To Enhance Your Natural Beauty
At Lalume Dental Studio, we offer a comprehensive range of cosmetic dental services tailored to your unique needs and goals. Dr. Saad takes a conservative approach, preserving your natural tooth structure while creating stunning results.
Invisalign
Dr. Saad focuses on adult Invisalign treatment, with most cases completed in just 4-6 months. These clear aligners gradually straighten your teeth without the need for metal braces, offering a discreet and comfortable solution.
Porcelain Veneers
These thin, custom-made shells cover the front surface of your teeth to improve color, shape, and alignment. Dr. Saad works with a master ceramist to create natural-looking veneers that complement your facial features.
Composite Veneers
A more affordable alternative to porcelain, composite veneers can be completed in a single visit. Dr. Saad artfully applies and shapes tooth-colored resin to create a beautiful, harmonious smile.
Dental Bonding
This conservative treatment uses tooth-colored composite resin to repair chips, cracks, gaps, or discoloration. Bonding can be completed in a single appointment and preserves more of your natural tooth structure.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
Our professional take-home whitening kits include custom-fitted trays and professional-grade whitening gel, allowing you to brighten your smile gradually and conveniently in the comfort of your home.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
For those seeking immediate results, our in-office whitening treatment can lighten your teeth by several shades in just one appointment, giving you a noticeably brighter smile.
Botox for Gummy Smiles
Dr. Saad uses precisely placed Botox injections to relax the muscles that cause excessive gum exposure when smiling, creating a more balanced, aesthetically pleasing smile.
Botox for Marionette Lines
Botox can effectively reduce the downturned appearance at the corners of the mouth, creating a more youthful, positive expression.
Smile Design
Dr. Saad often combines treatments like Invisalign and veneers to create comprehensive smile makeovers. This conservative approach allows for minimal tooth reduction while achieving maximum aesthetic improvement.
Gum Contouring
Using advanced soft-tissue laser technology, Dr. Saad can reshape uneven or excessive gum tissue to create a more proportionate, harmonious smile.
FAQs
We're here to answer your questions about cosmetic dentistry.
How do I know which cosmetic treatment is right for me?
During your consultation, Dr. Saad will discuss your goals, examine your teeth, and recommend the most appropriate treatment options. She may use digital imaging to show you potential results and help you make an informed decision based on your aesthetic preferences, budget, and timeline.
Is cosmetic dentistry covered by insurance?
Most dental insurance plans consider cosmetic treatments elective and do not provide coverage. However, some procedures, like bonding to repair damaged teeth, may receive partial coverage. We offer financing options through CareCredit and Cherry to help make your cosmetic treatments more affordable.
How long do cosmetic dental treatments last?
The longevity of cosmetic treatments varies depending on the specific procedure and your oral hygiene habits. With proper care, teeth whitening can last 6-12 months, bonding 5-7 years, and veneers 10-15 years or more. Regular dental check-ups and good home care can help extend the life of your cosmetic treatments.
