Digital Smile Design
A 3D simulation of the proposed result, designed around your face rather than the teeth alone. You review it and approve it first. Used for veneers, bonding and full restorative rehabilitation.
Same day ceramic restorations, advanced clear aligner treatment, and a diagnosis that looks past the obvious. Dr. Tarek Khawli is an international Invisalign and iTero speaker, practising at MySmile Polyclinic in Jumeirah 1
Every plan begins with the whole picture: the bite, the joint, the airway, the soft tissue. A smile that ignores how you chew will not hold.
Dr. Tarek Khawli works at MySmile Polyclinic in Jumeirah, where his practice runs almost entirely on a digital workflow: optical scanning instead of impression trays, ceramic milled in the clinic, aligner movements planned on screen before a single tray is worn.
He also teaches. As an official Invisalign and iTero speaker he trains other dentists in aligner biomechanics, 3D planning and intraoral scanning, and in 2025 that clinical work was recognised with the Leader in Digital Dentistry award.
For you as a patient, it comes down to sequence. Diagnosis first. Then a plan built on what the diagnosis found. Then a simulation you can look at and approve, before anything is drilled, moved or bonded.
Teaches other dentists across the region on digital staging and intraoral scanning.

Teeth rarely break for no reason. The examination reads chewing forces, jaw joint stability, airway factors and wear patterns, so the cause is treated and not only the damage.
Assessment and management of clenching, grinding, worn edges and joint strain, using computerised force analysis and functional adjustment.
If teeth have drifted back after previous braces or aligners, the case is re assessed and realignment options are discussed openly, including whether treatment is worth repeating.
Your restoration is scanned, designed and milled in the clinic, then bonded the same day. No putty impressions. No temporary crown to look after for two weeks. No second appointment.
Aligner treatment is not one price. What you pay follows the number of aligners your case needs, and that follows the diagnosis.

An intraoral iTero scan, a 3D X-ray and a facial photograph are needed before your plan is finalised. Together they set the number of aligners, based on facial aesthetics, tooth position, bite correction and your individual case.
Forty five minutes. A 3D iTero scan, a bite force check, an airway assessment and a full photographic series.
You leave with a clear diagnosis and your own baseline records.
DSD planning and 3D aligner staging, produced before any clinical work starts.
You see the expected result and approve it, or ask for changes.
Aligner sequences through the Invisalign Platinum Elite workflow, or a CEREC ceramic restoration placed in a single appointment.
Predictable execution, and far less time in the chair.
Occlusal balancing, retention made for you, and a follow up protocol that is planned rather than reactive.
The result holds, and the joint stays comfortable.
The tooth is scanned optically, the restoration is designed on screen, milled from a ceramic block in the clinic, and bonded the same day. That removes the impression tray, the temporary crown and the wait in between.
By how many aligners your case needs. That number comes from the iTero scan, the 3D x ray and the facial photograph, so it is only confirmed after the assessment. The table above shows the current range, and you receive your exact figure in writing before treatment starts.
Because teaching means staying inside the detail. Dr Tarek trains other practitioners in aligner biomechanics and digital staging, which is the same thinking applied to crowding, bite discrepancies and cases that have relapsed.
Yes. Digital Smile Design and optical scanning produce a 3D preview of the expected alignment and smile. You approve it before clinical treatment starts.
Not necessarily. Non extraction planning is preferred wherever the assessment supports it. Your scan, bite analysis and bone limits decide that, not a general rule.
Most consultations look at the tooth that hurts. This one also reads chewing forces, joint stability, airway and biological risk, because that is usually where the cause sits.
