About Art of Dentistry Institute
Cosmetic dentistry with Dr. Hawary draws adults for Invisalign, veneers, and crowns, and reviews often highlight natural-looking, long-lasting results.
Art of Dentistry Institute is a general dental practice that also offers Invisalign, traditional and clear braces, and clear aligners alongside its cosmetic work. Reviews frequently describe veneers, crowns, and full smile makeovers as natural-looking and long-lasting years later, and several Invisalign patients note steady, visible progress on their smiles. Dr. Hawary is described as skilled and gentle with complex cases, including TMJD and intricate bite issues, though a handful of reviewers describe feeling pushed toward veneers, crowns, or Invisalign they felt they didn't need. The office itself is often described as clean and calming, with marble floors and an underground garage some patients travel a distance to use.

Orthodontic care in reviews
Reviews describe Invisalign used for both cosmetic touch-ups and more complex cases involving overbite, overjet, crossbite, and crowding, with one long-distance patient flying back for years to finish treatment with the same doctor. A few reviews mention a dispute over cost comparisons between Invisalign and metal braces, and one describes feeling pressured into Invisalign despite already having straight teeth.

I had a filling done and had another great experience! Dr. Hawary made sure I felt comfortable throughout the entire procedure and did an amazing job. Lyn and Chetna were both so sweet, friendly, and attentive, which made the appointment feel relaxed and easy. Everyone at this office is always so welcoming and caring. I truly appreciate the entire team and highly recommend them!
The staff are great and the doctor is amazing . I did 7 upper front crowns, they look beautiful and Very comfortable.
Aimi is great. I’ve been coming here for several years now. Dr Hawari is a professional at what he does. I have gotten 3 onlays here so far
So refreshing finding a good dentist. It wasn't just a doctor's appointment, it was an experience. I truly can say I look forward to seeing my dentist now and that I would highly recommend this practice. I want to express my sincere gratitude to the outstanding front office team, Ms. Lynn Sandoval, and Chetna, for their warm hospitality and assistance during my initial visit. To my compassionate and talented hygienist, Dr. Aimi Suzuki, I am truly thankful for your patience and care. And, Dr. Hawary, a doctor who is so devoted to his profession that he has elevated it to an art. Nothing but good vibes here, the atmosphere is positive, and everyone offers, in my opinion, a truly world-class dental experience. Thank you. Your patient, Joshua Erian
I've been a patient of Dr. Hawary's for over 20 years, seeing him for both cosmetic and general dentistry — and I can't recommend him highly enough. He truly excels in both areas, but what sets him apart is the kind of genuine kindness and compassion that's rare in any profession, not just medicine. Twenty years ago, Dr. Hawary gave me a full smile makeover with veneers, and they look beautiful to this day. I regularly receive compliments on my smile, which says everything about the lasting quality of his work. I have TMJD, which makes me a more challenging patient, and he handled every appointment with patience and care. His dental assistants were equally wonderful — attentive, gentle, and reassuring throughout the entire process. The front office staff is just as impressive: professional, warm, and always a pleasure to deal with. Twenty years of exceptional care has only deepened my trust in Dr. Hawary and his entire team. From routine visits to complex cosmetic work, the standard of care has never wavered. If you are looking for a dentist who combines true expertise with genuine compassion, look no further.
