How I think about treatment

My work starts with education — helping you understand your own mouth well enough to make good decisions. I simplify complex problems, present more than one treatment plan, and help you choose the one that fits your life, not just the textbook. I aim for the ideal, but I stay pragmatic.

I've always loved building things. Prosthodontics is the specialty that does exactly that: it rebuilds teeth — and with them, the way people smile, chew, and carry themselves.

That is why I never begin with the treatment. I begin with the diagnosis: the bite, the gums, the proportions of the face, the condition of every tooth. The plan follows from there — conservative where possible, comprehensive where necessary, and always designed to look natural and last.

Educator

The dentist other dentists learn from.

Alongside his practice, Dr. Succaria teaches advanced veneer and restorative dentistry to dentists across the region and internationally. He has lectured in the United States, Spain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, Thailand and across the UAE, and his hands-on veneer workshops have trained hundreds of practicing dentists. He is a contributing author to two prosthodontics textbooks and directs a comprehensive veneers training program with live patient treatment.

His teaching philosophy is the same as his clinical one: simplify the complex. A clinician who teaches has to explain, organize, and justify every decision — and that same clarity is what you'll experience in his consultations.

Beyond the clinic

Beirut to Boston to Dubai.

Dr. Succaria is a third-generation dentist — he grew up in Lebanon around the profession before it became his own. His path led from Beirut to Boston, and since 2010, to Dubai.

Since 2009 he has volunteered with the Global Smile Foundation, treating children born with cleft lip and palate on outreach missions. He consults in English and Arabic.

At clinics in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. One number reaches both — his assistant will arrange your visit at the clinic nearest to you.

What is the difference between a prosthodontist and a cosmetic dentist?
