Half-Persian, half-Filipino dental doctor Farahnaz Shamsi wants to give every Filipino a beautiful smile like that of Hollywood stars.
“Hollywood smile is that made-to-perfection white smile that most actors and actresses wear. It helps boost confidence. With it our patients smile more often, thus they become happier,” says Dr. Farah, chief operating officer of Fashion Smile Dental Health and Wellness, a premium one-stop dental, aesthetics, facial, and skin care center with Persian spa wellness.
Dr. Farah explains that the procedure is basically veneers. She usually recommends EMAX veneers as they are the best in the market right now.
“Hollywood smile can be done directly by a dentist or indirectly by being sent to a laboratory for fabrication. The direct procedure is done in one to two sessions and the indirect usually requires three to four sessions,” adds Dr. Farah, who continuously advances her knowledge of dentistry especially in the field of cosmetic dentistry and endodontics.
Dr. Farah explains that cosmetic dentistry focuses on the appearance of the teeth, mouth, and smile while still functioning properly.
“It’s an aesthetic rehabilitation to give a beautiful smile to patients. We recommend this to patients who are looking to improve their teeth and smile, like patients who have yellowish teeth, a missing tooth, or those who simply are not happy with the shape of their teeth,” shares the lovely doctor, adding that the procedure requires patience.
Dr. Farah came to the Philippines in 2010 to study dentistry. She decided to stay when she saw an opportunity to enhance and elevate the country’s dental industry. She also noticed a big need in promoting dental health.
“I love the Philippines and I love working here. I am also happy that Filipinos are being more aware of the importance of oral health and therefore visiting their dentist more often,” says Dr. Farah.
