I'd been thinking about veneers for ten years. Dr. Marta is the only dentist who actually listened to what I wanted my smile to look like - and then delivered it. People keep asking what I changed.

What it can change
What cosmetic dentistry can change.
Most people who land here have one or two things they have been bothered by for years.
—
Teeth that have yellowed and won't brighten with whitening strips
—
A chip from an old accident
—
A gap, a crowded front tooth, or worn edges that make a smile look older than you feel.
—
Sometimes it's cosmetic work from years ago that no longer matches or fits.
Cosmetic dentistry addresses all of it: color, shape, alignment, proportion, and symmetry, either one treatment at a time or as a coordinated plan. The right approach depends entirely on what you want to change and how your teeth are built underneath. That's what the consultation is for.
Treatments
Find the treatment that fits what you want to change.
If crowding or alignment is the main issue, Invisalign in Tustin, CA, is often the cosmetic starting point, and Dr. Marta will tell you if straightening first gives you a better, longer-lasting result.
Why Dr. Marta
Why patients choose Dr. Marta Rudat for cosmetic dentistry in Tustin.
Dr. Marta Rudat has practiced in Tustin, CA, for more than 15 years, long enough to see what separates cosmetic work that lasts from work that looks good for a year.
She is a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and is currently completing the AACD Accreditation process, a standard fewer than 500 dentists worldwide have ever reached.
What patients mention most is that she doesn't rush. She listens first, examines your bite and gum health before anything cosmetic, and will happily tell you that something simpler will serve you just as well, or that you're not quite ready for what you're asking about. That kind of honesty is rarer than it should be.
She's also your dentist for the long haul. The same person who designs your smile handles your cleanings and checkups and catches anything early. That continuity is part of what keeps cosmetic results looking right for years.

The visit
A smile consultation with Dr. Marta.
A smile consultation is a relaxed first visit where you talk through what you'd change, Dr. Marta examines your teeth, bite, and gums, and you leave with a clear picture of your options. No treatment is recommended unless it's genuinely right for you, and nothing is decided in a rush.
Here's how the visit usually goes.
01
You talk first
Dr. Marta wants to hear what's been bothering you, whether it's color, a chip, spacing, worn edges, or old work that no longer matches. She asks what you've tried before and what you're hoping for. Most cosmetic consultations skip this part. It's the part that decides whether your result fits the life you live.
02
She looks at the whole picture
Healthy comes before beautiful. Dr. Marta checks your bite, your gums, and any existing dental work because cosmetic treatment placed on an unstable foundation won't hold the way it should. This is also where she catches things you might not know about, so the plan is built on what's really going on.
03
Photos and imaging
Dr. Marta takes photographs and any imaging your case needs. Seeing your smile the way others see it, up close and from the side, makes the conversation concrete instead of guesswork, and it gives her what she needs to plan precisely.
04
You see what's realistic
We walk you through your options and show you results from patients whose starting point was close to yours, so you have a real reference for what's possible. For bigger cases, we may prepare a model of the proposed changes before anything permanent happens.
05
You get an honest recommendation
Sometimes that's whitening, and you're done. Sometimes it's veneers, and sometimes it's straightening a few teeth first for a better, longer-lasting result. Dr. Marta recommends the smallest change that gets you the smile you want, with a clear, itemized plan and financing options laid out before you commit to anything.

You leave knowing what you're working with, what it would involve, and what comes first. That's the whole point of the visit.
Smile gallery
See what's possible.
The best way to understand cosmetic dentistry is to see it on real people. Dr. Marta's smile gallery shows before-and-after results from her own patients, with the treatments noted, so you can find a starting point close to yours.

Investment
What does cosmetic dentistry cost?
The answer depends on what you want to change. Whitening sits in a very different place than a few veneers, and both are different again from a full smile makeover. A meaningful number only comes after Dr. Marta sees your teeth and understands your goal.

Scope-dependent, built from the treatments here
**These are general ranges for the area, not quotes. Your number depends on how many teeth are involved, the materials used, and the condition of the teeth underneath. Most cosmetic treatments are considered aesthetic, so they usually aren't covered by dental insurance, though financing can spread the cost out.
Frequently asked
Cosmetic dentistry questions,
answered.
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on how your teeth look, while restorative dentistry focuses on repairing function and health. In practice, they overlap. A veneer can improve a worn front tooth's appearance, and a crown that protects a cracked tooth should still look natural. Dr. Marta plans both together when a case calls for it.
That's the goal, not "dramatic." Dr. Marta designs to your face, your age, and the way your features move when you talk and laugh. Patients often say friends notice something looks better without being able to say what changed.
You don't have to know before you come in. Some patients need only whitening; others are better served by veneers or a coordinated makeover. Your consultation sorts it out, and Dr. Marta will recommend the smallest change that gets you the result you want.
Yes. Financing and payment options are available, and the team walks you through them alongside your itemized plan so the investment is clear before you decide.
