Dr. Grace Jun, a dentist who has pretty much done it all. After graduating from the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry in 2013, she’s experienced nearly every side of dentistry, from nursing home and corporate dentistry to private practice, opening dental offices from the ground up, and even starting a dental assisting school. In January 2025, she sold her multi-million-dollar dental practice and decided it was time to simplify dentistry and go all in on the one thing she loves most: cosmetic dentistry. Today, Dr. Grace is the founder of HARA Cosmetic Dentistry, where the focus is simple: great cosmetic dentistry without the unnecessary removal of tooth structure. No huge staff to manage. No chasing overhead. No cookie-cutter overly white Hollywood smiles. No hygiene checks, no fillings, no dentures - no other dentistry except cosmetic dentistry. Just a clinician obsessed with getting better every single day and creating natural, lifelike smiles while preserving the teeth underneath. At HARA, dentistry is additive, conservative, and when appropriate reversible. The goal isn’t to make your teeth look “done.” It’s to make them look like you were simply born with an incredible smile. HARA is not your typical dental office. It’s cosmetic dentistry, and only cosmetic dentistry focused on tooth preservation and natural life like results.

Once healthy tooth structure is removed for cosmetic dental work, it does not grow back. That reality is at the center of Dr. Grace Jun’s approach to veneers, where she focuses on preserving as much of the natural tooth as possible. So what should patients understand before agreeing to have their teeth prepared for a new smile?
Dr. Jun explains the differences between composite veneers, porcelain veneers, and bonding, and why the skill and technique of the clinician can make such a significant difference. She also describes how she recreates the color variations, translucency, texture, and reflections found in natural teeth. She shares why some patients may benefit from braces before cosmetic treatment rather than removing healthy tooth structure to create space.
