The Bowtie Dentist
When you meet Dr. Tyler Hales, the first thing you notice isn’t just his impeccably tailored suit or the signature bowtie that’s become his trademark – it’s his friendly smile, one that radiates the confidence he so effortlessly imparts to his patients. Known in elite circles as “Hollywood’s Bowtie Dentist,” Dr. Hales has become the go-to cosmetic dentist for Hollywood’s A-listers, influencers, and professionals seeking transformational smile makeovers. But beyond the flawless veneers and star-studded client list lies a family man driven by passion, purpose, and a deep belief in the power of a smile and that it can change lives.
The Man Behind the Bowtie
Born in Burbank and raised in Orange County, Dr. Hales comes from a lineage of medical professionals. His father and grandfather, both esteemed anesthesiologists and proud USC graduates, inspired his early interest in healthcare. Yet, it wasn’t until Dr. Hales discovered dentistry that he found his calling, a perfect blend of artistry, science, and the ability to profoundly impact others.
Dr. Hales’ journey from a budding medical enthusiast to a renowned cosmetic dentist was anything but ordinary. After graduating from USC’s prestigious dental program, he honed his craft under the guidance of industry icons like Dr. Pascal Magne, a master in adhesive and aesthetic dentistry. His time in Colorado Springs allowed him to expand a high-profile practice before returning to his Orange County roots, where he partnered with Dr. Parker to establish Hales Parker Dentistry, now Facer Hales Parker Dentistry. This partnership set the stage for what would later evolve into Hales Aesthetic – which today is a premier destination for cutting-edge cosmetic dentistry and the realization of Dr. Hales’s visionary approach.
A Smile Worth a Thousand Words
Ask Dr. Hales what drives him, and he’ll tell you it’s not just about the art of creating beautiful smiles…it’s about the transformation those smiles spark. “A smile is more than just teeth,” he says. “It’s a reflection of confidence, a way to connect, and a tool to brighten someone’s day. It can change the way you feel about yourself and how others see you.”
This philosophy is at the core of Hales Aesthetic. Every patient’s journey begins with a “Smile Test Drive,” an immersive consultation where they can visualize their new smile before any work begins. This innovative approach, combined with Dr. Hales’ meticulous attention to detail – his signature hallmark – ensures that each smile makeover is perfectly tailored to the individual. “I don’t believe in cookie-cutter solutions,” he explains. “Your smile should enhance your natural beauty and reflect who you are.”
His dedication to this personalized, natural-looking approach has made him a trusted name among Hollywood’s elite, including stars like Jennifer Pedranti, Ryan Boyajian, Jax Taylor, Slade Smiley, Madison LeCroy, Tim Storey and Faye Resnick. Whether preparing an actor for their next move in their career or helping an influencer be camera-ready, Dr. Hales understands that a confident smile is a celebrity’s most powerful accessory.
Harmony in Every Detail
Central to Dr. Hales’s success is his collaboration with Daniel Yang, an exclusive ceramist Hales works with and the artistic partner behind Harmony Veneers. Launched in 2021 by Dr. Hales, these veneers represent the pinnacle of craftsmanship and innovation, offering patients a seamless blend of functionality and aesthetics.
“Harmony Veneers are about achieving balance,” Dr. Hales explains. “They’re designed to look natural while enhancing the unique qualities of each unique smile.”
Using advanced digital technology and meticulous craftsmanship, Dr. Hales and Yang have set a new standard in cosmetic dentistry. Their partnership exemplifies the fusion of artistry and science, ensuring every patient leaves the chair with not just a better smile, but a renewed sense of self.
The Bowtie Brand
Beyond his work in dentistry, Dr. Hales has carved out a niche as a thought leader in personal branding. His distinctive bowtie – a nod to his fashion-forward yet approachable style – has become a symbol of his philosophy: bold, confident, happy and unapologetically authentic.
“The bowtie started as a personal touch, but it’s become a part of my identity,” he says with a smile. “It’s a reminder to always bring my best self to the table.”
This ethos extends to his team at Hales Aesthetic, where every employee is handpicked to deliver a first-class experience. From the moment patients walk through the door, they’re greeted with warmth, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. “Creating a smile is a team effort,” Dr. Hales notes. “Every member of my team plays a role in that transformation.”

It’s how you show them who you are and what you stand for.”

Newport Beach Awaits
As Dr. Hales looks to the future, he’s preparing to expand his reach with a beautiful new private practice in Newport Beach, California set to open in March 2025. This state-of-the-art facility will be a reflection of his vision: a space where artistry, technology, and patient-centered care come together to create life-changing results. “This is more than a new location,” he shares. “It’s the next chapter in my journey to make world-class cosmetic dentistry accessible to even more people.”
The Family Man
Amid his professional achievements, Dr. Hales remains grounded by his faith and family. A devoted husband and father of four, he cherishes the time he spends with his wife and children, whether surfing the waves, skiing the slopes, working out together or simply enjoying a quiet moment on the beach. “Family is everything to me,” he says. “They’re my greatest joy and my constant inspiration.”
This deep sense of purpose infuses every aspect of Dr. Hales’s life, from his work to his philanthropic endeavors. Through initiatives like “Smiles for Life,” he’s committed to giving back, using his talents to bring hope and healing to those in need. “At the end of the day, it’s about making a difference,” he says. “Whether it’s through a smile, a kind word, or a helping hand, we all have the power to impact others.”
