Your smile shapes how you move through the world, and when it no longer reflects how you feel inside, even small cosmetic concerns can chip away at your confidence over time. Irvine residents have access to some of Orange County’s most vibrant communities, professional environments, and social settings, and a smile that feels effortless in every one of them is more attainable than you might think. Research published in PMC has found a significant association between dental aesthetics and quality of life, highlighting the psychosocial impact of smile appearance on daily confidence and social interactions.
At LALUME Dental Studio, we offer a boutique cosmetic dental experience just a short drive from Irvine in Newport Beach, where Dr. Shahira Saad combines advanced digital technology with a deeply personal approach to care. Our practice is built around creating beautiful, natural-looking smiles that align with each patient’s unique facial features and aesthetic goals. Whether you are exploring cosmetic dentistry options for the first time or returning for a more comprehensive transformation, we are here to guide you every step of the way.
At LALUME Dental Studio, the experience you receive goes far beyond a standard appointment.
We never rush or double-book appointments. Every visit is a focused, unhurried consultation with Dr. Saad, so your goals receive the full attention they deserve.
From digital smile design to 3D imaging and digital scanning, we use precision tools to plan your treatment accurately and share realistic previews of your results before we begin.
Our Newport Beach studio was designed with the same meticulous, artistic eye Dr. Saad brings to dentistry. With amenities like ceiling TVs, aromatherapy, noise-canceling headphones, and a custom music station, your visit feels far more like a luxury spa day than a dental appointment.
Irvine patients who come to LALUME can choose from a comprehensive menu of cosmetic treatments tailored to their individual needs. The most popular among our patients are veneers and Invisalign, which Dr. Saad considers cornerstones of our practice.
Porcelain veneers are one of the most transformative cosmetic treatments available, correcting discoloration, chips, gaps, and shape concerns in just a few visits. For candidates who qualify, no-prep veneers require no alteration to the natural tooth structure, though they are priced higher than traditional porcelain veneers due to the greater fabrication precision involved.
Dr. Saad’s approach is always to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible, and she determines the appropriate veneer type based on each patient’s unique anatomy and aesthetic goals. Not everyone is a candidate for no-prep or minimal-prep veneers, which is precisely why a smile design consultation is so valuable.
For patients looking to straighten their teeth without traditional brackets and wires, Invisalign offers a discreet, comfortable alternative. Dr. Saad has completed advanced Invisalign training through Galler’s Reingage Invisalign program and is a member of both the local and national chapters of the American Academy of Clear Aligners. Our accelerated protocols may deliver results in four to six months, compared to two years or more with conventional orthodontics. Virtual consultations are also available, making it simple for Irvine patients to explore their options from home.
Our smile design consultations bring together artistry and technology to create a fully personalized treatment roadmap. Using high-resolution photography and digital planning tools, Dr. Saad maps out the ideal proportions, shading, and shape for your smile before a single step of treatment begins.
Many of our patients make the drive from Irvine because they are looking for a level of care and aesthetic sensibility that simply is not available everywhere. Here is what makes the LALUME experience distinct for patients coming from outside Newport Beach:
Every patient who walks through our doors receives the undivided attention of Dr. Saad, ensuring that your treatment plan is tailored entirely to you.
Our Irvine patients often come to us with thoughtful questions, and we want to make sure you feel fully informed before your first visit.
Our Newport Beach location is typically a 20 to 30-minute drive from most parts of Irvine, depending on traffic. We are located directly across from Hoag Hospital, making our studio straightforward to find, with on-site parking available.
Yes, we accept most PPO insurance plans. Cosmetic procedures such as porcelain veneers and teeth whitening are generally not covered by insurance, but our team is happy to walk you through your options, including financing through Cherry and CareCredit.
Dr. Saad evaluates each patient individually to determine the most appropriate and conservative treatment path. A smile design consultation is the best starting point, as it allows Dr. Saad to assess your oral health, discuss your aesthetic goals, and develop a personalized plan that balances beauty with the preservation of your natural teeth.
Absolutely. We offer complimentary virtual consultations for Invisalign and cosmetic procedures, which is a great option for busy Irvine professionals who want to explore their options before scheduling an in-person visit.
