Your smile is one of the most personal things about you, and if it no longer reflects the way you feel inside, cosmetic dentistry can help you change that. Laguna Beach is a community that appreciates beauty, craft, and the kind of care that actually takes its time, and that is exactly what you will find at LALUME Dental Studio. Led by Dr. Shahira Saad, a UCLA Summa Cum Laude graduate with advanced training in cosmetic and aesthetic dentistry, our Newport Beach practice serves patients from Laguna Beach who are ready to invest in a smile they feel truly proud of. From veneers to Invisalign, we offer a full range of cosmetic services guided by a conservative, facially driven philosophy that puts your natural beauty first. If you are looking for a cosmetic dentist near Laguna Beach, we would love to welcome you to our studio.
At LALUME Dental Studio, we believe that great cosmetic dentistry is about far more than a bright smile. It is about a complete experience, from your very first consultation to the moment you see your final result.
Dr. Saad's philosophy is rooted in preserving your natural tooth structure whenever possible. Whether you are a candidate for no-prep veneers, traditional porcelain veneers, or a combination of both, Dr. Saad will always recommend only what will help you achieve your goals, never any unnecessary alterations or one-size-fits-all treatments.
Our studio was designed with your comfort in mind. Private treatment rooms, aromatherapy, noise-cancelling headphones, and Netflix on ceiling TVs make every visit feel more like a retreat than a dental appointment. We never double-book appointments, so Dr. Saad's attention is yours completely.
Every cosmetic treatment at LALUME begins with a thorough smile design consultation. Dr. Saad uses digital imaging and a facially driven design process to ensure your results are unique, beautifully balanced, and built to last.
Cosmetic dentistry has grown significantly in recent years, and for good reason. Research published in PMC by the National Institutes of Health found that demand for aesthetic dental procedures has risen sharply as patients become more informed about their options and what beautiful, natural-looking results are possible. For Laguna Beach patients, that means access to treatments that can address everything from chipped or discolored teeth to misalignment, worn enamel, and smile asymmetry, all without an over-corrected appearance.
Veneers remain one of the most transformative options in cosmetic dentistry, and at LALUME, we offer both porcelain veneers and no-prep veneers. Porcelain veneers involve minimal enamel preparation and are custom-crafted to create a seamless, natural look. No-prep veneers require no alteration to the tooth surface and may be appropriate for select cases, though not every patient is a candidate. Dr. Saad evaluates each smile individually and always recommends the most conservative approach.
For patients whose primary concern is alignment, Invisalign in Laguna Beach at LALUME offers a discreet, efficient path to straighter teeth. Dr. Saad has completed advanced Invisalign training through the Galler's Reingage program and is a member of the American Academy of Clear Aligners at both the local and national levels. Our average Invisalign treatment time is 4 to 6 months, which is significantly faster than the 2-plus-year timelines many patients expect from orthodontic care.
For patients who want a comprehensive transformation, smile design in Laguna Beach is a custom process that considers your face shape, lip line, skin tone, and smile goals as a whole. Rather than treating teeth as isolated units, Dr. Saad designs your smile as part of your overall facial appearance, ensuring that the final result looks natural, harmonious, and genuinely you.
We understand that cosmetic dentistry is an investment, and we want to make that investment as manageable as possible. Our practice accepts most PPO insurance plans, though cosmetic procedures such as veneers are not typically covered. For those who need financing, we offer options through Cherry and CareCredit to help spread the cost of treatment over time. We also offer in-house membership plans for patients seeking a more structured approach to their overall dental care.
Dr. Shahira Saad earned her dental degree from the UCLA School of Dentistry and completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency at UCLA Venice, where she received focused training in cosmetic dentistry and full-mouth rehabilitation. She brings that foundation to every case at LALUME, combined with an artistic eye for aesthetics and a genuine commitment to conservative, patient-centered care. Laguna Beach patients who choose LALUME are choosing a practice where quality and comfort are equally important, and where every treatment decision is made with your long-term health and smile goals in mind.

We offer porcelain veneers, no-prep veneers, composite veneers, Invisalign, smile design, and more. Dr. Saad will evaluate your smile during a consultation and recommend the most modest plan to help you reach your goals.
Our average Invisalign treatment time is 4 to 6 months, which is considerably faster than traditional orthodontic timelines. Dr. Saad’s advanced training allows her to work efficiently without compromising the quality of your outcome.
The type of veneer best suited for your smile is determined by Dr. Saad during your consultation. Her goal is always to use the most measured option possible while achieving the aesthetic result you are looking for. Some patients are excellent candidates for no-prep veneers, while others may benefit more from traditional porcelain or composite veneers, or a combination of types may be used.
No, no-prep veneers are priced higher than traditional veneers because of the technique-sensitive nature of their fabrication. Both types are designed to last 15 or more years with proper care.
We accept most PPO insurance plans. Cosmetic procedures like veneers are considered elective and are not typically covered by insurance, but we offer financing through Cherry and CareCredit to help make treatment accessible.
