What is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry enhances the appearance of your smile through advanced aesthetic procedures, including porcelain veneers, whitening, and smile design.

Porcelain Veneers

What are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin, high-strength ceramic restorations bonded to the front surface of teeth to enhance shape, color, alignment, and overall smile aesthetics. They are a cornerstone of modern smile makeover treatments, delivering precise, high-end cosmetic results with long-term durability.
At Al Bahri Dental & Orthodontic Center, veneers are designed using a fully digital workflow and facially driven smile design principles—ensuring harmony with facial proportions, lip dynamics, and occlusion.

Process of porcelain veneers is as follows,

Comprehensive examination.
Preliminary dental scans to fabricate the initial smile design, that would be used in the temporary phase.
Preparation and scans of the teeth that would receive the porcelain veneers.
Insertion of the porcelain veneers.
Occlusal appliance fabrication.

All porcelain veneer cases are done or supervised by our double US and Canadian Board-Certified Prosthodontist, Dr. Rami Albahri who happens to be a Harvard and NYU Graduate.

What is a Smile Makeover?

A smile makeover is a comprehensive, customized treatment plan that combines multiple cosmetic and restorative procedures to achieve an ideal smile. This may include:

Each case is uniquely engineered based on facial aesthetics, phonetics, and functional occlusion.
