Your new smile,
designed before
it's ever made.

Every smile design case here starts with a mock-up placed over your own teeth — you see it, live with it, and approve it before a single tooth is prepared. Led by Dr. Yarima Newlin, who holds an MSc in Aesthetic Dentistry from King's College London.

The dentist

Trained in Houston.
Refined in London.

Dr. Newlin began her dental studies in Cartagena, Colombia, took a biology degree magna cum laude in Houston, and earned her DDS at UTHealth. Then she went further than most dentists ever do.

Her approach is deliberately conservative: the newest imaging and planning technology, used to remove as little of your natural tooth as possible.

  • Consults for dental AI companies on radiographic interpretation

How smile design works

Four steps — and you approve every one of them.

Most practices show you the result after it is permanent. Here the order is reversed: the design is the deliverable, and the porcelain only follows once you have said yes.

  1. 01

    Consultation

    Photographs, a scan, and a conversation about what you actually want changed. Nothing is prepared at this visit.

  2. 02

    Design

    Your smile is designed digitally on your own scan — proportion, edge position, and shade planned before a single tooth is touched.

  3. 03

    The mock-up

    The design is placed directly over your teeth so you can see it, live with it, photograph it, and change it. Approval is yours.

    ★ Try it on first
  4. 04

    Placement

    Only once the design is agreed. No-prep or minimally prepped porcelain, so as much of your natural tooth as possible is kept.

Book an Appointment

Dental emergency?

Call us. We will find you
the soonest appointment.

Pain, a break, a lost crown or a knocked-out tooth. A limited emergency exam is $49, and savings-plan members get two included each year.

281-768-8920

Diagnosed in-house, not estimated

Cone beam CT
Three-dimensional imaging of the whole jaw at a fraction of the dose of conventional scanning — so implant and root canal planning is measured, not estimated.
Intra-oral scanner
Digital impressions. No tray, no putty, no gagging — and the scan becomes the model your smile is designed on.
Digital radiography
Images appear on screen the moment they are taken, with markedly less radiation than film, and you see exactly what the dentist sees.

Common questions

Do you take my insurance?

We accept a range of dental insurance plans and verify your benefits before treatment begins, so you know your cost in advance. Call 281-768-8920 and we will confirm your specific plan.

What if I do not have insurance?

Our in-house savings plan is $239 per year and includes two exams, two cleanings, x-rays, fluoride and oral cancer screenings, with 30–60% off further treatment. There are no copays and no waiting period. We also offer financing through Cherry, CareCredit, Scratchpay and Sunbit.

Can I see my new smile before committing to veneers?

Yes. Every smile design case includes a mock-up placed over your own teeth before anything is prepared, so you approve the result first.

Do you speak Spanish?

Yes. Dr. Newlin is a native Spanish speaker and the practice cares for patients in both English and Spanish.

Are you open on Saturdays?

We are open the first and third Saturday of each month, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm.
