If I could talk to my younger self, here’s what I’d say:

Stop chasing perfection...no one cares.

Patients don’t buy veneers. They buy confidence.

Shut up and listen. It’s your most valuable skill.

You’re not fixing teeth. You’re rebuilding people.

That’s the game. Play it right, and you’ll never just be “a dentist.”

Save this if you needed the reminder. Share it if someone you know does.

Every face is different. Every smile is a story.

This patient came to me feeling self-conscious about his smile, having hidden it for years. When someone trusts me with that kind of vulnerability, I don’t just want to give them veneers, I truly do everything I can to give them back their confidence.

With this case, I spent time really looking at my patient’s face, studying his bone structure, understanding the reality of where his teeth were at and what needed to change. There’s a high level of artistry, precision and technique that I put into both planning and executing, and the goal isn’t that everyone’s smile would look the same. It’s about creating a smile that makes my patients look and feel like themselves...only elevated.

Swipe to see the magic ✨

This is what happens when we throw out the cookie-cutter approach and actually design something custom. Something with soul.



Este paciente llegó a mí sintiéndose inseguro con su sonrisa, después de haberla escondido por años.
Cuando alguien me confía ese nivel de vulnerabilidad, no se trata solo de poner carillas, hago todo lo posible por devolverle su confianza.

En este caso, me tomé el tiempo de observar bien su rostro, estudiar su estructura ósea, entender exactamente en qué estado estaban sus dientes y qué necesitaba cambiar. Hay un nivel muy alto de arte, precisión y técnica que aplico tanto en la planificación como en la ejecución, y el objetivo no es que todas las sonrisas se vean iguales.

Se trata de crear una sonrisa que haga que mis pacientes se vean y se sientan como ellos mismos… pero elevados.

Desliza para ver la magia ✨

Esto es lo que pasa cuando dejamos atrás lo genérico y diseñamos algo verdaderamente personalizado. Algo con alma.

This wasn’t his first smile makeover… it was his third.
In the last 30 years, he’d had two full sets of crowns and veneers, and by the time he came to me, his previous smile was:
❌ Worn down and dull, with the gloss completely gone (and we don't know why!)
❌ Shifted and crooked in alignment
❌ Gums receded — and uneven at that

After months of research — and seeing his wife work with another renowned cosmetic dentist — he chose me to create the final version, one built to last.

Here’s what we did:
✨ Replaced all 24 teeth/restorations with custom, handcrafted crowns and veneers
✨ Performed gum lifting and reshaping surgery for more symmetry
✨ Restored alignment, proportion, and bite balance
✨ Selected a natural shade with the perfect translucency, gloss, and character — just for him

The result: a strong, timeless smile that finally feels like him.

🦷 I don’t think I’ve ever actually walked you through the veneer process from the patient’s perspective… so here it is, step by step.

This is the exact journey my patients go through at VIDA Dentistry Studio—intentional, elevated, and completely custom to you.

We don’t design veneers just for your teeth—we design for your face, your features, your expressions, your energy.
It has to feel aligned. It has to feel right.

From your ultra-conservative prep, to your custom temporaries (that honestly look amazing on their own), to that final moment in the mirror where you can’t stop smiling—this is what it means to create a transformation that lasts.

Because when it’s done right, it’s not just cosmetic.
It’s personal. It’s powerful. And yes, it’s a vibe. ✨

She came in asking for veneers on her bottom teeth.
She told me that’s what she noticed most—and what she thought needed to be done.

I looked at her and said, absolutely not.
This time around, I was going to guide her from the start—because it was clear to me that wasn’t the issue, and frankly, it wouldn’t have even been possible without shaving her lower front teeth close to the nerve.

Instead, I recommended we focus on the upper teeth.
She had a deep bite, significant eruption on the lowers, and visible asymmetry. Addressing the top would create a stronger, healthier foundation.

✨ We did 8 upper veneers
✨ Bleached the lower teeth
✨ Added Invisalign attachments to start correcting her bite

Those little bumps on the bottom? That’s how we anchor the trays to gently guide her lower teeth downward—making room for a future, minimal-prep solution on the lowers.

She’s not done yet—but the change already feels profound.
She looks like herself, only more balanced, more radiant, and more confident.

At Vida Studio, we don’t just deliver veneers.
We evaluate the whole face, the bite, and the long-term plan.
We educate, guide, and collaborate with our patients—so they get results that are both beautiful and right for them.

And I’m officially back.
Back from vacation. Back in the studio. Back in flow.

Stress may be silent, but your face and teeth speak for it. If your jaw feels tight, heavy, or asymmetric — it’s time to listen. Grinding your teeth isn’t just a bad habit — it’s your nervous system asking for help. And your face is the first place it shows up.

My beautiful patient came in with visible masseter hypertrophy, pain from clenching, and facial asymmetry caused by chronic grinding.

✨ Just one round of masseter Botox, three months apart — and look at the difference: a softer, more balanced jawline and real relief from tension.

As a cosmetic dentist, I don’t just inject. I assess your bite, clenching patterns, facial symmetry, and the muscular dynamics behind your tension. This is more than aesthetics — it’s facial wellness.

Botox alone won’t fix the root of bruxism. But when paired with Emface to release deep facial tension and tone the elevator muscles, or Invisalign to correct bite imbalances, it becomes part of a powerful, long-term solution.

💉 Botox works by relaxing the overactive masseter muscle. Over time, the muscle shrinks (atrophies) from disuse, reducing bulk and relieving pressure.

📸 Every face is different — that’s why I customize dosing, document your progress, and approach each case with intention and care.

This is what EMFACE can do — and this was only used on half his face!
No needles. No downtime. No surgery.

In just 6 EMFACE sessions in 6 weeks (2 for the cheeks, 6 for the under-chin), we watched Tristan's lower face tighten, lift, and sculpt — all while living life as usual.

This isn’t just about wrinkles.
This is about structure. Symmetry. Strength & Balance.
FDA-approved for facial lifting and rejuvenation — and now being cleared for TMJ pain, TMD symptoms, and bruxism.

And tomorrow…
YOU can experience it for yourself.

Her dentist told her, “You need to see Dr. Vida for this.”
Not because it was simple—but because it wasn’t.
And that’s the kind of work I feel so honored to receive from other amazing doctors that I don't even know.

This wasn’t a quick smile makeover. It was a full transformation.
When she came to me, her case involved extensive decay from dry mouth, a canted smile, a shifted midline, fragile teeth, and worn-down molars. Her previous dentist knew it would take a blend of surgical precision, artistic design, and a vision for the bigger picture. That’s where I come in.

Together, my patient and I planned every phase—from gum surgery to anterior crown lengthening, custom overlays, full-mouth crowns, bridges, and even international collaboration with her endodontist in Peru. (Yes, Peru!) We lifted her smile—literally and energetically—with conscious sedation sessions that felt almost spiritual in nature. And we created the illusion of symmetry and harmony in places where the teeth couldn’t be moved.

But the most powerful part?
She trusted me—fully.
And now, she’s continuing her journey with , because this wasn’t just about restoring her smile… it was about restoring her light!

To be referred for cases like these—by dentists I haven’t even met yet—is the deepest honor.
This is what I love.
The intricate cases. The trust. The art. The healing.
This is smile alchemy.

Grateful and Honored Beyond Words 💫
Amid the daily hustle and devotion to my patients, I humbly overlooked sharing a milestone that means the world to me.
In 2024, AGD Impact—the Academy of General Dentistry’s official publication—featured me in a special issue highlighting dental professionals leading the way on social media.

Out of nearly 250,000 licensed dentists in the United States, I was selected as one of just six to be interviewed about how we’re shaping the digital space while elevating patient care.

Embracing Authenticity in the Digital Age

In the interview, I spoke about blending dentistry with storytelling, and how creating honest, real content has helped break down fear, educate, and build trust with patients around the world.
This platform began with just my iPhone—and over time, it became a space where patients feel seen, and where dentistry feels more human.

A Heartfelt Thank You

I’m deeply thankful to AGD Impact for this honor—and even more so to every patient, colleague, and supporter who’s been on this journey with me.
Here’s to creating, connecting, and continuing to show up with heart.
