Doctor of Dental Surgery, graduated from Saint Joseph University — blending clinical precision with genuine, patient-first care.
I'm Joy Rahhal, a Doctor of Dental Surgery, graduated from Saint Joseph University in Beirut. Over a two-year clinical stage I've worked across the full spectrum of general dentistry — restoring function, relieving pain, and helping people feel at ease in a setting that often makes them anxious.
I believe dentistry is as much about trust as it is about technique. Whether I'm shaping a crown or reassuring a nervous patient, my goal is the same: a healthier, more confident smile that someone is genuinely happy to share.
Alongside my studies, I volunteer at a community dispensary and have spent years in scouting and charity work — experiences that shaped how I listen, adapt, and lead.
Hands-on experience developed through supervised clinical practice at the USJ Dental Center.
Designing and delivering fixed and removable prostheses — crowns, bridges and dentures — with care for function, occlusion and aesthetics.
Root canal treatment from pulpal diagnosis through canal instrumentation, irrigation and obturation on anterior and posterior teeth.
Scaling, root planing and periodontal maintenance, paired with oral-hygiene guidance that supports long-term gingival health.
Routine and surgical extractions with attentive local anaesthesia, post-operative care and patient reassurance throughout.
Providing general dental care to underserved patients, delivering diagnosis, treatment and preventive care in a resource-limited setting and adapting to each patient's needs.
Two years managing patients independently from consultation and diagnosis through treatment and follow-up, across prosthetics, endodontics, periodontics and exodontics within a multidisciplinary clinic.
Pursuing the DDS degree, combining academic study with progressively independent clinical responsibility, plus a guest dental session delivered at "Université pour Tous — USJ".
"The best dentistry is quiet — it gives people back their confidence and asks nothing in return but a smile."
Open to clinical opportunities, collaborations and a friendly conversation about dentistry and care.
