Hollywood Smile in Lebanon

Mrs Nada Fahed leads day-to-day clinical operations at our Jounieh location as Clinic Manager. She joined the practice in 2005 and has spent more than twenty years anchoring the patient experience at Smile Infinity Jounieh, making her one of the longest-serving members of the team.

Her remit covers the full operational rhythm of the Jounieh clinic: patient flow management across the appointment schedule, coordination between the clinical team and international patient coordinators, supervision of treatment-day logistics, and continuity of care for returning patients who have been coming back to the practice for over a decade.

For overseas patients arriving through our medical-tourism programme, Mrs Fahed is the on-site point of contact who ensures that the carefully sequenced treatment plan, the travel schedule, and the patient's recovery requirements all align in practice. She works closely with our international coordination team to translate the pre-arrival plan into the day-by-day clinical reality at the Jounieh clinic.

Mrs Fahed represents Layer 2 of our team continuity model. The clinic was co-founded in 1999 by Dr. Habib Zarifeh and Dr. Maya Zeidan; in 2005, as the practice grew into a multi-location operation, Mrs Fahed joined alongside the founding operations layer to lead the Jounieh clinic. Twenty years of institutional memory underpin every patient interaction at the location.

Dr. Habib Zarifeh is the founder of the practice and the principal clinician leading every Hollywood Smile, cosmetic dentistry and dental implants programme delivered at Smile Infinity Jounieh.

He co-founded the clinic in 1999 alongside Dr. Maya Zeidan, and over the following decades has built Smile Infinity Medical Centers into an international network operating across twelve countries spanning the United States, Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

Clinical appointments: International Cosmetic Dentist and Dental Implants Surgeon. Head of Oral Surgery at Clemenceau Medical Center Beirut (Johns Hopkins International affiliated, JCI accredited hospital). MSc Laser Dentistry, RWTH Aachen University, Germany.

Dr. Zarifeh's cosmetic dentistry practice is anchored around the full range of contemporary porcelain veneer systems: the proprietary ZEvolution premium veneers developed at our practice, Lumineers by Den-Mat including original Cerinate no-prep porcelain, E.max porcelain veneers, zirconium-based ceramic veneers, hand-layered feldspathic veneer artistry, and composite veneer bonding. His implant work includes the One Day Implant protocol for patients requiring immediate restoration.

He has welcomed international cosmetic dentistry patients to Lebanon for over two decades, with overseas patients regularly travelling to the Jounieh clinic from across the Gulf, Europe, Africa and the wider international diaspora. Each treatment plan is built around a written clinical sequence agreed in advance and aligned to the patient's travel schedule.

It is not a smile. It is a signature.

Dr. Maya Zeidan is the co-founder of the practice, sharing the original 1999 founding partnership with Dr. Habib Zarifeh. Over the twenty-seven years that have followed, she has shaped the cosmetic and digital restorative dentistry workflow that underpins every Hollywood Smile case delivered at Smile Infinity Jounieh.

Clinical specialty: Pioneer Cosmetic Dentist and CAD CAM specialist. Dr. Zeidan was an early adopter of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD CAM) in restorative dentistry, integrating CEREC same-day restoration technology into the practice well before it became standard across the region.

Her clinical focus is the precise digital workflow that turns each Hollywood Smile from a smile design concept into a delivered, fitted result. Every porcelain veneer case at the Jounieh clinic flows through a sequence she helped establish: intraoral scanning, digital smile design preview, ceramic specification, shade calibration, and on-day fitting protocols. The result is a porcelain veneer outcome calibrated to each patient's facial proportion, lip line, and natural tooth morphology.

Dr. Zeidan works across the full contemporary porcelain veneer portfolio: ZEvolution premium veneers, Lumineers by Den-Mat including original Cerinate no-prep porcelain, E.max porcelain veneers, zirconium-based ceramic veneers, hand-layered feldspathic artistry, and composite veneer bonding.

Twenty-seven years of co-founding clinical partnership with Dr. Habib Zarifeh sit behind every smile transformation. The practice received its first ISO 9001 quality certification the same year it was founded, in 1999, with both clinicians as direct participants in the founding clinical-quality standards.

Dr. Micha Kabalan is the endodontist at Smile Infinity Jounieh and has been part of the clinical team since 2012, delivering over fourteen years of focused root canal and endodontic care at the practice.

Clinical specialty: Endodontist. Dr. Kabalan handles the full range of endodontic procedures: root canal treatment on anterior and posterior teeth, retreatment of previously root-canal-treated teeth, endodontic microsurgery, internal bleaching of discoloured teeth following root canal therapy, and the management of complex endodontic anatomy.

His remit at Smile Infinity Jounieh covers two clinical pathways. The first is endodontic care for general dental patients — saving compromised teeth through precise root canal therapy when extraction would otherwise be required. The second is the endodontic preparation that supports cosmetic dental cases, including root canal treatment prior to crown or veneer placement and the endodontic protocols required for full Hollywood Smile rehabilitations.

Dr. Kabalan works closely with Dr. Habib Zarifeh and Dr. Maya Zeidan on the clinical sequencing of multi-stage cases, ensuring that endodontic phases align with the wider restorative and cosmetic treatment timeline. For overseas patients arriving on coordinated travel schedules, his work is integrated into the written treatment plan agreed before the visit, so that all clinical phases complete within the patient's available window.

Mrs Racha Hanna is the General Manager of the practice and the senior operational lead across the wider Smile Infinity organization in Lebanon. She holds the practice's top non-clinical position and works in direct partnership with Dr. Habib Zarifeh and Dr. Maya Zeidan on the strategic direction of the network.

Her remit covers the full operational footprint of the practice: strategic oversight across the clinical locations, coordination between the founding clinicians and the operational management team, partnership and supplier relationships, and the institutional standards that govern patient experience across every Smile Infinity location.

For overseas patients arriving through the medical-tourism programme, Mrs Hanna's role is structural rather than day-to-day. The frameworks she oversees — clinical sequencing protocols, written treatment-plan standards, international coordination workflows, and the trilingual patient-communication standard — are the institutional architecture inside which every patient journey is delivered.

She works closely with Mrs Nada Khoury (Administrative Manager), Mrs Eliane Icho (Senior International Patient Coordinator), Mrs Nada Fahed (Clinic Manager Jounieh) and the wider specialist team to ensure that the patient experience remains consistent across the entire Smile Infinity network, from the first international inquiry through to the final post-treatment follow-up.

Mrs Hanna represents the senior management layer of the practice's long-term continuity model, working alongside the 1999 founding partnership and the operational management cohort to maintain institutional consistency over more than two decades.

Dr. Rania Nassar Turk is the orthodontist at Smile Infinity Jounieh, delivering the orthodontic and dento-facial alignment work that often forms the foundation of a successful Hollywood Smile outcome.

Clinical specialty: Orthodontist. Dr. Nassar Turk handles the full orthodontic portfolio: fixed conventional orthodontic appliances, lingual orthodontics, clear aligner therapy including Invisalign, ceramic and aesthetic bracket systems, adult orthodontic treatment, adolescent and child orthodontics, and the dento-facial alignment protocols that prepare complex cases for restorative or cosmetic dental work.

Her clinical focus at Smile Infinity Jounieh covers two main patient pathways. The first is conventional orthodontic care for adolescents and adults seeking tooth-alignment correction. The second is the pre-restorative orthodontic phase that supports premium cosmetic dental outcomes — aligning the underlying dental architecture before porcelain veneer placement, optimising the occlusal foundation for Hollywood Smile cases, and coordinating clear-aligner programmes that run in sequence with the restorative timeline.

For overseas patients, Dr. Nassar Turk's role is integrated into the wider Smile Infinity treatment planning. When a Hollywood Smile case is best served by a short pre-treatment orthodontic phase, the clear-aligner work can begin remotely from the patient's home country and progress through the in-person Lebanon visit. This allows the alignment and the cosmetic restorative work to sit within a single coordinated international journey rather than two separate trips.

Dr. Nassar Turk works closely with Dr. Habib Zarifeh and Dr. Maya Zeidan on the clinical sequencing of cases that combine orthodontic and restorative phases, ensuring that the orthodontic outcome aligns precisely with the planned final cosmetic result.

Mrs Rayane Ghalayini joined the practice in 2019 as Patient Coordinator at the dental wing of Clemenceau Medical Center Beirut, the Johns Hopkins International affiliated, JCI accredited hospital where Dr. Habib Zarifeh holds the position of Head of Oral Surgery.

Her remit covers the end-to-end coordination of patient journeys through the CMC dental setting. This includes scheduling complex restorative and surgical cases that require the hospital-grade clinical environment, liaising with the wider multi-disciplinary CMC medical teams when dental treatment intersects with general medical care, and supporting the cross-referral pathways between the Smile Infinity dental network and the hospital's specialist departments.

For overseas patients arriving through the medical-tourism programme, Mrs Ghalayini handles the specific subset of cases that route through the CMC environment — implant surgery requiring hospital-grade infrastructure, sedation cases scheduled in the hospital theatre, full-mouth rehabilitation cases requiring multi-day treatment windows, and complex cases for medically compromised patients who benefit from the hospital setting.

She works alongside Mrs Chantale Cherfane, who joined the practice in the same 2019 cohort to lead the aesthetic medicine vertical. Between them, the two coordinators extend Smile Infinity's patient-pathway architecture from the Jounieh dental clinic across to the hospital and aesthetic-medicine network at CMC Beirut.

Mrs Ghalayini represents Layer 3 of the practice's team continuity model, joining alongside the 2019 specialist expansion cohort that extended the practice's reach into the wider hospital and aesthetic-medicine network.

Dr. Georges Turk is the TMJ specialist at Smile Infinity Jounieh, managing temporomandibular joint disorders and the occlusal foundations that underpin every premium restorative and cosmetic dental case at the practice.

Clinical specialty: Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, occlusal therapy, and the management of bruxism, clenching and parafunctional habits. Dr. Turk handles the full TMJ portfolio: diagnosis of jaw joint disorders, occlusal analysis, custom night guards and occlusal splints, bruxism and clenching management, jaw pain and headache management of dental origin, and the occlusal sequencing that supports complex restorative work.

His remit at Smile Infinity Jounieh covers two main clinical pathways. The first is dedicated TMJ care for patients presenting with jaw joint disorders, persistent jaw pain, tension-type headaches of dental origin, restricted jaw opening, joint clicking, and bruxism-related tooth wear. The second is the pre-restorative occlusal preparation that underpins safe and durable cosmetic dental outcomes — assessing the underlying jaw architecture before porcelain veneer placement, optimising the occlusal foundation for Hollywood Smile cases, and providing the post-restorative night guard protection that safeguards the cosmetic dental work over the long term.

For overseas patients arriving through the medical-tourism programme, Dr. Turk's role is integrated into the wider treatment-planning protocol. A short TMJ and occlusal evaluation is built into the assessment phase of every full-mouth Hollywood Smile case to protect against post-restorative complications. Custom occlusal splints are designed and fitted during the Lebanon visit, ensuring that overseas patients return home with their cosmetic outcome clinically protected.

Dr. Turk works closely with Dr. Habib Zarifeh and Dr. Maya Zeidan on the clinical sequencing of restorative and cosmetic cases, ensuring that the occlusal architecture supports the long-term durability of each Hollywood Smile outcome. He also collaborates with Dr. Rania Nassar Turk on cases that combine orthodontic alignment with occlusal therapy, where the bite is designed in parallel with the tooth-alignment phase.

Dr. Tedd Dargham is the pediatric dentist at Smile Infinity Jounieh, delivering the full range of children's dental care from the first dental visit through adolescence and into the transition to adult dentistry.

Clinical specialty: Pediatric Dentistry. Dr. Dargham handles the complete pediatric dental portfolio: first dental visits and preventive care from infancy onward, child-focused dental examinations and cleanings, fluoride applications and protective sealants, restorative dentistry for primary and permanent teeth, pulp therapy on primary teeth, pediatric crowns, management of dental trauma in children, behaviour-guidance techniques for anxious young patients, and the dental care of children with special healthcare needs.

His remit at Smile Infinity Jounieh covers two main clinical pathways. The first is dedicated pediatric care for Lebanese families across Jounieh, Keserwan and the wider Mount Lebanon region, with many families bringing successive generations of children to the practice. The second is the family-care offering that supports international medical-tourism patients, where parents arriving for Hollywood Smile or cosmetic dental treatment can have their children seen for examinations, preventive care, or interceptive treatment during the same Lebanon visit.

Dr. Dargham's clinical approach combines evidence-based pediatric dentistry with the calm, communication-led behaviour-guidance protocols that turn dental visits from a source of anxiety into a positive experience for the child. Children seen at the practice from early childhood often continue their dental care with the wider Smile Infinity team well into adulthood, supporting the long-term continuity of family dental health.

He works closely with Dr. Rania Nassar Turk on cases where early orthodontic intervention or interceptive treatment is indicated, ensuring that growing patients receive the right care at the right developmental window.

Mrs Eliane Icho is the Senior International Patient Coordinator at the practice and the lead point of contact for overseas patients arriving at Smile Infinity Jounieh for cosmetic dentistry, Hollywood Smile programmes, and dental implants. She joined the practice in 2005 and has spent more than twenty years coordinating the international patient journey end-to-end.

Her remit is the complete A to Z concierge architecture that defines the practice's medical-tourism offering: pre-arrival consultation by photo and X-ray, written treatment-plan preparation in advance of the visit, flight and visa support coordination, hotel reservations aligned with the clinical schedule, airport meet-and-greet and ground transportation, daily transfers between hotel and the Jounieh clinic, professional translation across the clinical journey in Arabic, English and French, and curated day-tour and cultural recommendations across Lebanon's coastal and mountain destinations.

Mrs Icho is the single dedicated point of contact who carries each overseas patient from the very first inquiry through to the final post-treatment follow-up — often two or three months after departure. For returning patients on multi-stage treatment plans, she manages the institutional memory between visits, so that each return trip resumes exactly where the previous one ended.

She works closely with Mrs Nada Fahed, Clinic Manager at Smile Infinity Jounieh, to translate the pre-arrival travel plan into the day-by-day clinical reality at the clinic. Where cases route through the Clemenceau Medical Center environment for hospital-grade procedures, she coordinates with Mrs Rayane Ghalayini at the CMC dental wing. Where cases combine cosmetic dental work with aesthetic medicine, she liaises with Mrs Chantale Cherfane on the integrated cosmetic journey.

Mrs Icho represents Layer 2 of the practice's team continuity model — joining in 2005 as the practice grew into a multi-location, internationally-serving operation, alongside Mrs Nada Khoury and Mrs Nada Fahed in the operations founding cohort.
