For many people, dissatisfaction with their smile becomes a quiet habit. They smile less in photos, cover their mouth when they laugh, or simply stop showing their teeth altogether.Whether your teeth are worn, chipped, discolored, or the result of previous dental work that never felt quite right, you don't have to keep hiding your smile.

How It Works
Beautiful Smiles Don't Happen by Chance.
Every transformation begins with careful planning, thoughtful design, and attention to every detail.
Step 1
The Conversation
We start by listening. What do you love about your smile? What bothers you? What have you tried before? We take our time here because understanding what you want is as important as knowing what is clinically possible.
Step 2
The Dental Stability Evaluation
Before cosmetic treatment, our Dental Stability Evaluation reviews your teeth, gums, bite and existing restorations. We explain any care recommended before proceeding with your smile design.
Step 3
Smile Design & Digital Preview
Using digital smile design tools, we show you what your result could look like before any preparation begins. You see it, you approve it, and we refine it until it is exactly right.
Step 4
Preparation & Temporaries
If your treatment involves veneers or crowns, temporary restorations are placed so you can wear your new smile before the final result is made. You live in it. You test it. You confirm it.
Step 5
Final Placement
Your final porcelain restorations are crafted to AACD-level standards. They are bonded with precision and checked for fit, color, bite, and naturalness before we are finished.
Step 6
Long-Term Care
We don't hand you off after treatment. We monitor your bite, check your restorations, and ensure your smile stays exactly as it was designed - for as long as possible.
Cosmetic Treatments We Offer
Every treatment listed below begins with a proper diagnosis - never a sales pitch.
Porcelain Veneers
Ultra-thin porcelain shells bonded to the front surface of your teeth. Custom-crafted to match your natural tooth color, shape, and translucency.
Composite Veneers
Tooth-colored resin sculpted onto the teeth to improve chips, gaps or shape. Ask how composite compares with porcelain for your planned result, maintenance and budget.
Smile Makeovers
A combination of two or more cosmetic treatments planned and sequenced to create a complete smile transformation from first visit to final result.
Teeth Whitening
Professional-grade whitening that goes beyond what over-the-counter products can achieve - safe, supervised, and lasting.
Gum Contouring
Reshaping the gum line to create better proportion between your teeth and gums - often the missing piece of a truly balanced smile.
Dental Bonding
Tooth-colored composite resin applied to repair chips, cracks, gaps, or discoloration with minimal preparation and in a single appointment.

Patient Transformations
Beautiful Results. Thoughtfully Designed.
"I Never Smiled in Photos." — Andrea
Andrea spent years hiding her smile in photos. Rather than starting with veneers, we started with a diagnosis — evaluating her symmetry, bite, and the missing tooth behind her concern. The result is so natural no one can tell any dentistry was done.
Common Questions
Things Patients Ask Before Getting Veneers
We plan tooth shape, shade and proportions around your face, existing teeth and preferences. Your consultation and smile preview are opportunities to discuss the look you want and the limits of treatment. You can also explore our before-and-after gallery and Dr. Khandaqji’s background.
Veneer preparation depends on tooth position and the planned result. Removing enamel is irreversible. Minimal-prep or no-prep treatment is not suitable for every smile; we explain the proposed preparation before you decide.
Veneers are not lifetime restorations. Their lifespan varies with oral health, daily care and biting forces. Chips, wear or loosening may require repair or replacement. Regular dental visits help us check the veneers and the teeth supporting them.
Yes – and we recommend it. If you are planning to whiten, do so before your veneers are made so we can match the porcelain to your whitened shade. Veneers cannot be whitened after placement.
Porcelain veneers are laboratory-made shells. Composite veneers use tooth-colored resin and may need fewer visits or less preparation. Composite is generally easier to repair but less resistant to staining and wear. Neither option should be assumed reversible.
There is no single price for every smile. Your estimate depends on the number of teeth treated, materials, laboratory work and any care needed before cosmetic treatment. At your consultation, ask for an itemized plan comparing the recommended option with reasonable alternatives, including future maintenance. Cosmetic veneers may not be covered by insurance; confirm your specific benefits before treatment. Explore financing and insurance information.
Veneers improve the front surfaces of teeth; crowns may be considered when a tooth needs greater structural support. The decision starts with an examination, not the appearance alone. Ask whether bonding, whitening or orthodontic treatment could address your concern. If several teeth are worn, broken or missing, explore our full mouth rehabilitation approach.
