I recently had a filling done by Dr. Saad at LaLume Dental Studio, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The office itself is beautiful, more reminiscent of a luxury spa than a typical dental practice. However, the welcoming staff quickly puts you at ease, striking a perfect balance between professionalism and friendliness. Dr. Saad is truly outstanding in her field. She took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, which greatly alleviated any anxiety I had. Her technique is remarkably gentle; I was surprised at how comfortable I felt throughout the entire process, even during the anesthetic injection. What stood out most was Dr. Saad's efficiency without compromising on quality. The procedure was completed swiftly, yet the results are impeccable. My new filling feels completely natural - I can't even detect it when eating.For anyone in need of a filling or any dental work, I highly recommend Dr. Saad. Her expertise and approach have genuinely changed my perspective on dental visits. LaLume Dental Studio offers a level of care and comfort that sets a new standard for dental experiences.

Dr. Saad is a life saver! I was born missing my two front side teeth and never felt confident to smile. No dentist ever made me feel comfortable to move forward with dental treatment until I discovered Dr. Saad. I appreciate that Dr. Saad spent ample time explaining all of my options in great detail and put my severe dental anxiety at ease. Not only is she very smart and up to date on the latest technology, she is SO sweet and her eye for detail is impeccable. I can’t thank her enough for giving me the smile of my dreams!

Dr. Saad and her entire team are fantastic! I needed to replace some old veneers, crowns and a bridge and was dreading it. Dr. Saad provided the absolute best care and designed a smile that far exceeded my expectations. The process was as painless as possible and with light sedation, it was stress-free. Dr. Saad is up to date on the latest developments and technology, too. Highly recommend for any cosmetic dentistry!
