Irvine residents know that finding a dental practice that genuinely fits their lifestyle, values, and long-term smile goals takes more than a quick online search. You want a team that listens, a doctor who takes a conservative and thoughtful approach, and an environment that makes every appointment feel far less like a clinical obligation and far more like a moment of self-care.
At LALUME Dental Studio, Dr. Shahira Saad and her team welcome patients from Irvine and throughout Orange County to a boutique dental experience rooted in artistry, precision, and genuine warmth. Our Newport Beach studio, located directly across from Hoag Hospital, is just a short drive from Irvine and built for patients who expect something different.
At LALUME Dental Studio, we believe your dental experience should be as thoughtful as the results we deliver. Here is what sets our practice apart:
We approach every smile as a work of art. Dr. Saad draws on advanced smile design principles to ensure that cosmetic outcomes look natural, harmonious, and uniquely suited to your facial features, not just your teeth.
We never double-book appointments. Every visit is unhurried, focused entirely on you, and supported by a team committed to making sure you feel informed, comfortable, and at ease from the moment you arrive.
Dr. Saad's goal is always to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible while achieving your smile goals. She will always recommend the most conservative treatment option appropriate for your individual case.
When patients from Irvine are looking to refresh or transform their smile, they often arrive with questions about which procedures are right for them. Our cosmetic dentistry services span a wide range of options, from subtle enhancements to full smile transformations, and every treatment plan is designed around your specific goals and dental health.
Invisalign is one of the most sought-after treatments at our practice, and for good reason. Clear, removable aligners allow you to straighten your teeth discreetly without the constraints of traditional orthodontics. Dr. Saad completed the renowned Galler’s Reingage Invisalign course and is a member of the American Academy of Clear Aligners, so you are in highly trained hands throughout your treatment.
Our porcelain veneer options include traditional, no-prep, and composite veneers. Not every patient is a candidate for each type, and Dr. Saad will always determine the most appropriate approach after a thorough smile design consultation. Many cases involve a thoughtful combination of veneer types, as every smile is unique. What you can count on is that Dr. Saad’s priority will always be preserving your natural tooth structure while achieving a result you love.
A smile design consultation is the foundation of any cosmetic treatment at LALUME. Using advanced digital imaging, we map out a personalized plan that accounts for your facial proportions, tooth shade, and the specific outcomes you have in mind. This collaborative process ensures there are no surprises, only results you are excited about.
Irvine is home to a discerning community of professionals and families who hold high standards for their healthcare providers. The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research notes that good oral health enables you to speak clearly, enjoy nutritious foods, and express yourself confidently, all reasons why the quality of your dental care matters far beyond aesthetics. We hear from Irvine patients regularly that they chose LALUME because they wanted a practice that treats dentistry as both a science and an art.
Dr. Saad earned her dental degree from the UCLA School of Dentistry, graduating Cum Laude, and completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency at UCLA Venice with extensive training in cosmetic dentistry, implant placement, and full-mouth rehabilitation. She is also certified to provide oral conscious sedation, which means even the most anxious patients can receive the care they need in a calm, relaxed setting.
Our in-house periodontist, Dr. Bakian, visits LALUME monthly and performs specialty procedures, including gum lifts, sinus lifts, dental implants, and extractions, so patients have access to a broader scope of care without needing to coordinate between multiple offices.
Our studio is designed to feel like a spa rather than a clinic. Ceiling TVs with Netflix, aromatherapy, noise-canceling headphones, and a custom music station make each appointment genuinely comfortable, whether you are coming in for a routine exam or beginning a full smile transformation.
We know that choosing a new dental practice brings questions. Below are answers to some of the most common ones we hear from prospective patients.
Our Newport Beach office is conveniently located directly across from Hoag Hospital, making it an easy and accessible drive from Irvine and the surrounding communities throughout Orange County.
We accept most PPO insurance plans. It is worth noting that cosmetic procedures such as veneers are not covered by insurance, but we offer flexible financing options through Cherry and CareCredit, as well as an in-house membership plan, to help make care accessible.
Invisalign and veneers are our most requested treatments. Many patients also pursue smile design consultations to explore their options before committing to a specific plan.
Absolutely. Dr. Saad is certified in oral conscious sedation and has designed our entire practice environment around patient comfort. From the physical space to the way appointments are structured, everything is intended to minimize anxiety and maximize ease.
We encourage you to reach out and schedule a consultation. During that visit, Dr. Saad will take the time to understand your goals, review your dental health, and walk you through all of the options available to you.
