A dentist and patient reviewing a digital smile plan on a screen together

Finesse Dental · Rancho Cucamonga

Smile makeover in Rancho Cucamonga

Several concerns,
planned as one.

When more than one thing bothers you, treating them separately rarely gives a coherent result. A smile makeover looks at color, shape, alignment and the gum line together, then sequences the work so nothing gets undone later.

  • Designed around your face
  • Sequenced so nothing is wasted

Not sure where to start? That is the point of the consultation — you do not need a plan yet.

Where to begin

You don’t need to know
what you want yet.

Most people arrive able to name what bothers them but not what to do about it — and that is the right way round. Our job is to work out which combination gets you there, in what order, and what each stage costs. Sequence matters more than people expect: whitening before bonding, alignment before veneers, gum work before the final shapes are set. Get the order wrong and you pay twice.

My family and I absolutely love this office! The service is wonderful, and the staff is always so friendly and welcoming. I’ve never felt as comfortable going to the dentist as I do here. They truly take the time to get to know you and make sure you feel comfortable throughout your visit, especially when you need extensive or time-consuming work, like I did. I really appreciate their patience, care, and attention to detail. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for a dentist who genuinely cares about their patients!

I really owe this review to Dr Moqattash and his staff. I usually do not have time to write reviews, but this time I needed to take the time to write it. The care itself is top‑notch, but what really sets them apart is the atmosphere they create. They explain everything clearly, make sure you’re comfortable, and somehow turn something most people dread into a positive experience. We had such a wonderful experience. The entire team (Lorena, Simone and I can't recall the name of the other two beautiful ladies helping Dr Moqattash, so sorry) is incredibly friendly, patient, and caring. They made my children (ages 11, 12 &15) feel completely comfortable from the moment we walked in. The staff went above and beyond to explain everything and make the visit fun and stress-free. It’s clear they truly care about their young patients. Highly recommend to any parent looking for an exceptional pediatric dental experience. Dr Moqattash is very personal and remembered who I was from my last visit. He is thoughtful and considerate as to any pain or discomfort me or my kids might feel. My children love him and he is the only dentist they want to keep going. If you’re looking for a dental office where you feel cared for, respected, and truly welcomed, this is the place. I can’t recommend them enough.

I always have the best treatment here. The hygienist and doctor are great and all the staff as well!

Let’s plan your smile together.

Tell us what you’d like to change. Our team can check consultation availability and explain how a plan comes together.

What gets considered

The pieces that
make up a plan.

A makeover is not a single treatment. It is a combination chosen for your teeth, and rarely uses all of these.

ColorWhitening is usually first, because everything else gets matched to the shade you finish with.
AlignmentStraightening first often reduces how much restorative work you need afterwards — sometimes dramatically.
Shape and proportionVeneers or bonding to adjust width, length and edges so teeth suit your lip line and each other.
The gum lineAn uneven or low gum line — what people often call a gummy smile — can make teeth look short. Contouring is sometimes part of the design.
Existing dental workOld crowns and fillings that no longer match are often the reason a smile looks patchy.
How it sits in your faceMidline, lip line and how much tooth shows when you talk. This is what separates a plan from a shade choice.

Worried it is more than you need? Reasonable. Plenty of plans end up smaller than people expect once we identify the one or two changes doing most of the work. We will point that out rather than quoting the maximum.

Options & suitability

Planned together,
done in stages.

A makeover does not mean everything happens at once, or that you commit to all of it up front. Some people do want a complete transformation. More often, two changes do most of the work.

Whether it is two teeth or full mouth cosmetic dentistry, the planning works the same way. What matters is that the plan is made as a whole, so each stage accounts for the ones after it. The work itself can be staged over months, and many people do exactly that — starting with the part that bothers them most and deciding on the rest later.

We will also tell you where the honest limits are. Gum health, bite problems and untreated decay come first; cosmetic work placed over them does not last. And if part of what you are asking for would not noticeably improve the result, you will hear that.

All cosmetic options

How planning works here

  • Health and bite issues are addressed before cosmetic work begins.
  • You see the plan and the cost before agreeing to any stage.
  • Treatment can be staged — you decide the pace.
  • A digital projection shows the intended design, not a promise of the final result.
  • Any irreversible step is identified as such before it happens.

What to expect

Planning first.
Treatment at your pace.

  1. Consultation

    You tell us what bothers you. We examine your teeth, gums and bite, take a digital scan, and ask what you want your smile to do for you.

  2. The design and the sequence

    We work out which combination gets you there and in what order, and show you the proposal. You get the cost for each stage in writing.

  3. Your decision, in your time

    You take the plan away. Nobody chases you. Plenty of people start with one stage and decide on the rest months later.

  4. Treatment, stage by stage

    Each stage is carried out and reviewed before the next begins. Same dentist throughout, so nothing gets lost between people.

Book a Smile Consultation

Before you book

Makeover questions,
answered properly.

How much does a smile makeover cost?

There is no single answer, because no two plans contain the same work. A plan built on whitening and two bonded teeth and one built on ten veneers are entirely different. You get a written cost for each stage before agreeing to anything — call (909) 852-6787 to start that conversation.

Do I have to do everything at once?

No. The planning is done as a whole so the stages fit together, but the treatment can be spread out. Many people begin with whatever bothers them most and decide about the rest later.

How long does it take?

It depends entirely on what is in your plan. Whitening and bonding can move quickly; anything involving alignment runs to months rather than weeks. You will get a realistic timeline with the written plan, not before.

Will it look obviously done?

That is down to planning. Proportion, shade and how the teeth sit against your lip line and face are what make the difference. A plan built around your features reads as your smile; one built around a shade guide is what people mean by obvious.

Is any of it reversible?

Some of it. Whitening and bonding are conservative. Veneers and crowns involve permanently reshaping the tooth, and gum contouring removes tissue. We identify every irreversible step in the plan before it happens, so you are never surprised by one.

Does insurance cover a smile makeover?

Cosmetic treatment is elective and most plans exclude it. Occasionally a component has a functional purpose that may be covered — rebuilding a broken tooth, for instance. We will tell you which parts might qualify rather than guessing either way.

Can I see what it will look like first?

We use digital scanning to show the proposed design on screen, and that is genuinely useful for the conversation. It is a design projection, though, not a photograph of your future teeth — we would rather set that expectation properly than oversell it.

What if I only need one thing after all?

Then we will tell you. It happens reasonably often — one or two changes can do most of the work, and recommending more than that would not be honest.

Cost & payment

What does
a makeover cost?

Entirely dependent on what your plan contains, which is why we will not put a figure on this page. What you will get is a written cost per stage, so you can see where the money goes and decide what to do and when.

Cosmetic treatment is elective, so most dental plans do not cover it. We will tell you which parts of a plan might qualify rather than assuming either way, and CareCredit is available if you would rather spread the cost.

Payment & CareCredit information

How costs are handled

  • A written cost for each stage, before that stage begins.
  • Staged treatment so you are not committing to everything at once.
  • We will flag where a cheaper option gets a similar result.
  • CareCredit available for larger plans.

Everyone is amazing and my husband and I had a great experience with the dentist Alex and his staff. Simone did a fantastic deep cleaning and was very gentle and thorough. The office is clean, modern with the newest technology and we highly recommend when looking for a dentist. I am looking forward to using their med spa.

I have been coming here the past two years. First, Lorena is an amazing liaison with your insurance and will do all she can to help you with receiving services. Every single staff member of this establishment is KIND and PATIENT. I love that each of their personalities are all positive and uplifting. Which brings me to Simone, the dental hygienist who is knowledgable, thorough in her work, and compassionate. My mom enjoys going to Simone, which says a lot for someone who in the past dreaded going to get a cleaning. Lastly, Dr. Alex is not a pushy salesman type of dentist. He will give you his recommendations and rationale. Truly, he is a nice man who has provided me, my mother and my 2 year old will excellent care. He has taken the time and initiative to provide up to date, nontoxic techniques in his dental office. This office has been a blessing for my family and I.

I had gone to another dentist close by and they quoted me a pretty high price, 8400.00 out of pocket, I decided to get a second opinion and came to Finesse dental in Rancho, the office manager I spoke to, her name is Lorena, she is very professional and very friendly, gave me great advice insurance wise, I ended up paying less than half of what the other dentist was going to charge, what I noticed right away is they have the latest in technology as far as equipment and dental software, very impressive, Dr. Moqattash is very professional, friendly and patient with his patients, also he is very good at what he does, his staff give out a great vibe, I am super happy that I decided to come here, the dental hygienist was also very professional and friendly and gave me lots of great advice on how to care for my teeth. I give this office a 10 out of 10.

I don't even know what to say. As someone that was traumatized as a child from the dentist. When I found out my child(3yr) had a cavity I was highly anxious. After doing hours of research on the fillings it left me even more anxious knowing my kid had to fast be sedated and injected for a cavity. When loosing hope I found a post on laser fillings for cavities, which is non invasive. I quickly came On yelp to find my nearest option and I came across this dentistry. If we were informed that such technology exists less children would be traumatized. The staff here is beyond amazing and helpful. My kid is 3 years old and did amazing. Thanks to this option. We were done unless then an hour and ready to go eat after this. 100/10 recommend. They take all insurances I have medical and only had to pay a small fee out of pocket

We have finally found our dental family! Dr. Alex and his staff are phenomenal! They are all very patient, thorough and professional. Dr. removed a huge filling and did my crown and I am very pleased with the results. Simone, the dental hygienist is absolutely amazing! For anyone who is seeking the human attributes described above, a staff who takes patient concerns and needs seriously and a clean, technologically advanced environment, I would recommend Finesse Dental.

I would like to take a minute to thank Dr. Alexander for the exceptional work and customer service he provided my dear Mom. She is 82 years old and has never had any dental work done in her life. She has beautiful teeth. But, she recently found a cracked tooth that desperately needed attention. So, he found that she actually needed two root canals on two of her wisdom teeth which went very smoothly. I had hoped that it would not be painful for her, but she did wonderful throughout the entire procedure. Alexander was very professional, knowledgeable, confident, gentle, and kind! He was very accomodating to Mom--I was very pleased with him. The entire staff is quite cohesive with how they work together as a team. Lorena was exceptional--very nice and personable and the other two assistants were equally impressive. The office is classy and serene and peaceful with its fountain in the center of all the work stations. The music was very relaxing. Over all, it was a very nice and pleasant experience while waiting for my dear Mom. :)

I love my hygienist Simone ! She is very friendly and informative with any questions you have. She provides useful tips in bettering my hygiene practices and is very attentive in making sure I get a good clean on my checkups. She constantly makes sure that you are doing good throughout the process and make your experience comforting. Simone truly cares about her patients and I recommend scheduling an appointment with her.
