and choice.
Here is a look at what each option offers:
Cherry Financing
A patient-friendly platform that offers 0% interest financing for qualifying patients for up to 12 months, with extended plans available up to 24 months. Cherry is our preferred option because of its simple application process and competitive terms.
CareCredit
Another well-regarded healthcare financing card that offers similar 0% promotional periods for qualifying patients, with extended repayment options up to 24 months.
Both options allow patients to break larger treatment costs into manageable payments, making it easier to begin treatment without delay. Applications are quick, and in many cases, patients receive a decision the same day.
How Does the LALUME Membership Plan Help?
For patients without insurance or those whose plans do not cover specific services, our in-house membership plan offers a compelling alternative. Starting at $59 per month, paid annually, the membership plan includes meaningful discounts across our service offerings, including 10% off specialty services such implants, crowns, and Invisalign.
The membership is especially valuable for patients planning multiple treatments or seeking ongoing access to preventive care at a reduced rate. It is one more way LALUME makes premium cosmetic dentistry approachable for the Newport Beach community.
How Much Do Veneers and Invisalign Cost at LALUME?
Transparency in pricing is a core part of the LALUME experience. Dr. Shahira Saad believes that patients deserve clear, honest answers before committing to any treatment plan.
Porcelain Veneers
Veneers at LALUME are priced between $2,250 and $2,500 per tooth. It is worth noting that single-tooth cases tend to reflect a higher per-tooth investment because achieving a precise color match in isolation requires significantly more artistry and often multiple tries to perfect. With proper care, veneers last 15 or more years, making them a long-term investment in your confidence and quality of life.
Invisalign
We offer two Invisalign packages, priced from $5,000 to $6,000. Our average treatment time is just 4 to 6 months. That quick, predictable timeline is one of the most competitive advantages of choosing LALUME for clear aligner therapy.
