In His Own Words
What reporters actually call him to say.
Across two decades of coverage the same three subjects come back: how much tooth structure a veneer should cost you, why a smile that looks untouched has to be designed that way on purpose, and what to do about work that already looks done. Every quote below is published, verbatim, and linked to its source.

“Half of my cases are now revisions.”
Said to The Hollywood Reporter as natural tones overtook the era of large, too-white veneers. Redo work is not a sideline of this practice, it is half of it. The Hollywood ReporterDesign philosophy
“I purposefully put in imperfections that capture the personality of a face.”
The design principle behind every case. A smile that reads as real carries the small asymmetries a real one has. The Hollywood ReporterDesign philosophy

Told to The Hollywood Reporter. The shift that produced a generation of patients now seeking to have obvious work undone. The Hollywood ReporterRedo work
“It was kind of like shoulder pads. A bad fashion choice.”
On the oversized, impossibly white veneers of the late eighties and early nineties, told to Allure. Trend-driven smiles date the way clothing does. AllureExpert opinion
“Mewing may be getting a lot of views on TikTok, but there is no legitimate evidence that suggests mewing changes the facial shape in any long-term way.”
