Dental Clinic Lebanon Beirut

Eliane Icho — International Patient Coordinator.

Eliane has been the senior international patient coordinator at Dental Clinic Lebanon since 2005 — more than twenty years dedicated to one mission: making sure every international patient who chooses Lebanon for their dental care experiences a journey worthy of the clinical outcomes they receive.

An MBA in Business Administration combined with two decades of hands-on coordination at the same medical center gives Eliane a rare combination of executive operational rigour and genuine personal warmth. Fluent in Arabic, English and French, she is the dedicated point of contact for patients arriving from across the Gulf, Europe, Africa and the Americas to receive treatment at our Marc 1 Sin El Fil clinic and our CMC Dental Division in Hamra Clemenceau — the Johns Hopkins International affiliated, JCI accredited hospital where Dr. Habib Zarifeh serves as Head of Oral Surgery.

What Eliane personally coordinates for every international patient:

— Pre-travel virtual photo-based consultation scheduling with Dr. Habib Zarifeh and the relevant clinical specialist.

— Written treatment plan confirmation in English, Arabic or French, agreed and signed before travel.

— Flight planning advice and timing recommendations aligned with treatment day schedules.

— Hotel arrangements at our preferred-partner accommodations across Beirut, at negotiated medical-tourism rates.

— Airport meet-and-greet at Beirut-Rafic Hariri International Airport (BEY) and daily transport between hotel, Marc 1 and CMC locations throughout the treatment program.

— Restaurant recommendations and cultural tourism programs through vetted partner agencies, scheduled around treatment-day requirements.

— Multilingual liaison during consultations, surgical procedures and post-treatment reviews where translation support is helpful.

— Post-treatment documentation prepared in English for private insurance claim-back submission to international insurers in your home country.

— Continuity-of-care follow-up by WhatsApp and email for the first 30 days after returning home, with direct escalation to the clinical team when needed.

Eliane works alongside our Administrative Manager Nada Khoury (also with the center since 2005), our CMC Patient Coordinator Rayane Ghalayini, and our Plastic Surgery Centre Manager and main CMC Patient Coordinator Chantale Cherfane — ensuring that every patient arriving at Dental Clinic Lebanon experiences consistent, attentive care across both clinical locations.

Chantale Cherfane — Plastic Surgery Centre Manager and Main CMC Patient Coordinator

Chantale leads two interconnected pillars of Dental Clinic Lebanon by Smile Infinity Medical Center — the keystone bridge role that enables our cross-specialty combined-treatment programmes for international medical-tourism patients.

ROLE 1 — PLASTIC SURGERY CENTRE MANAGER (MARC 1):

At our Plastic Surgery Centre, integrated within the Marc 1 clinical location, Chantale oversees the complete operational and patient-facing flow of our cosmetic and aesthetic surgery practice. She coordinates with Dr. Souheil Ghaya and the plastic surgery clinical team, manages pre-operative consultation scheduling, oversees post-operative follow-up sequencing, and ensures that every patient receives the comprehensive support that aesthetic surgical procedures require.

ROLE 2 — MAIN PATIENT COORDINATOR AT CMC HOSPITAL HAMRA:

At our CMC Dental Division within Clemenceau Medical Center — the Johns Hopkins International affiliated, JCI accredited hospital where Dr. Habib Zarifeh serves as Head of Oral Surgery — Chantale is the central point of contact for all CMC-based patients, coordinating across dental, oral surgical, plastic surgery and broader multi-specialty cases at the hospital location.

THE COMBINED-TREATMENT PATIENT ARCHETYPE:

Chantale's cross-specialty role enables a uniquely high-value medical-tourism proposition: patients combining cosmetic dentistry with facial aesthetic surgery in a single coordinated visit. Hollywood Smile with rhinoplasty. Dental implants paired with facial aesthetic refinement. Full-mouth rehabilitation paired with comprehensive cosmetic surgery work. Patients planning these combined treatment journeys work directly with Chantale to design their integrated programme.

With the practice since 2019 and fluent in English, French and Arabic, Chantale brings a rare cross-specialty perspective — she understands both the aesthetic-surgery patient mindset and the hospital-grade clinical environment, and bridges the two seamlessly across our two-location practice.

Nada Khoury — Administrative Manager

Nada leads the complete administrative engine of Dental Clinic Lebanon by Smile Infinity Medical Center. With our practice since 2005 — over two decades of operational leadership at the same medical center — she oversees admin, operations, human resources, finance and full clinic logistics under one consolidated leadership role.

OPERATIONAL SCOPE:

— Daily operations across both clinical locations: our Marc 1 center in Sin El Fil and our CMC Dental Division at Clemenceau Medical Center Hamra.

— Human resources oversight for the multilingual clinical and administrative team.

— Financial controls, vendor and supplier coordination, and contract management.

— Patient documentation flow from intake through treatment to discharge and post-treatment follow-up.

— Inter-departmental scheduling across our seven clinical specialists and the patient coordination team.

— ISO 9001 administrative compliance across every clinical workflow.

— Coordination with international payment processing for medical-tourism patients including bank wire transfers, currency selection (USD or LBP), and English-language documentation for private insurance claim-back.

Her Business background combined with twenty-one years of consolidated operational leadership at the same medical center means every administrative workflow under her oversight has been refined, tested and standardised — supporting the clinical team in delivering the consistent treatment quality that has defined this practice across two decades.

Fluent in Arabic, English and French, Nada is the central administrative point of contact for patients, referring practitioners and corporate accounts arriving across our two-location practice.

Twenty-one years of running the same medical center is not a job title. It is institutional memory — the deep operational knowledge that turns a clinic into a destination.

Dr. Rania Nassar Turk — Orthodontist

Specialist Orthodontist at Dental Clinic Lebanon by Smile Infinity Medical Center, leading orthodontic treatment programmes for adult and pediatric patients across our Marc 1 Sin El Fil location and our CMC Dental Division in Hamra Clemenceau.

CLINICAL FOCUS:

Dr. Rania delivers the full range of contemporary orthodontic treatment modalities — Invisalign clear-aligner therapy for adult patients prioritising discretion during treatment, Incognito lingual orthodontics for professionals and public-facing patients requiring an entirely invisible appliance, traditional bracket-and-wire orthodontics where clinically indicated, and complex pre-prosthetic orthodontic preparation for patients undergoing combined orthodontic-prosthetic Hollywood Smile programmes.

Pediatric orthodontic care includes early-intervention protocols (interceptive orthodontics for growing patients), space-management for mixed-dentition cases, and family-oriented treatment scheduling that accommodates school schedules and parental availability.

For international medical-tourism patients, Dr. Rania coordinates accelerated orthodontic-prosthetic treatment plans designed for compressed treatment windows — particularly relevant for adult patients combining alignment correction with cosmetic Hollywood Smile work in a single international visit.

LANGUAGES:

Arabic, English and French.

Dr. Georges El Turk — Prosthodontist

Specialist Prosthodontist at Dental Clinic Lebanon by Smile Infinity Medical Center, focused on the prosthetic restoration of complex dental cases — including full-mouth rehabilitation, multiple-implant prosthetics, porcelain veneer cases and the precision restoration work that defines Hollywood Smile outcomes.

CLINICAL FOCUS:

Dr. Georges works alongside Dr. Habib Zarifeh on every advanced prosthetic case at our two-location practice. His expertise covers porcelain veneer design and bonding (E.max, ZEvolution, Lumineers, Cerinate, feldspathic), zirconium and full-ceramic crown protocols, implant-supported prostheses ranging from single-tooth restorations to full-arch All-on-4 and All-on-6 reconstructions, and the digital workflow integration that enables same-session restorations using our Sirona Cerec Bluecam CAD/CAM system — the first installation of its kind in Lebanon.

His patient cases include international medical-tourism arrivals from across the Gulf, Europe, Africa and the Americas, as well as long-standing local patients across Lebanon. Each prosthetic plan is developed in coordination with Dr. Habib and the wider multidisciplinary team to ensure clinical sequence, aesthetic outcome and long-term durability are aligned from the first impression through to the final bond.

LANGUAGES:

Arabic, English and French — clinical communication delivered in the patient's preferred language.

Dr. Monique Hanna — Endodontist

Specialist Endodontist at Dental Clinic Lebanon by Smile Infinity Medical Center, focused on root canal therapy, microendodontics, retreatment of failed previous root canals, and the preservation of natural teeth that less specialised practices might otherwise extract.

CLINICAL FOCUS:

Dr. Monique works with the dental operating microscope and contemporary endodontic instrumentation to deliver high-precision root canal therapy across single-rooted, multi-rooted and complex anatomical cases. Her work covers primary root canal treatment, surgical and non-surgical retreatment of previously failed endodontic cases, apical microsurgery, and the preservation of teeth presenting with complex internal anatomy that traditional approaches cannot resolve.

For patients arriving with painful symptomatic teeth, Dr. Monique coordinates same-day or next-day emergency endodontic intervention through our 24-hour emergency hotline. For international medical-tourism patients, endodontic treatment is sequenced before any prosthetic, cosmetic or implant-related work — ensuring the foundational health of the dentition is established before aesthetic transformation begins.

Her work is integral to the long-term durability of every Hollywood Smile transformation, every prosthetic case, and every full-mouth rehabilitation delivered at our two-location practice.

LANGUAGES:

Arabic, English and French.

Dr. Anthony Kamel — Orthopedic Surgeon

Specialist Orthopedic and Sports Medicine consultant available at our CMC Dental Division through the multi-specialty integration with Clemenceau Medical Center (Johns Hopkins International affiliated, JCI accredited).

CLINICAL FOCUS:

Dr. Anthony delivers consultation, diagnosis and treatment for musculoskeletal conditions, sports-related injuries, joint pain management, post-surgical rehabilitation oversight, and the broader orthopedic medicine portfolio relevant to international patients whose treatment programme at our medical center extends beyond dental work alone.

His role within Dental Clinic Lebanon is supportive rather than primary — patients presenting with TMJ disorders, occlusal-musculoskeletal dysfunction or post-surgical orthopedic concerns benefit from cross-disciplinary consultation between dental specialists and orthopedic medicine, particularly for complex cases where dental occlusion intersects with broader skeletal alignment and posture-related considerations.

For international medical-tourism patients arriving for combined treatment programmes at our CMC Dental Division, Dr. Anthony's availability ensures that orthopedic concerns surfacing during a Lebanon-based treatment programme can be addressed in the same medical-center destination rather than requiring referral elsewhere.
