Your smile is one of the first things people notice, and when it no longer feels like your own, even everyday moments can feel more disappointing. Whether you’ve been quietly considering a change for years or you’re just starting to explore your options, LALUME Dental Studio in Newport Beach is just minutes away. Led by Dr. Shahira Saad, a UCLA Summa Cum Laude graduate with advanced training in cosmetic smile design and Invisalign, LALUME brings precision, artistry, and a genuine commitment to conservative care for every patient who walks through the door.
Dr. Saad believes the best smile enhancement is one that protects what you already have. Every treatment plan is designed to be as minimally invasive as possible, preserving your natural enamel while delivering beautiful, lasting results.
No two smiles are the same, and no two treatment plans should be either. Dr. Saad designs each smile with your unique facial features, bite, and aesthetic goals in mind, always with a focus on balance, harmony, and results that look naturally yours.
From aromatherapy and noise-cancelling headphones to Netflix on ceiling-mounted TVs and private treatment rooms, LALUME is designed for patients who want something genuinely different from traditional dentistry.
LALUME offers a full menu of cosmetic services, each tailored to your individual smile goals. Whether you’re looking for a subtle refresh or a complete transformation, Dr. Saad will walk you through your options and recommend the most conservative path forward.
Veneers are among the most transformative cosmetic treatments available, and LALUME offers porcelain, no-prep, and composite options. Dr. Saad evaluates each patient individually to determine the most appropriate approach, always prioritizing the preservation of natural tooth structure. Not everyone is a candidate for no-prep or minimal-prep veneers, and many cases involve a thoughtful combination of veneer types. Research published by the National Institutes of Health supports the growing shift toward minimally invasive veneer techniques that protect enamel and improve long-term outcomes. Both no-prep and porcelain veneers at LALUME are designed to last 15 or more years with proper oral care.
For patients looking to straighten their smile without metal brackets, Invisalign at LALUME offers a discreet and comfortable option. Dr. Saad has completed advanced Invisalign training through Galler's Reingage program and holds membership in both the local and national chapters of the American Academy of Clear Aligners. Her average treatment time is 4 to 6 months, which is significantly faster than what many practices offer. Virtual care and remote monitoring are available for added flexibility for qualified patients.
A lasting smile starts with thoughtful planning. Smile design at LALUME is a facially driven process that considers your facial structure, tooth proportions, gum line, and personal goals before any treatment begins. It is especially valuable for patients exploring veneers, as it allows Dr. Saad to preview your results and build a plan that honors both your vision and her commitment to measured care.
LALUME offers something rare: a cosmetic dental experience that is as thoughtful as it is beautiful. Dr. Saad’s training at UCLA School of Dentistry, combined with her AEGD residency and advanced coursework in no-prep veneers through The Smile Trend Institute, informs every treatment she provides. The practice itself was designed to feel more like a luxury spa than a clinical office, with private treatment rooms, ceiling-mounted TVs, aromatherapy, and noise-cancelling headphones that create an environment where patients feel genuinely calm.
LALUME accepts most PPO insurance plans for eligible services, and financing is available through Cherry and CareCredit for cosmetic treatments along with in-house membership plans. Dr. Saad and her team bring warmth and precision to every appointment. Costa Mesa patients are invited to contact our office today to schedule a smile design consultation.

LALUME offers porcelain veneers, no-prep veneers, composite veneers, Invisalign, smile design, and more. Dr. Saad will recommend the most minimally invasive approach that achieves your goals.
Dr. Saad’s goal is always to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible. Not every patient is a candidate for no-prep or minimal-prep veneers, and the right approach is determined during your smile design consultation based on your individual anatomy and goals.
LALUME accepts most PPO insurance plans. Cosmetic procedures such as veneers are not covered by insurance, but financing is available through Cherry and CareCredit, along with in-house membership plans for routine and periodontal care.
