    Before You Get Veneers, Hear This Cosmetic Dentistry Warning with Dr. Neveen Alamawi

    Dr. Neveen Alamawi, founder of Smile & Smooch • Dental & Aesthetics, the Home of Glam Dentistry™ and No Aesthetic Gaslighting™, and a proud mother of three boys. Her journey in dentistry began at 16 as a Registered Dental Assistant, evolved into a Registered Dental Hygienist, and ultimately led her to becoming a Doctor of Dental Surgery while building her career, raising a family, and shaping the vision behind Smile & Smooch. Along the way, she’s been honored with awards, recognized as a dental researcher, presented twice through the California Dental Association in TMJ/Botox and periodontics, and contributed to global public health work with UNAIDS. Her philosophy is that a smile is never just teeth, it is the beauty of teeth, lips, face, and expression, and every smile makeover should be deeply personal, never one-size-fits-all or imposed. At Smile & Smooch, this comes to life through Glam Dentistry™, a patient-centered approach that blends science and aesthetics to enhance confidence without pressure, bias, or aesthetic gaslighting because beauty should always be discovered, respected, and defined by the patient, not the provider. In this episode… Before you get veneers, are you choosing a smile that truly reflects you, or are you accepting someone else’s idea of what your smile should look like? Many patients enter cosmetic dentistry hoping for a transformation, but how often do they actually get the result they imagined? Dr. Neveen Alamawi shares her journey from becoming interested in dentistry as a child to creating Smile & Smooch Dental and Aesthetics. She explains the philosophy behind Glam Dentistry, why she believes patients should have more input in cosmetic decisions, and how treatments like veneers, Botox, and smile design can combine aesthetics with dental considerations. She also shares a story about a patient whose denture experience changed how she viewed patient choice and beauty. In this episode of Beauty Talk, host Daniel Gouw interviews Dr. Neveen Alamawi, founder of Smile & Smooch Dental and Aesthetics. Dr. Alamawi is a Doctor of Dental Surgery with a background that includes dental hygiene, dental research, and presentations involving TMJ, Botox, and periodontics. The conversation explores cosmetic dentistry, veneers, patient-centered smile transformations, aesthetic gaslighting, choosing the right cosmetic dentist, and the future of modern dentistry.

    Your Smile Could Be Making You Look Older Without You Knowing with Dr. Jerome Cha

    Dr. Jerome Cha, who has been practicing clinical dentistry in Oklahoma for over 30 years, and he is the only Accredited Cosmetic Dentist in the state by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. He has been practicing for the last 10 years, focusing solely on 'dental facial volume compensation' and TMD treatments. The smile makeover not only addresses TMJ-related disorders but also volumizes the aging face to reverse the signs of aging. Dr. Cha has lectured internationally, published several articles in dental cosmetic journals, and is a clinical educator at his dental teaching institute, Dental QS. In this episode... Could your smile be changing the way your entire face ages without you realizing it? Most people think cosmetic dentistry begins and ends with creating attractive teeth, but Dr. Jerome Cha explains why jaw position, skeletal support, muscle function, and tooth dimensions can all influence facial appearance. Could addressing the foundation change both how your smile functions and how your face looks? Dr. Cha explains his approach to dental facial volume compensation, sometimes called a dental facelift, and how adding dimension to the teeth can support the lower face without relying solely on traditional aesthetic treatments. He also shares the case of a young patient who developed jaw pain and chipped teeth after previous extractions and orthodontic treatment, plus an example of a patient whose facial symmetry changed immediately after her jaw imbalance was addressed.

Dr. Cha has practiced dentistry for more than 30 years and is the only AACD accredited cosmetic dentist in Oklahoma.

    Why Some Patients Should Never Get Veneers with Dr. Ehida Akharume

    Dr Ehida Akharume  is a 2004 Magna Cum Laude graduate of Jackson State University, where she received a B.S. In Biology. While pursuing her degree at JSU, she was involved in several organizations. She was a member of Tri-Beta Biological Honor Society, Alpha Chi Honor Society, and a proud member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.

Dr. Akharume strives to live up to the motto of her alma mater to improve the healthcare of the underserved community. In this episode... Should everyone who wants veneers actually get them? Social media can make cosmetic dentistry look as simple as choosing your favorite smile and asking a dentist to recreate it, but Dr. Ehida Akharume explains why your teeth, habits, oral health, and medical history can completely change what treatment is appropriate. So what happens when the smile you want is not the treatment your mouth needs? Dr. Akharume breaks down what veneers actually are, how porcelain compares with composite, and why some patients may need crowns or other restorations instead. She also explains how teeth grinding and certain health factors can affect dental implants, and shares why rebuilding a severely damaged smile requires more than creating attractive teeth. The finished result also has to allow the patient to chew and speak properly. In this episode of Beauty Talk, host Daniel Gouw interviews Dr. Ehida Akharume, a general dentist at Advanced Dental Clinic in Ridgeland, Mississippi. Dr. Akharume earned her DDS from Meharry Medical College and completed a General Practice Residency with certification in Hospital Dentistry.
