Beverly Hills dentists regularly perfect the smiles of social-media influencers and models. What’s curious about the popularity of Unforgettable Smile, Dr. Aamir Wahab’s cosmetic-dentistry clinic on North La Cienega, is that Wahab is set to appear in court early next year for defrauding the National Basketball Association (N.B.A.) out of more than $1 million. His current patients seem not to care that his license to practice dentistry has been put on probation since he was arrested for fraud and then quickly released on bail.
In 2015, Wahab, a bald 42-year-old from Chicago, opened Unforgettable Smile in a nondescript office building in Beverly Hills. His clientele includes well-off L.A. C-listers: singer Latoya Jackson, former cast member of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Lisa Vanderpump, busty swimsuit model Anel “Nel” Peralta Luciano, as well as a slew of celebrity hairstylists and luxury-real-estate agents.
