A truly beautiful smile does more than change the way you look. It changes the way you feel walking into a room, standing in front of a camera, and showing up for the moments that matter most. For Costa Mesa residents who want natural-looking, long-lasting smile transformations, dental veneers offer one of the most elegant and effective options in modern cosmetic dentistry. At LALUME Dental Studio, Dr. Shahira Saad combines a facially driven approach to smile design with a deeply conservative philosophy, ensuring every patient’s result is not only stunning but also thoughtfully crafted to honor the health and structure of their natural teeth. Conveniently located in Newport Beach just minutes from Costa Mesa, LALUME is where artistry and precision come together.
Dr. Saad's goal is always to preserve as much of your natural tooth structure as possible. Every veneer recommendation is based on your individual case, smile goals, and long-term oral health.
Your smile is designed in harmony with your facial features, proportions, and personality, not a one-size-fits-all template. The result is a smile that looks like a better version of you.
From noise-cancelling headphones and Netflix on ceiling TVs to aromatherapy and private treatment rooms, every visit to LALUME feels less like a dental appointment and more like a retreat.
Dental veneers are ultra-thin shells, typically crafted from porcelain or composite resin, that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth to improve their color, shape, size, or overall appearance. They are one of the most popular options in cosmetic dentistry for patients who want to address concerns like chips, cracks, discoloration, spacing, or uneven tooth length in a minimally invasive way.
At LALUME Dental Studio, Dr. Saad offers three types of veneers, and the right fit for you will depend on your unique smile and goals. These options include:
Not every patient is a candidate for every type of veneer. Dr. Saad will always take the most cautious approach possible and may use a combination of veneer types across different teeth. Many cases involve all three types working together to achieve the ideal outcome. Both no-prep and porcelain veneers are built to last, with a lifespan of 15 years or longer when properly cared for.
Choosing veneers is an exciting decision, and Dr. Saad has designed a process that keeps you informed, comfortable, and confident every step of the way. It begins with a smile design consultation, where she takes the time to understand your aesthetic goals, evaluate your dental health, and walk you through which options may be the best fit.
From your initial consultation to your final reveal, the experience at LALUME is warm, welcoming, and collaborative. Dr. Saad uses a facially driven approach to plan your smile, meaning the shape and shade of your veneers are carefully chosen to complement your natural features rather than follow a generic formula. Once your treatment plan is finalized, custom veneers are fabricated to precise specifications and bonded with meticulous attention to detail.
Patients often note that the result looks and feels completely natural as our process is designed with that intention from the very start. For those also interested in aligning their smile before or alongside their veneer treatment, our Invisalign in Newport Beach is another option worth exploring during your consultation.
Costa Mesa is just a short drive from LALUME’s Newport Beach location, and for patients in the area, the proximity makes accessing world-class cosmetic care refreshingly convenient. Dr. Saad completed her undergraduate education at UCLA Summa Cum Laude before earning her dental degree from the UCLA School of Dentistry and completing a rigorous AEGD residency. Her training reflects clinical excellence and a deep commitment to staying current with the most advanced techniques in aesthetic dentistry.
At LALUME, you will never feel rushed. The spa-like atmosphere features private treatment rooms, aromatherapy, and ceiling-mounted TVs with Netflix to help patients feel at ease. The team accepts most major PPO insurance plans, though veneers are considered a cosmetic procedure and are not covered by insurance. Financing is available through Cherry and CareCredit, and in-house membership plans are also offered to make high-quality care more accessible. For patients who want to explore the full range of possibilities, a smile design consultation is the ideal starting point.
If you have been thinking about veneers, there has never been a better time to take the first step. Dr. Saad’s approach is rooted in artistry, precision, and a genuine care for her patients’ long-term well-being, and that philosophy is reflected in every smile she creates. Whether you are curious about porcelain veneers, no-prep veneers, or simply want to understand which option is right for you, LALUME Dental Studio is here to guide you with honesty.

Veneers are considered a long-term cosmetic restoration, and none of them are reversible. They are designed to last 15 or more years with proper care.
The type of veneer recommended is always based on your individual dental anatomy, tooth structure, and smile goals, not patient preference. Dr. Saad’s philosophy is to use the most conservative option appropriate for your case.
Veneers are a cosmetic procedure and are not covered by insurance. LALUME offers financing through Cherry and CareCredit as well as in-house membership plans to help make treatment accessible.
No, no-prep veneers are priced higher than traditional porcelain veneers. Their fabrication is more technique-sensitive, which is reflected in the cost.Â
Both porcelain and no-prep veneers are built to last 15 or more years with proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits. Longevity may also depend on individual habits such as teeth grinding.
