Meet The Doctors

Dr. Najib Joseph Bouchebel received a B.S. in Biology from George Mason University, a Masters Degree in Biochemistry at VA Commonwealth University(VCU), and earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery from VCU Dental School in Richmond, VA. He also completed a General Practice Residency at WellSpan York Hospital in York, PA. This residency allowed him to work in pediatric dentistry, emergency room dental care, oral surgery, endodontics, and implant dentistry.

Dr. Bouchebel is an active member of key dental professional organizations including the American Dental Association (ADA), the District of Columbia Dental Society, the Academy of General Dentistry, The International Congress Of Oral Implantologists and the American Academy of Clear Aligners (AACA).

Dr. Bouchebel enjoys continuing his post-doctorate education and stays up-to-date in the latest, safest and most beneficial scientific and technological developments in dentistry that best fit his dental practice and the patients he treats. He and his staff love meeting and managing new and established patients, and are always ready to answer patient questions.

Dr. Bouchebel firmly believes in 'giving back,' and has worked with various charity and community outreach organizations such as the Mission of Mercy (MoM)/VA Dental Association Foundation, the Jamaica Project and the Give Kids A Smile program in collaboration with the ADA.

Born in Beirut, Lebanon, Dr. Bouchebel is fluent in English, French and Arabic, and can speak conversational Spanish. In his free time he enjoys exercising, traveling and photography.

Dr. Bouchebel's professional philosophy is 'Dental care is extremely important to your overall health and longevity. While many people have phobias about 'the Dentist' and dentistry, after a visit here at Always Smile, DC you will leave with a new opinion of modern dentistry.'

Dr. Lievano has now retired from active dental practice and Dr. Bouchebel Acquired his Practice in 2018. Dr. Lievano began his private practice in 1989; being a much-beloved dentist, for 26 years has helped create winning smiles for thousands of patients in the DC Metropolitan Area. With retirement in mind, he recruited the services of Dr. Najib Bouchebel, and the two worked together for several years prior to Dr. Lievano retiring.
