The benefits of Smile Design

Facially-driven smile design is more than a treatment—it’s a tailored plan featuring a variety of procedures that will boost your confidence and improve your oral health. Our minimally invasive approach restores balance, harmony, and health to your smile while preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible. Financing is available through Cherry and CareCredit to make your smile transformation accessible.

Increased Self-Confidence

A beautiful, radiant smile can significantly boost your self-esteem and help you feel more confident in social and professional situations. You’ll find yourself smiling more often and embracing life with newfound assurance.

Enhanced Facial Aesthetics

Our approach to smile design takes into account your facial features, age, and skin tone to create a smile that harmoniously complements your appearance. The result is a more balanced, youthful, and attractive look that lights up your entire face.

Improved Oral Health

Many smile design treatments not only enhance the appearance of your smile but also contribute to better oral health. Correcting misaligned teeth, closing gaps, and addressing other issues can make it easier to maintain proper oral hygiene, reducing the risk of decay and gum disease.

Smile Design Treatment Options

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored porcelain bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. They can dramatically transform your smile by addressing a wide range of cosmetic concerns, such as discoloration, gaps, chips, and misalignment. Dr. Saad’s goal is always to preserve as much tooth structure as possible while maintaining beautiful aesthetics and achieving your smile goals. Not everyone is a candidate for no-prep or minimal-prep veneers, but by choosing Dr. Saad, you can be sure that the most conservative option possible will be used.

Composite veneers are a more economical alternative to porcelain veneers, using tooth-colored BPA-free resin to reshape and enhance your smile. This minimally invasive treatment can be completed in a single visit, allowing you to walk out of our Newport Beach office with a beautifully transformed smile that radiates confidence.

Laser gum lifting is a minimally invasive procedure that reshapes and contours your gumline, creating a more symmetrical and attractive frame for your teeth. This treatment can address a gummy smile or uneven gum margins, revealing more of your natural tooth structure for a brilliant, balanced smile.

Icon white spot removal is a minimally invasive dental treatment designed to improve the appearance of white spot lesions on teeth. White spot lesions are early signs of tooth decay that appear as chalky, opaque areas on the tooth enamel. The Icon treatment involves applying a BPA-free resin material to the affected areas, which infiltrates the porous enamel and helps to blend the white spots with the surrounding healthy tooth structure. No drilling or anesthesia required.

Invisalign is a clear, removable aligner system that gradually straightens your teeth without the need for traditional metal braces. This discreet and comfortable treatment option allows you to achieve a beautifully aligned smile while maintaining your lifestyle and confidence throughout the process. Invisalign treatment can also be used prior to other smile design procedures to ensure longer-lasting restorations and more conservative preparation techniques. For patients experiencing a history of multiple cracked teeth, Invisalign can be used to balance the heavy forces of the bite and prevent cracked teeth from continuing to happen.

Smile shaping, also known as tooth contouring, is a completely painless technique that subtly reshapes your teeth to create a more harmonious and balanced smile without the need to get numb. By carefully polishing enamel, Dr. Saad can smooth out small chips and irregularities on the edges of the teeth, giving you a beautifully refined smile that shines with confidence.

Dental edge bonding is a versatile, conservative treatment that uses tooth-colored BPA-free resin to repair chipped or cracked edges of teeth. This cost-effective option can be used to enhance the appearance of your teeth and complement other restorative and cosmetic treatments in your smile design plan.

Professional teeth whitening can be an excellent complement to your smile design plan, brightening your smile and enhancing the overall results of your treatment. Dr. Saad offers both in-office and take-home whitening options to fit your needs and schedule.

Smile Design FAQs

Have questions about smile design in Newport Beach? We have answers.

The duration of your smile design treatment will depend on the specific procedures involved and the extent of the changes desired. Some treatments, like teeth whitening or composite veneers, can be completed in a single visit, while others, like Invisalign or porcelain veneers, may require multiple appointments over the course of a few weeks or months. Our average Invisalign treatment length is 4–6 months. Dr. Saad will provide you with a personalized treatment plan and timeline during your consultation at LALUME Dental Studio.

Most smile design treatments at LALUME Dental Studio involve minimal discomfort. Many procedures, such as teeth whitening or laser gum lifting, are virtually painless. For treatments that may cause some sensitivity, such as porcelain veneers, Dr. Saad will ensure that you are comfortable throughout the process by using local anesthesia. We also offer oral conscious sedation for patients who experience dental anxiety. Our team prioritizes your comfort and well-being at every step.

The longevity of your smile design results will depend on the specific treatments you receive and how well you maintain your oral health. Procedures like porcelain veneers can provide long-lasting results—often more than 15 years with proper care. Invisalign results are permanent when worn with retainers as directed. Other treatments, such as teeth whitening, may require touch-ups every few months or years to maintain your brilliant smile. Dr. Saad will provide you with guidance on how to care for your new smile and maximize the lifespan of your results.
