After two of Dr. Ali Saad’s patients were crowned Miss Michigan USA, with one moving on to win Miss USA, the pageant organization took notice of his work. They asked Dr. Saad to become their official dentist. His secret to success? He approaches aesthetic dentistry as an art. With his artistic eye, he sees not just a smile alone, but how that smile relates to skin tone, facial features, and the contestant’s overall look. Dr. Saad perfects or creates a smile that looks like it always should have for each contestant!

Dr. Saad feels strongly about the first impression a smile can make -- “It’s where judges see the soul” of the contestant. Very often, contestants have all the assets they need to win the pageant but are only missing the winning smile. Dr. Saad approaches each smile individually, doing just as much or as little as each contestant needs, while preserving that unique, soul-filled quality of each person’s beautiful smile.

Because pageant contestants are always “on,” Dr. Saad is committed to achieving natural smiles that can withstand all the lights, cameras and scrutiny involved in pageant judging. “Judges can tell” if the work isn’t natural – that will hurt the contestant. He also educates patients about why things look the way they do and how to preserve a healthy beautiful smile. Contestants gain priceless appreciation for the importance of their smile, from both a health and a beauty perspective. This gives them unbeatable confidence when they are about to compete for the titles of Miss USA & Miss Teen USA title!

Dr. Saad is recognized in his industry as a pioneer in aesthetic dentistry. At only 36 years old, he is considered the “Go-to Guru” of smile perfection. He is regularly flown to New York City where he teaches the latest aesthetic treatment options to Park Avenue’s most recognized dentists.

He trained with celebrity makeover dentist Dr. Bill Dorfman years ago and is now developing his own level of celebrity status, thanks to his work. Most of his work is done in his office in Birmingham, Michigan, where he shares a philosophy with partners Dr. David Vanker and Dr. Mohamed Saad (his brother). These men are passionate about keeping teeth healthy and beautiful, recognizing that a smile’s first impression will last.
