Cosmetic Services
Our cosmetic department headed by Dr. Walid Zalakett is commited to provide the best esthetical services. You’ll be happy to know that a small improvement in your smile can make a dazzling difference in the way you feel about your entire appearance.

Aesthetic dentistry is an evolving science that combines modern technology with classical artistry to create or restore proportionally balanced smiles.

Our skilled aesthetic dentists can beautify your teeth, keep them healthier for life, and help you to achieve your smile potential.

From your smile alone, people often measure your intelligence, personality, and social status! That’s why transforming chipped, discolored or poorly shaped teeth into a stunning, healthy, natural-looking smile can do wonders for the quality of your life. Porcelain veneers can make dramatic improvements in your smile.

Before & After

Our dentists offer advanced techniques in modern cosmetic dentistry to create smiles that inspire confidence. Our patients are discovering every day that a smile makeover can make them look younger and enjoy a sense of well being.

Whether you have old, cracked silver amalgam fillings or a tooth damaged by decay, we can restore it with a strong and natural porcelain inlay or Onlay. These restorations are custom made in our laboratory to give you a beautiful and natural appearance.

There is no need to suffer from social embarrassment because of stained or discolored teeth. Modern dentistry offers effective solutions that can restore a dazzling smile. Tooth Bleaching whitens stained or dull teeth to reveal a brighter smile.

We'd also be happy to talk with you about the other cosmetic services we offer!

Whitening Service ( Before & After )

Cosmetic Recontouring - a reshaping procedure that can repair chipped or worn teeth due to accidents or habitual grinding.

Crown Restorations - a restoration that covers or caps a tooth to improve its appearance and restore its function.

Cosmetic Resin Bonding - a procedure that can repair fractured teeth, or change the color of stained teeth.

Implantology - A revolutionary new treatment for missing teeth!
With implants, patients who have lost one tooth or any number of teeth due to periodontal disease or injury can once again enjoy all the health, comfort and aesthetic benefits associated with natural teeth. Our office utilizes eointegrated implants, the most widely accepted system of dental implants used today. The term "osseointegrated" means that the implant actually bonds with the bone, making the implant an integral part of the body.

Properly positioned and installed by Dr. Abboud, implants allow the patient to eat even difficult foods like corn on the cob, apples and carrots.

Dental Surgery - Procedures that correct gingival (gum) and osseous (bone) problems and disease which, if left untreated, could result in the loss of teeth, function, and aesthetics.

Implant Surgery- The placement of titanium fixtures (artificial roots) in the jaw (s), which will support the replacement of missing teeth.


Before	After

Periodontal Plastic Surgery- Procedures which correct excessively "gummy" or "toothy" smiles via aesthetic positioning and shaping of the gum line; harmonizes gums, teeth, lips and face.
Grafting- The replacement/supplementation of inadequate tissue (gum and/or bone) via surgical transfer of grafts; replaces tissue lost due to trauma, disease or atrophy and will strengthen bone, gum, teeth and implants.
Dentoalveolar Surgery- Procedures that treat diseased teeth and their supporting structures via extraction and/or surgical modification of teeth and/or bone.


Before	After

Excision and Tissue Studies- The removal of cysts, inflammatory tissue, soft or hard tissue growth, excess bone; microscopic (biopsy) evaluation performed when indicated.
Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that specializes in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of dental and facial irregularities.
If you have teeth that are in poor alignment you may face a functional or cosmetic problem.
Our Orthodontics specialist Dr. Paul Nassar will eliminate that problem for you. One of the first things people notice about you when they see you is your smile and how your teeth look. You don’t have to be a dentist to see poorly positioned crooked teeth.

Prosthodontics is the specialty of dentistry that deals with mouth reconstruction. This may be in the form of crowns, bridges, dentures, implants and cosmetic reconstruction of the teeth (bonding and laminates, for example) Dr. Dora Chaaban is our prosthodontist; she is an expert in occlusion ("the bite") and is trained to undertake the restoration of teeth, and the replacement of missing teeth.
Endodontic Therapy - Natural teeth are meant to last a lifetime. Even if one of your teeth becomes injured or diseased, it can often be saved through a dental procedure known as endodontic therapy.
Years ago, when the interior pulp of a tooth became damaged or diseased, the only solution was to extract the tooth. Now, it is often possible to save such teeth through endodontic treatment, more commonly known as root canal therapy. With proper care, teeth that have been saved through root canal therapy can last as long as your remaining natural teeth, as long as the tooth is properly restored afterwards by our endodontic specialist Dr Mark Kaloustain

Other Technologies Include:
*Computerized simulation: See how your smile might look before any treatment is performed. You may ask your dentist for a complimentary smile analysis.
*Virtual reality glasses and CD’s:Watch a movie or listen to music and relax while your treatment is being performed.

Halemeter (Bad Breath Treatment):
Transitory bad breath is caused by foods like garlic and onions. And generally only lasts from 24 to 72 hours. Chronic bad breath does not improve over time. The "odor" of chronic bad breath results when bacteria in the mouth and on the tongue cause the formation of volatile sulfur compounds (VSC's). This may be an ongoing problem requiring professional breath management. In some instances, chronic bad breath is actually caused by underlying medical conditions like diabetes, sinusitis or emphysema.

And in those rare situations, treating the disease could possibly eliminate the cause of the bad breath. Fortunately, your dental professional can help diagnose the various types and causes of bad breath.
Products that only Mask bad breath are bad news:
Most over –the-counter products do not eliminate bad breath .They can only hide it temporarily .An independent study of fifteen mouthwash products showed that while they all masked bad breath after ten minutes , only a few were still working after a few hours .

And when it comes to something as important as your breath , you shouldn't rely on something that can let you down at any moment .Also, most mouthwash products contain alcohol that dries soft oral tissue and ultimately leads to even faster formation of odor –causing bacterial. Our office offers the halemeter service to solve your bad breath problems.
