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.
