Dr. med. dent.
Niusha Barahmand Pour
Owner of SMILE meets DESIGN. As a dentist, she brings together the preservation of teeth, function and aesthetic design.
About her
Dentistry and
a sense of form.
A tooth does not stand alone. Its shape, the gum line and the movement of the lips influence how a smile looks. At the same time, healthy structures and a functioning bite are the foundation of every treatment plan.
This connection shapes treatment in Dr. Niusha Barahmand Pour’s practice. In her Cologne practice, aesthetic wishes are considered alongside the dental starting point. A particular treatment is only decided on once its requirements have been assessed.
She studied dentistry at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and completed her doctorate at the University of Cologne. Further training has taken her to Geneva, London, Madrid and São Paulo, among other places.
Education & further training
The foundations of her work
The following stages describe her professional background. Treatment planning also includes assessing which steps are appropriate for each individual set of findings.
Aesthetic dentistry
APW Curriculum in Aesthetic Dentistry to the DGÄZ standard. This area of focus combines assessment of shape and colour with the planning of dental restorations.
Endodontics
Curriculum in Endodontics at Endplus Academy. Treating the inside of a tooth is one option for continuing to care for teeth that can be preserved.
Bonded anterior restorations
“Anterior Bonded Restorations” training with Prof. Pascal Magne in Geneva. The focus is on restoring front teeth and bonding materials to tooth structure.
Aesthetic treatment concepts
Bespoke Seminar with Dr. Apa in London. A further stage in her exploration of anterior aesthetics and individual practice design.
Digital planning
Digital Smile Design Residency I training in Madrid and Residency II in São Paulo; listed by the provider as a “DSD Master”. Digital analysis supports the discussion of possible changes.
Aligner treatment
Tooth position is also considered when planning restorative care. Whether clear aligners are suitable as a separate treatment step depends on the findings.
Digital Smile Design
Professional exchange
beyond the practice.
Digital Smile Design lists Dr. Barahmand Pour in its directory of DSD Masters and as a Key Opinion Leader. Her official profile lists her studies in Mainz, her doctorate in Cologne and the curricula in aesthetic dentistry and endodontics.
At the DSD Masters Meeting 2020 in Madrid, she received the “DSD Young Dentist of the Year” award. The award and her further training are part of her professional background; individual treatment decisions continue to be based on an examination.

What this means for planning
Different professional perspectives can help compare treatment options. In Smile Design , for example, information about the face, teeth and function is brought together for planning. A simulation serves as a basis for discussion.
In the practice
One concern can have
several possible approaches.
Perhaps you would like to change your tooth colour, restore an edge or preserve a damaged tooth. We discuss which options suit your situation and where their limitations lie.
Our overview of aesthetic dentistry helps explain shape, colour and tooth position. Information on preventive care, preserving teeth and restorations is available under All treatments. How consultation and design come together in the practice is described in our philosophy.
Frequently asked questions
About her profile and your first visit
Where did Dr. Barahmand Pour study?
She studied dentistry at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and completed her doctorate at the University of Cologne. Both are also listed in her official DSD profile.
What does DSD Master mean?
DSD Master is a provider designation within Digital Smile Design’s further training programme, not an academic degree. It refers to its planning and documentation methods. Whether a treatment is medically appropriate is assessed independently in each individual case.
Will the first appointment already focus on a particular method?
You can come with a specific question or an existing treatment plan. Your wishes and the examination are the starting point. These determine which further steps may be considered.
Can I also come for general dentistry?
Yes. Alongside the aesthetic focus, our services include preventive care, fillings, periodontology and root canal treatment. You can find the individual areas in the Overview.
How do I prepare for a consultation?
Feel free to write down your questions and bring any existing treatment records. Tell us about medication, relevant medical conditions and allergies. Your wishes and concerns are very much part of the conversation.
