General Dentist
A general dentist performs regular teeth cleanings and diagnoses problems that patients have with pain and oral health. They can tell patients when other issues are causing damage to their teeth, like bruxism, a poor diet, or dry mouth. Many general dentists also offer teeth whitening or dental bonding, which are cosmetic treatments, but most people would not consider them to be cosmetic dentists because the artistic aspect of dentistry is not the dentist’s primary focus.

Dr. Hawary named his practice Art of Dentistry Institute to make his focus clear. His passion is to not only provide patients with excellent general care, but he is also dedicated to crafting an aesthetically beautiful smile for each person. Since he graduated from dental school, Dr. Hawary began to advance his knowledge in cosmetic treatments by attending additional courses and programs geared toward cosmetic dentistry. As he perfected his skills, he entered and won several Smile Gallery Competitions which showcase some of his most challenging cases of cosmetic reconstruction. Many of these cases are also featured in prestigious dental journals such as The Journal of Cosmetic Dentistry, the Journal of California Dental Association, and theAmerican Journal of Esthetic Dentistry. What truly sets Dr. Hawary apart as a top cosmetic dentist is his status as Fellow of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD). He is the 60th in the world to attain this level of achievement and is the first and the only Fellow of the AACD in Orange County.
