The smile you've wanted for years
A new smile shouldn't look fake, and it shouldn't take forever.
Maybe you've wanted to change your smile for a long time, but you've seen results that look too white, too big or simply not like the person wearing them. Or you worry about starting something that turns into years of appointments.
A smile makeover combines the treatments your smile needs, such as aligners, whitening, bonding and veneers, into one plan with a clear order and timeline. We design it around your face and photos of your smile, and you preview the result before treatment begins. Your gums and bite come first, so the new smile is built to last. You decide the pace, and you'll always know what comes next.

What a designed smile gives you
A smile makeover is a big decision, and careful design is what makes it worth it. Here's what that design brings to your new smile.
Tooth shape, length, color and gum line are planned around your lips, face and personality, so the result looks natural on you. It looks like you, at your best.
Healthy gums and a stable bite come first, so veneers and other work aren't undermined by inflammation or grinding. Your investment keeps paying off for years. Your new smile is built on a solid foundation.
Treatments are sequenced to keep as much tooth as possible, such as straightening before veneers so less enamel is removed. Your teeth stay stronger.
You see every step, its timing and its cost up front, so there are no surprises along the way. You decide the pace, with no pressure. No surprises.
A smile you're proud of changes how you show up at work, with family and in photos, and it's designed to last. It's a change you'll notice every day.

A gentle dentist who champions your lifelong health
Dr. Rubecca Shahid owns SMILES ON 35th in Wedgwood and leads your care herself, gently and with time to listen. Her own health struggles, then her mother's diagnosis, left her asking what the point of all our hard work is without the health to enjoy it. Longevity dentistry is her answer: care that protects your mouth and your health, so you can enjoy the life you're building.
Her care is conservative: she saves natural tooth wherever she can, chooses the least invasive option that will last, and recommends only treatment that truly helps you. When a tooth needs more, she shows you why. She is empathetic and thorough, with clear choices and no pressure.
She champions your long-term health and has trained to deliver on it. A Kois Center graduate, one of about 1,200 dentists worldwide, she completes nearly eight times the continuing education Washington requires every year. Her training spans prevention, function and sleep, restoration and smile design, so one dentist who knows you can plan each stage, close to home.

I came to longevity dentistry through my own health journey, wanting to understand why problems start and how to prevent them. What I needed then is what I want for you now: more good years, a smile you feel good about, and a dentist who listens.
