A dental studio for people who treat their smile like an investment.
Two senior cosmetic dentists. One quiet studio in the arts district. We do fewer cases per week than most practices do per day, and we plan each one like it matters, because it does.
You did the work. You spent the money. And still you cover your mouth in photos.
01
You were sold veneers like a haircut. A consult on Tuesday, prep on Thursday, and a smile that does not look like yours by the weekend. The result reads as work, not as you.
02
The shade was picked from a chart held against your cheek. There was no preview, no second opinion, no rehearsal. By the time you saw the smile, the enamel was already gone.
03
When something felt wrong, the practice moved on to the next chair. Adjustments became inconveniences. You started to feel like a case file, not a patient.
02 / Two visits, two outcomes
A side-by-side of the visit you remember, and the one we deliver.
The visit you remember
Rushed, transactional, and faintly clinical.
You arrived to a waiting room of strangers and a clipboard you had filled out twice already. The dentist met you for nine minutes, quoted you from a laminated sheet, and handed you off to a hygienist for the rest.
You left with a treatment plan you did not write and a number you did not negotiate. The shade looked fine in the chair and harsh in daylight.
The visit we deliver
Considered, private, and unmistakably yours.
You are the only patient on the schedule. Your senior dentist meets you for ninety minutes. We photograph, measure, and listen before we say a single word about treatment.
Two weeks later you see your smile in a digital preview, in three lighting conditions, on a screen the size of a small window. Nothing irreversible happens until you say so.
03 / Why we built a studio, not a clinic
Most practices were designed for throughput. We designed ours for restraint.
The economics of modern dentistry reward volume. A typical cosmetic chair sees eight to twelve patients a day, which is how a smile makeover ends up sharing a calendar slot with a routine cleaning. The result is competent work and forgettable outcomes.
We see four patients a day. Two dentists, two operatories, a shared lab on the floor below us. Every case is planned twice and previewed once before a single millimetre of enamel is touched. That is the new mechanism, and it is the only reason this work is worth doing.

04 / What changes when fewer hands are on the work
Six quiet differences that decide whether the result lasts a decade or fades in a year.
01
One senior dentist, start to finish.
Your consult, your prep, your bonding, your follow-up. The same hands, the same eyes, the same standard. No handoffs to associates you have not met.
02
A digital preview before anything is irreversible.
We mock up the smile in software and on a wax model. You see and approve it under daylight, lamplight, and camera flash before we touch enamel.
03
Shades selected against your skin, not a chart.
We photograph you in three lighting conditions and match the porcelain to your complexion, your eyes, and the way you actually live. Not to a generic B1.
04
A ceramist who knows your face.
Our master ceramist works one floor below us. She meets every patient before she touches a case. The result is porcelain that reads as tooth, not as veneer.
05
Quiet, private, and unrushed appointments.
No shared waiting room. No overheard consults. A separate entrance for patients who would rather not be seen arriving for treatment.
06
A ten-year aesthetic warranty.
If a veneer chips, stains, or fails to wear evenly within ten years, we remake it. No deductible, no negotiation. This is the only kind of guarantee that matters.
05 / Treatments and investment
Three ways in, each priced with the same honesty we use in the chair.
No memberships, no upsells, no surprise quotes. The number you see in the consult is the number you pay.
Three patients, three quiet revisions of what cosmetic dentistry can feel like.
001
"I had veneers done elsewhere in 2019. Maison redid the front four and I cannot tell you which are theirs and which are mine. That, to me, is the whole point."
Anika Mendez Brand director · Patient since 2022
002
"They sent me away from the first consult with no quote and no pressure. Three months later I came back for the full reveal. I have never been treated that calmly by a clinic of any kind."
Daniel Okafor Architect · Patient since 2023
003
"The digital preview was the deciding factor. I saw the smile, I changed two edges, and only then did anyone touch enamel. That is how this should be done."
Helena Voss Private investor · Patient since 2024
07 / What you also receive
Two quiet inclusions, made standard because they should be.
Included · 001
A digital smile preview, delivered before your second visit, revised twice if you wish.
Included · 002
A discreet whitening regimen, calibrated to your enamel and shipped to your home in a linen pouch.
08 / Promise, questions, and a closing note
"If, within ten years, a veneer chips, stains, or fails to wear evenly, we remake it. No deductible, no negotiation, no second opinion required from us. The studio carries that risk so you do not."
How many patients do you see in a week?
Between sixteen and twenty, across two dentists. We close the calendar at twenty so that follow-up visits and adjustments never feel rushed. This is the only way the standard holds.
Do you accept insurance?
For cosmetic work, generally no. We will however prepare itemised documentation for your HSA, FSA, or out-of-network claim, and our front office will file it on your behalf if you wish.
What happens at the consultation?
Ninety minutes with one of our senior dentists. Photography, intra-oral scanning, a candid conversation about what you want and what we would and would not recommend. You leave with no quote that day. The written plan arrives by post within seven days.
How long does a full reveal take, start to finish?
Eight to twelve weeks. Two weeks for planning and the digital preview. Four to six weeks for the ceramist to layer and refine the porcelain. Two visits for bonding and final adjustments. We do not compress this timeline for anyone.
Can I see work you have done?
In person, yes, at the consultation. We do not publish patient photography online. The patients who choose us tend to choose us because we do not, and we honour that on both sides.
What if I am not sure I want veneers at all?
Good. The consult is built for that conversation. Roughly a third of our patients leave with a whitening plan and edge-bonding instead of veneers, because that is the right call for their case. We will tell you that plainly.
If the work feels considered, that is because it is. We would rather plan one smile well than four smiles quickly. If that sounds like the standard you have been waiting for, we would be glad to hear from you.
