Dr. Cecilia Infantado, smile designer

Why is the practice called "Smile Designer"?

Dr. Cecilia named her practice Smile Designer Co., Inc. because that's closer to how she actually works: she treats a smile the way a designer treats a brief, starting from what a face and a personality already have going for them, then working out which shape, shade, and alignment gets a patient's smile to match how they already see themselves. That's a different starting question than "what's wrong with your teeth," and it changes the whole consultation. Instead of listing problems to correct, the first conversation is about what the patient wants their smile to communicate, confidence, warmth, a more youthful look, and the treatment plan gets built backward from that goal. It's also why the practice takes reference photos and mood boards seriously at the consultation stage: a design brief needs a clear target before anyone picks up an instrument, cosmetic dentistry included.

How does Dr. Cecilia work with new patients?

Every new patient gets an honest look at the options before any procedure gets booked: what Invisalign can and can't fix, when veneers make more sense than bonding, whether a whitening session should happen before or after a restoration. Dr. Cecilia's own words, "let your smile speak with confidence" and "we care for your enamel," are less taglines than the two things she checks on every case: that the result looks confident and that the tooth structure underneath is protected, not just covered up.

What makes Smile Designer Co. different?

Dentistry conceived with passion, continuous learning and updating of technology to give the best treatment possible that benefits the patient. The practice has run on that idea since it was founded in 2000: not a fixed number of years of doing the same thing, but a standing habit of updating how the work gets done as the field itself changes.
