Treatment Pathways

Your path is rarely a straight line.

Most dental cases call for more than one procedure — and the order in which they happen changes the outcome completely. Here are five real pathways our guests begin with, from the simplest to the most comprehensive. Find the one that mirrors your situation.

Five common pathways

Clear steps. One team.

This is not an exhaustive list — just five common pathways to help you understand the logic behind the plan we will propose. Every case carries its own detail, but the structure stays the same: assessment → planning → treatment → follow-up.

01

Cosmetic-Direct

Cosmetic-Direct · Most requested
2–4 weeks2–4 weeks

Sound teeth and healthy gums, but the shade or shape needs refining. The fastest, least invasive pathway — whitening, veneers, or bonding with no preparatory treatment required.

1
Consultation & Digital Smile Design
Consultation · DSD

Full examination, 3D intraoral scan, and a digital preview of the proposed result.

45 minutes With Dr. Jamil Aref
2
Whitening or Bonding
Whitening / Bonding

If whitening alone is enough, it happens here. In some cases a temporary mock-up lets you preview the veneer result.

One session
3
Veneers or Restoration
Veneers / Restoration

Minimal surface preparation, a digital impression, then bonding of the final veneers.

Two visits over two weeks
4
Weekly Review
Follow-up

Confirm bite stability, refine if needed, and fit a night guard to protect the work.

Align First, Then Refine

Align first, then refine · Often the smarter route
8–18 months8–18 months

Crowded teeth or a misaligned bite — correcting them with orthodontics first reduces the need for heavy veneer work later and preserves your natural enamel. Most patients asking for a "Hollywood smile" begin here.

1
Orthodontic Consultation
Orthodontic Consult

Imaging, 3D scan, and a tailored plan — Invisalign or fixed braces.

45 minutes Dr. Mohamed Bamashmous / Misha / Layla
2
Alignment Phase
Alignment Phase

Invisalign or fixed braces, with reviews every 6–8 weeks.

6–18 months

Whitening

Straight after the braces come off — teeth are ready for a clean, bright baseline.

Veneers (optional)
Veneers (optional)

If alignment and whitening already satisfy you, skip this step. If not, a minimal set of 4–8 veneers completes the result.

2–3 weeks With Dr. Jamil Aref

Retainer

A fixed retainer or a nightly removable one — keeping the result for life.

03

Restore, Align, Finish

Restore → Align → Finish · For multi-stage cases
12–30 months12–30 months

When a tooth is compromised and needs endodontic treatment, the teeth are also crowded, and cosmetic finishing is part of the plan — sequence matters. Moving a step out of order can undo the work of the one that follows.

1
Root Canal & Temporary Restoration
Endo + Temporization

Save compromised teeth with precise endodontic care, then fit temporary crowns.

2–4 weeks Dr. Obadah Austah
2
Periodontal Care if Needed
Perio Stabilization

Deep cleaning and a full periodontal assessment — we never move teeth over unstable gums.

1–3 months Dr. Mohamed Assaggaf
3
Orthodontics
Orthodontics

Aligning the teeth while accounting for the temporary crowns — a plan built for this case alone.

12–24 months
4
Final Crowns or Veneers
Final Restoration

Once positions settle, we place zirconia crowns or veneers as the case requires.

3–6 weeks Dr. Mohannad Atwa + Dr. Jamil Aref

Long-term Maintenance

04

The Implant Pathway

Implant-Supported Restoration · For one missing tooth or many
4–9 months4–9 months

From replacing a single tooth to rehabilitating an entire arch. Modern implant dentistry is precise and predictable, but it follows a considered sequence — surgery, integration, then the final crown.

1
3D Planning
CBCT & Digital Planning

CBCT imaging, intraoral scanning, and a 3D-printed surgical guide.

1–2 weeks Imaging & radiology team
2
Site Preparation (grafting if needed)
Site Preparation

Bone grafting or a sinus lift when the case calls for it.

2–6 months Dr. Mohamed Assaggaf
3
Implant Surgery
Implant Surgery

Guided implant placement with micron-level accuracy.

45 minutes
4
Osseointegration
Osseointegration

The implant integrates with the bone — a temporary crown bridges the wait when needed.

3–6 months

Final Crown

Digital impression, CAD/CAM fabrication, and final seating of the crown.

Not sure yet?

I don't know which pathway is mine.

That is perfectly normal — the right plan is shaped after the examination, not before. Book your first consultation. We listen first, diagnose carefully, then recommend the pathway that makes sense for you.
