Background

Dr. Nora Lindqvist is the specialist at Aldessa who designs how your finished smile will look. As the clinic's prosthodontist and aesthetic lead, she oversees everything that is attached to an implant — crowns, bridges, veneers, and full-arch prosthetics — along with stand-alone cosmetic work such as smile design and porcelain restorations.

She earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery at the University of Iowa College of Dentistry, then completed a three-year prosthodontics residency at UCLA in Los Angeles, where she focused on complex aesthetic rehabilitation and digital smile design workflows. She is trained in both classic hand wax-up techniques and fully digital prosthetic planning with CAD/CAM systems.

At Aldessa, she starts from the finished smile and works back. Before any implant goes in or any tooth is shaped, she plans the final restoration with digital smile design — so the surgical team knows exactly where each implant must sit to reach the aesthetic goal. Many patients see her first, view a digital preview of their new smile, and begin treatment knowing precisely what the end result will look like. She is meticulous, deeply detail-minded, and the reason Aldessa restorations pass for natural teeth.
