As part of his commitment to the dental health of the community at large, he volunteers at the Northern Virginia Dental Clinic. Dr. Traboulsi has two main goals in his dental practice. The first is to restore normal dental function, allowing patients to eat and talk without pain and the second is to restore and enhance his patients’ natural beauty by improving their smiles.
