eamPeople worldwide know the City of Newport Beach as a haven for beauty. Savvy travelers frequently journey from all over the United States and the globe to visit Orange County to take advantage of the best plastic surgeons and elite wellness facilities.
The same level of selectivity should be expected for your dental care as well.
If you decide to invest in a complete smile makeover, geography can never be a determining factor in standards of care. Just because they’re a few minutes away from your home is not a good reason to go to the dentist. You are making permanent changes to your face that will be seen by others. Convenience is the wrong measure of success. Mastery is the only criterion that matters when choosing a cosmetic dentist.
We are uncompromising when it comes to quality, which is the reason many of our patients travel from all over the world to Luminous Smiles. They know that Dr. Dimple Desai is one of the top 1% of Cosmetic Dentists in the world with the AACD Accreditation. This kind of artistic expertise is little heard of.
We’ve created a special Destination Dentistry program for our traveling clientele. The quality of private bayside luxury is created from what is normally supposed to be a medical procedure only.
The Logistics of Excellence: Why People Travel for Teeth
You may question the wisdom of the executive from Chicago or public figure from London to travel to Southern California only to have porcelain veneers installed. The answer comes down to predictability and risk mitigation.
It’s rare to find any true cosmetic specialists in most local markets. There are lots of patients who settle for the most convenient and end up being frustrated. They end up with an ‘awkward bite’ or a veneered face that looks unnatural. These errors will take months of correction. It is much more expensive than doing it the right way.
Our traveling patients consider their visit to Newport Beach as an insurance policy. Avoiding the variables by going to an established and trusted professional. They understand that planning will be comprehensive and resources will be of the highest quality. They also understand that the end result will be perfect.
Our out-of-town patients are taking time out of their important schedules. And we know that time is their most valuable asset. Thus, all of our Destination Dentistry program is designed to be efficient and precise.
From Runway to Chair: The VIP Experience
As soon as you choose Luminous Smiles to take care of you, it is our staff of concierges who handle the details. Your only responsibility is to show up.
The process initiates from the moment you book a ticket. Full virtual consultations are offered. We examine your photos, talk about your goals, and provide you with a clear treatment plan. Once you approve the plan, we arrange for your visit.
We can arrange private car service to meet you at the arrivals gate at either John Wayne Airport (SNA) or Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). You are taken immediately to our Newport Beach office, or straight to your luxury-hotel accommodation.

Our team has experience in handling NDA’s, arranging private office visits, and can provide exclusive periods of time where you will be the only patient in the clinic. From the moment you arrive, you will get our undivided attention.
Recover in Coastal Luxury: Our Partner Hotels
There is nowhere in the world with as spectacular hospitality as in Southern California. We’ve established connections with top properties around the field to make certain that your recuperation is as luxurious as your treatment.

We handle the rooms directly at the concierge desks of these accommodations, and are able to provide soft-diet food that is appropriate for patients’ temporary veneers as well as ensure that your stay is comfortable and well suited to your healing efforts.
The Treatment Timeline: What to Expect
The complete case of a porcelain veneer takes roughly 5-7 days. We consolidate the number of appointments you have to reduce your time in the dental chair and maximize your time out on the ocean.
The preparation of your natural teeth is the first day in your retreat. This is a mild and well-controlled process. Dr. Desai is utilizing modern technologies for the highest level of comfort. On this visit, we will put your ‘Trial Smile’ on. They are aesthetically pleasing, handmade temporary veneers. Meaning on that same first day, you come out of our office with a gorgeous preview of what your final result will look like.
The next few days, while you bask in the sun or indulge yourself with shopping at Fashion Island, our master ceramists are busy at work. They have reference notes and photos recorded by Dr. Desai, and hand-layer porcelain for your ultimate results.
On the last day, Dr. Desai carefully places each of the final restorations. She makes sure there is a perfect balance and that the look is flawless. When you leave our office, you have a new, brilliant smile forever.
