Cosmetic work that starts with listening
Elise grew up above her mother's small framing shop, and spent her teenage summers learning how a good frame disappears around a picture. Dentistry, when she found it, felt like the same job: careful proportion, honest materials, and a finished piece that points attention at the person rather than the work.
Patients come to her for veneers and smile makeovers that do not look done. She is known for the preview. Before any tooth is touched, you see the shape, the length and the edge on your own smile, and you can ask for changes until it feels like yours. She would rather talk someone into a simpler plan than out of a bigger one.
Her first appointments run long on purpose. She photographs, measures and asks what you notice when you look in the mirror, then explains what is possible in plain words, including what she would leave alone. From the preview to the final polish she is the dentist in the room, so nothing gets lost between people.
Outside the studio she paints in watercolour, badly and happily, walks the river path most mornings, and keeps a long list of Ashbury bakeries she has not tried yet.

How I Work
You see it before we start
I never ask you to imagine a result. You see a preview on your own teeth first, and we adjust it together until it is something you would be glad to wear.
Take away as little as possible
Healthy enamel does not grow back. If bonding or whitening gets you most of the way there, I will say so, even when veneers were the plan you walked in with.
Stay with you to the end
The dentist who designs your smile is the one who places it. You will not meet a new face halfway through, and questions between visits come straight to me.
Training and Memberships
Cosmetic dentistry keeps moving, so part of every month goes to learning, most of it in porcelain, adhesion and smile design. The list below is the shape of that training.

What Dr. Marchetti Focuses On
Most of her week is spent on three kinds of work. Each page explains how it runs at Marigold, step by step.
Hand-layered porcelain shells that reshape worn, chipped or uneven front teeth into a smile that still reads as yours.
Learn More Smile MakeoverA planned combination of treatments, sequenced into one calm journey toward the smile you actually picture.
Learn More Cosmetic BondingSculpted tooth-coloured resin that closes small gaps, softens chips and evens edges, often in a single sitting.
Learn MoreI spent a year afraid veneers would look like piano keys. Dr. Marchetti showed me the shape first, kept it subtle, and now it just looks like my own smile on a very good day.
