Costa Mesa sits at the intersection of ambition and everyday life, a city where residents move fast, expect quality, and don’t settle for less when it comes to the things that matter most. Whether you’re refining your professional presence, refreshing your confidence, or simply ready to love your smile again, finding the right dental home close to home makes all the difference.
At LALUME Dental Studio, Dr. Shahira Saad brings a blend of artistry and clinical precision to every patient she sees, welcoming Costa Mesa residents to a practice that reimagines what going to the dentist can feel like. Conveniently located in Newport Beach across from Hoag Hospital, we offer a full range of cosmetic dentistry services in a spa-like setting designed to put you completely at ease.
Dr. Saad's philosophy centers on preserving your natural tooth structure while delivering beautiful results. Whether you're exploring veneers, Invisalign, or a complete smile redesign, she takes the most conservative approach possible because protecting what you have is always the priority.
With Netflix on ceiling TVs, aromatherapy, noise-cancelling headphones, and private treatment rooms, LALUME is built around your comfort. Every detail of our studio has been thoughtfully designed so that you can feel refreshed, not stressed.
We accept most PPO insurance plans, and for patients investing in cosmetic treatments, we offer flexible financing through Cherry and CareCredit. Our in-house membership plans also make preventive care accessible for patients without traditional coverage.
Costa Mesa residents are just a short drive from one of Orange County’s most distinctive dental practices, and the proximity makes it easy to prioritize your oral health without disrupting your day. At LALUME Dental Studio, we combine advanced clinical techniques with a genuinely welcoming atmosphere because we believe exceptional dental care should never feel like a compromise.
One of the most popular services among our Costa Mesa patients is Invisalign, and for good reason. Where many providers quote timelines of two years or more, Dr. Saad's average Invisalign treatment takes just 4 to 6 months. This is made possible through her advanced training in the Galler's Reingage program and her involvement with the American Academy of Clear Aligners at both local and national levels. Remote monitoring and virtual care options are also available, making it even more convenient for busy Costa Mesa patients to stay on track with treatment.
Dr. Saad offers porcelain veneers, no-prep veneers, and composite veneers, determining the right approach based entirely on your unique case. Her goal is always to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible while helping you achieve the aesthetic outcome you're looking for. Not everyone is a candidate for no-prep or minimal-prep veneers, and many cases involve a combination of approaches. That's why a smile design consultation is such an important first step. Veneers at LALUME are crafted with the same meticulous, facially-driven philosophy that defines everything Dr. Saad does.
Beyond cosmetic care, LALUME offers a comprehensive range of services to support your overall oral health. From routine exams and preventive treatments to dental crowns, oral surgery, dental implants, and smile design, our studio is equipped to meet your needs at every stage of life. We particularly welcome patients who may have been putting off dental care due to anxiety, a busy schedule, or because they haven’t yet found a practice that feels right. Our environment is designed to change that experience entirely.
As research published in PMC notes, cosmetic dentistry today encompasses a wide range of disciplines, from orthodontics to restorative and preventive techniques, all working together to improve both the appearance and function of your smile. At LALUME, that integrated approach is exactly how Dr. Saad practices. She considers the whole picture, not just the individual tooth.
Choosing a dental provider is deeply personal, and at LALUME, we understand that. Dr. Shahira Saad graduated Summa Cum Laude from UCLA and completed her training at the UCLA School of Dentistry, followed by an AEGD residency. She has pursued advanced training in Invisalign, no-prep veneer techniques, and facial-driven smile design, which means every treatment plan she creates reflects both academic rigor and genuine artistry. Our studio’s environment is modern, warm, and spa-like, making it a direct reflection of her belief that patients deserve to feel cared for at every step of the process. We additionally offer flexible financing options through Cherry and CareCredit to make it easier for patients investing in their smiles.
Whether you’re a longtime Costa Mesa resident or new to the area, we’d love to welcome you to LALUME. To schedule your consultation with Dr. Saad, please contact our office. We look forward to helping you achieve the smile you deserve.
