BEYOND AESTHETICS: RESTORING CONFIDENCE AND NATURAL SMILES
OUR WHY
At Beverly Hills Dental Labs, dental aesthetics is more than creating teeth. It’s about restoring shapes, colors, and individual traits that once defined a person’s identity, helping patients regain their integrity and self-esteem.
Each restoration considers the whole individual—taking into account skin tone, age, personality, and even the unique characteristics of hair and expression. This comprehensive, patient-centered approach ensures that every smile reflects not only beauty but also the unique spirit of the person behind it.
Guided by the Oral Design Foundation’s commitment to excellence, we bring artistry and precision to our work, allowing patients around the world to feel not only more confident but genuinely better. With every restoration, we strive to improve lives, focusing on holistic cosmetic dentistry that enhances both health and happiness.
Located in the heart of Beverly Hills, our facility features a full-service dental laboratory, an advanced photography studio, and a state-of-the-art teaching center. Here, clinicians and dental professionals learn the latest techniques, including Digital Smile Design and diagnostic wax-ups, to achieve exceptional results for their patients.
Our mission is to not only restore smiles but to enhance lives. By collaborating closely with dentists and their patients, we deliver restorations that bring confidence, balance, and natural beauty back to the forefront. From our expert technicians to our dedicated customer service team, Beverly Hills Dental Labs is committed to advancing the art and science of smiles.

PASCAL MAGNE, DMD, MSC, PHD
Director of Education at Beverly Hills Dental Labs
Dr. Pascal Magne (pronounced mahn-ya) recently joined Beverly Hills Dental Lab as Director of its Center for Education and Research in Biomimetic Restorative Dentistry (CER BRD), after a long and distinguished career in dental academia and research.
Upon graduating from the University of Geneva, Switzerland, in 1989 with a Med Dent degree,he was offered a position as a lecturer at the dental school, while practicing and receiving further training in fixed prosthodontics and other technical skills. At the same time, he pursued two doctorates, one awarded in 1992 (DMD) and the other in 2002 (Ph.D.), the latter in conjunction with co-authoring the book Bonded Porcelain Restorations in the Anterior Dentition—A Biomimetic Approach, with his mentor, Professor Urs Belser, which has been translated into 12 languages. « The biomimetic principle refers to using technology and dental materials to preserve and replicate the structure and function of teeth, » he explained. He would add to his research on dental innovations at the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry in 1997-1999, before returning to Geneva. His discoveries have been widely published, resulting in many awards.Before his graduation from dental school, Pascal had been captivated by the beautiful photos of the lifelike porcelain restorations created by his older brother, Michel, who was the in-house technician for a dentist.
In 1991, Pascal started working with Claude Sieber using a new dental porcelain developed with Vita. It was a turning point. « For the first time I could see the porcelain of a master inside of the mouth of my own patients, » he said. Pascal was recruited as a full-time tenured faculty of the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry at the University of Southern California School in 2004, as the Don and Sybil Harrington Professor of Esthetic dentistry.During his tenure at Ostrow, Dr. Magne spearheaded a multitude of curricular innovations in the areas of biomimetics, minimally invasive dentistry, and bonding techniques.

As the preclinical director (2012-2020) of the Dental Morphology, Function and Esthetics module at Ostrow, Dr. Magne has also developed an innovative approach to teaching dental anatomy and morphology. In 2021, Dr. Magne published the second edition of his bestselling book entitled Biomimetic Restorative Dentistry.
