Angie graduated in 1999 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Dental Hygiene from Loma Linda University in Southern California. She decided to move to the beach in 2008 to enjoy the cooler weather and change of scenery. Weekends are filled with biking along the beach, hiking in the local mountains and trying all cuisines Southern California has to offer. Traveling to different countries while planning for her next adventure has always been her top priority. Coming from a family of dentists and observing the care provided to patients made her more interested in taking on the role of a health care professional. Her ultimate goal is to keep patients educated and to provide a gentle yet thorough cleaning in order to achieve optimal health.

Dr. Dimple Desai and her team at Luminous Smiles understands the importance of having a beautiful, confident smile. She strives to help her patients build their self-confidence with procedures that can deliver amazing results. Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you, so it makes sense you would want it to be bright, white, and healthy.

A cosmetic dental procedure can help improve self-esteem and enhance social interactions.
Dr. Desai has extensive experience providing dental veneer treatments and can help you achieve the smile you have always envisioned for yourself. Gum contouring will also help create the perfect shape for your smile.
The benefits of porcelain veneers are : Stain Resistant, Durable, Quick Placement, and Improved Self Confidence. Youve probably heard of several celebrities and well-known public figures who have opted for this treatment. As a relatively conservative cosmetic procedure, veneers continue to be one of the most popular procedures performed by Luminous Smiles.
Luminous Smilesis an Invisalign Preferred Provider.Because they are more discreet than traditional braces, Invisalign is a great option for adults. Additionally, because the trays are removed while eating, there is no need to adjust your diet or to avoid foods that would otherwise damage metal braces.
Dental bonding is a procedure in which a tooth-colored resin material (a durable plastic material) is applied and hardened with a special light, which ultimately bonds the material to the tooth to restore or improve a persons smile.
Dental bonding is among the easiest and least expensive of cosmetic dental procedures. Unlike veneers and crowns, which are customized tooth coverings that must be manufactured in a lab, bonding usually can be done in one office visit unless several teeth are involved.
