Porcelain veneers are custom-made, wafer-thin shells of dental ceramic that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth to improve their appearance. They can correct a range of cosmetic issues including discolouration, chips, gaps, minor misalignment, and uneven tooth shapes. Each veneer is individually crafted to match the desired colour, shape, and size. The process usually takes two appointments. At the first visit, a small amount of enamel (typically 0.3-0.7mm) is removed from the front of each tooth to make room for the veneer. Impressions or digital scans are taken, and temporary veneers are placed. The permanent veneers are fabricated in a laboratory, then bonded to your teeth at the second appointment using a strong dental adhesive. Modern veneer materials like E-max (lithium disilicate) and layered porcelain offer outstanding aesthetics with excellent durability. Veneers are a popular choice for patients who want a significant cosmetic improvement without the more extensive preparation required for crowns.

You'll typically need to stay 5-8 days in Dubai. Most treatments can be completed in a single trip.
Most patients get veneers on their upper front 6-10 teeth, as these are the most visible when smiling. Your dentist will recommend the right number based on your smile line and goals.
Porcelain veneers are made in a lab, last longer (10-15 years), resist staining better, and look more natural. Composite veneers are applied directly in one visit, cost less, but typically last 5-7 years and may stain over time.
Not if done well. A skilled cosmetic dentist will match the shade and shape to look natural. You choose the shade — it can be bright white or a more natural off-white, depending on your preference.
Dubai dental prices are typically 30-50% lower than the UK for equivalent treatments, though the savings are not as dramatic as Turkey or Hungary. The value proposition is luxury facilities, internationally trained dentists, and a premium patient experience at a lower cost than home.
