Are dental implants painful?

How long do porcelain veneers last?

High-quality porcelain veneers such as Emax Ceramic can last 10-20 years with proper care. At Dr. Smile by Dr. Carine, we use premium materials to ensure long-lasting, natural-looking results.

What is a Hollywood Smile makeover?

A Hollywood Smile makeover is a comprehensive cosmetic dentistry treatment combining porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, and smile design to create a flawless, bright smile. Dr. Carine specializes in personalized smile transformations that typically involve 2-3 visits over 1-2 weeks.

What are clear aligners and how do they work?

Clear aligners are custom-made, transparent orthodontic trays that gradually straighten teeth without visible metal braces. Each set is worn for approximately two weeks before switching. They are removable, comfortable, and virtually invisible. Dr. Smile by Dr. Carine provides personalized clear aligner treatment plans with digital simulation.

Where is Dr. Smile by Dr. Carine located?

What is the difference between veneers and crowns?

Veneers are ultra-thin porcelain or composite shells bonded to the front surface of teeth for cosmetic improvement. Crowns cover the entire tooth and are used for significantly damaged or weakened teeth. Dr. Carine evaluates each case individually to recommend the best option.

Why choose Lebanon for dental tourism?

Lebanon offers world-class dental care at 40-70% lower costs than Western Europe and North America. Dr. Smile by Dr. Carine provides multilingual service (English, Arabic, French), uses the same premium materials as top international clinics, and is located only 30 minutes from Beirut airport. The clinic offers condensed treatment schedules designed for visiting patients.

How do I maintain my porcelain veneers?

Porcelain veneers require the same care as natural teeth: brush twice daily with non-abrasive toothpaste, floss daily, and visit your dentist every 6 months for professional cleaning. Avoid biting hard objects like ice or nail-biting. With proper care, Emax porcelain veneers at Dr. Smile by Dr. Carine last 10-20 years.

What is gummy smile surgery?

Gummy smile surgery (crown lengthening or gingivectomy) reduces excess gum tissue to reveal more tooth structure, creating a balanced, aesthetically pleasing smile. Dr. Carine uses minimally invasive laser and surgical techniques for comfortable recovery with results visible immediately.
