Where do I begin? My smile makeover journey began in February 2022. I’m 32 years old and somewhat going through a “mid-mid life” crisis (in a good way). So, to start the new year I wanted to enhance my smile. It wasn’t really bad to begin with but I wanted to get a cosmetic consult and see what a professional had to say. I also had braces a kid but wasn’t really disciplined about wearing my lower retainers in my 20s so the teeth had shifted. So, I was also looking into Invisalign as treatment option as well.
I researched online and found Dr. Sarah Jebreil, DDS. I was really impressed with the positive google reviews she had and her overall online and social media presence was very professional. This propelled me to call her office and schedule an appointment for a cosmetic consult.
The Day of, Dr. Jebreil, Tina, and Margarita were super friendly and nice. Dr. Jebreil and her team put a solid treatment plan together for me. She recommended that I could benefit from 4 porcelain veneers on the top (and she was absolutely right!). Additionally, I went and ahead proceeded with Invisalign for my lower teeth as well.
I started Invisalign in March with a total of 10 Trays (so 10 weeks) and on track to almost be done (in May).
In the beginning of April, I began the process for getting porcelain veneers on my front top 4 teeth. This was a challenging month for me since it involved giving up coffee (and other teeth staining foods) most of the month (which is like giving up oxygen if you’re in Commercial Real Estate). Additionally, the temporary veneers were probably the most challenging two weeks. As a guy, you naturally have a stronger bite, so I had a few breaks every few days since temporary veneers are made from delicate material and are not permanently bonded. Each break did make me nervous since I could not show up to work with missing teeth and also because I had a few important dinners in the month of April with clients as I was selling an office building.
However, each time I had a break, the office was super nice and friendly about squeezing me in as soon as possible to fix the temporary veneers.
On April 25th, my permanent porcelain veneers arrived and Dr. Jebreil permanently bonded all 4 of them that day. Dr. Jebreil also went ahead and contoured my canines so that my smile flowed effortlessly. She’s truly an artist and master of her craft. And as challenging as the month of April was, the end result was totally worth it!
I haven’t stopped smiling since. I literally check the rear view mirror every 5 seconds when driving because of the amazing job Dr. Jebreil did.
So, if you’re looking into getting some cosmetic work done on your teeth, I’d highly recommend you visit Dr. Jebreil in Newport Beach. You won’t be...
   Read moreDr. Jebreil and her entire staff are an absolute joy and gift to the dental industry. I will recommend them to anyone looking for a new dentist, but most importantly for anyone looking for cosmetic work. I have been wanting veneers for 15 years but have always been nervous about altering the fairly decent teeth I already have. In my first consultation, she put my nerves at ease with her attention to detail and specific notes about my smile. My teeth didn't require much prep work (shaving of the tooth) which was a real relief and selling point for me. I've also always known my gums needed to be reshaped and while other dentists were going to just do some light lasering themselves, she knew that I needed more extensive crown lengthening surgery to get the full look I wanted. She recommended me to a very skilled periodontist nearby who did an incredible job evening out my gum line and giving me a less "gummy" smile.
My cosmetic work was not quick… all of it took about 4 months to complete. And while it was a long and sometimes painful process, I cannot express how happy I am! Dr. Jebreil was so meticulous, taking photos and adjusting the temporary veneers multiple times to be absolutely perfect! I cried when I saw my finished veneers for the first time, and I've cried a few times since thinking about how grateful I am to these women, their work and their care for me and my smile.
The office itself is gorgeous and gives you the full luxury experience which I didn't know I wanted in a dentist until I had it. They give you headphones and an ipad above your head with netflix to watch during any procedure! I especially love that they use text messaging to confirm and reschedule all appointments. The woman at the front desk, Margarita, would text me the next day after an appointment to check in and make sure I'm feeling ok. I greatly appreciate the thought and especially the texts as I am not one to enjoy speaking on the telephone during my work day.
Full disclosure, Dr. Jebreil is expensive. At first, I was very nervous with how much I was agreeing to pay compared to other dentists I met with (I got light headed handing in that check.) But, WOW, am I glad a trusted my gut! These are your TEETH! Please, please, please do not risk ruining the teeth you already have by going to a less expensive dentist. If you can't afford it, wait until you can and then go to Dr. Jebreil! Now that it is all over, I honestly feel I got more than my money's worth from her and her entire team. They all put their heart and soul into their work and genuinely care about their patient's happiness. I cannot thank them enough and will be grateful for the rest of my life for my...
   Read moreI researched doctors for over a year and spent about $1500 in consultation fees before I decided on Dr. Jebreil’s office. Choosing Dr. Sarah Jebreil for my smile design was the best decision I could have made. She is a perfectionist and cares not just about aesthetics, but also about complete oral care and dental hygiene. I have always hated my smile – my midline was off and each of my natural teeth were a different length. Also, my teeth had significantly shifted and started to crowd, so much that my front teeth flared out a bit. Even with Invisalign, it never fully straightened my teeth or corrected my bite. The increase of Zoom meetings only highlighted my flaws (and insecurities), and I decided it was time to invest in my smile.
I was skeptical on having a smile design because even though I hated my smile, I didn’t want thick, fake, “denture-looking” teeth. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I know that bigger, thicker teeth are trending. However, it was very important to me have a more natural looking appearance to my teeth. Smile design is challenging because you can’t just pick out a smile that you like…your mouth size, tooth size, shape and alignment are all factors that need to be taken into consideration. That is why finding a doctor that not only understands the look you are going for but listens to your needs is just as important. I knew for sure that I wanted my canines to be more pronounced and preferred my front teeth to be more squared and slightly longer in length than the rest of my teeth. Dr. Jebreil not only understood what I wanted but went the extra mile and sent back the initial set of veneers because they weren’t absolutely perfect. She emphasized she wanted me to be 100% satisfied with the end results.
I had an amazing experience with Dr. Jebreil and her team. They were welcoming, passionate, and professional throughout the entire process. I decided on 10 veneers total – 6 porcelain and 4 composite – and KoR whitening. Margarita, her office manager, knew how to work with my insurance to help offset some costs so that I could stay within budget. They really take the time to focus on their patients and go above and beyond. It is also worth noting that I hate needles and the process of numbing my mouth makes me anxious. Dr. Jebreil’s technique is quick and painless! And she made sure I was completely numb throughout my entire procedure.
My smile looks incredible. Because this was such a big investment, I had put it off for years. But I regret not doing this a lot sooner. I liked this office so much, I transferred over to get my cleanings done...
