Questions about veneers and cosmetic dentistry
Clear answers to the questions Dr. Leila hears most often. If yours is not here, send a message on WhatsApp.
How much do veneers cost in Dubai?
The cost depends on how many teeth are treated, whether porcelain or composite is used, and what preparation your teeth need. After your consultation you receive a written plan with a clear quote, so you know the full cost before deciding.
Porcelain or composite veneers: which is right for me?
Porcelain lasts longer, resists stains and keeps its shine, but usually needs light preparation and two or three visits. Composite is often done in one visit with little or no drilling and is easy to repair, but needs more maintenance. Dr. Leila will recommend the option that suits your teeth, habits and goals.
How long do veneers last?
With good care, porcelain veneers often last 10 to 15 years or more. Composite veneers typically last around 5 to 7 years and benefit from regular polishing. Grinding, biting hard objects and skipping check-ups shorten their life.
Do veneers damage natural teeth?
Dr. Leila works minimally invasively. Composite veneers often need no removal of enamel, and porcelain veneers usually need only a very thin layer of reshaping. Your teeth are assessed first, and you will know exactly what is involved before you agree to treatment.
Does getting veneers hurt?
Most patients find the treatment comfortable. Local anaesthetic is used when preparation is needed, and any sensitivity afterwards is usually mild and short-lived.
I am visiting Dubai. How many visits will I need?
Composite veneers can often be completed in one longer visit. Porcelain veneers usually need two or three visits over about one to two weeks. If you are travelling, send photos of your smile on WhatsApp before you arrive so your visits can be planned around your stay.
Can I see my new smile before treatment?
Yes. With Digital Smile Design your new smile is planned on screen, and a temporary mock-up lets you see it in your own mouth before anything is final.
Will teeth whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Some people feel mild, temporary sensitivity during or after whitening. Your gums are protected, the strength of the gel is chosen for your teeth, and sensitivity usually settles within a day or two.
Can veneers be whitened?
No. Whitening works on natural enamel, not on porcelain, composite, crowns or fillings. If you would like whiter teeth overall, whitening is done before veneers so the new shade can be matched.
How do I look after my veneers?
Brush twice a day, clean between your teeth, keep regular check-ups and hygiene visits, and avoid biting very hard objects. If you grind your teeth, a night guard protects your veneers.
Do you also offer general dentistry?
Yes. Dr. Leila also provides tooth-coloured fillings, root canal treatment, scaling and root planing, extractions and laser-assisted procedures.
