Veneers are thin, custom-made shells of porcelain, ceramic or composite resin that are bonded to the front of your teeth to change their colour, shape, size or length. A "Hollywood smile" usually means a set of veneers across the teeth that show when you smile, designed to look bright and even. At 7 Dimensions Medical Center (7DMC) our dentists plan veneers and smile makeovers at our Jumeirah (Umm Suqeim 3) and Al Barsha (Arjan) branches, for adults with healthy teeth and gums who want to improve stained, chipped, worn or uneven teeth.
A veneer covers the visible front surface of a tooth. Porcelain and ceramic veneers are made in a dental laboratory from impressions or a digital scan, then bonded to the teeth with a strong dental adhesive. Composite veneers are shaped directly on the tooth in tooth-coloured resin, usually in one visit. To make room for a natural-looking veneer, a thin layer of enamel (often a fraction of a millimetre) is usually reshaped. That change cannot be undone, so the tooth will always need a covering afterwards. Some "no-prep" or minimal-prep veneers, such as Lumineers, need little or no reshaping in suitable cases.
| Type | What it is | Often chosen for |
|---|---|---|
| Porcelain or E.max ceramic veneers | Lab-made, thin and strong, stain resistant | A long-lasting, natural-looking result |
| Composite veneers | Resin shaped directly on the tooth | A lower-cost option, often in one visit |
| Lumineers or minimal-prep veneers | Very thin porcelain with little reshaping | Suitable small or narrow teeth |
| Hollywood smile (smile makeover) | A planned set of veneers or crowns across the smile | Changing the overall colour and shape of the smile |
Veneers may suit you if you:
They may not be suitable, or may need to wait, if you:
Composite veneers are usually done in one longer visit, without a lab stage.

Dr. Juliana is a fantastic dentist who has taken great care of me the last few weeks, going above and beyond to accommodate all of the unexpected dental work (composite fillings and porcelain crowns) that I needed completed in such a short space of time. She is very professional, kind and has a lovely calming approach which made me feel very comfortable in her care…Google review · 7DMC Al Barsha
Mashallah, a beautiful, elegant, and clean medical center, and the staff are very friendly. I saw Dr. Naseed and had veneers done by him, and the result was more than wonderful. Thank you.Google review · 7DMC Jumeirah
Talk to our team at Jumeirah or Al Barsha. We will answer your questions and help you choose the right next step.
You see the new shape and shade as soon as your veneers are fitted, and the gums around them settle over the following days. With good care, porcelain veneers often last 10 to 15 years and composite veneers 4 to 8 years, after which they may need repairing or replacing. Results vary from person to person and depend on your bite, habits and home care.
Veneers are a dental treatment with real trade-offs. Reshaping enamel is irreversible, so the teeth will always need veneers or crowns. You may have sensitivity for a while after preparation. Veneers can chip, crack or come loose, especially with grinding, and may need repair or replacement over the years. The gums at the edge of a veneer can become irritated if cleaning is difficult, and composite veneers can stain at the edges over time. Rarely, a prepared tooth becomes inflamed and needs root canal treatment. Your dentist explains the risks for your teeth at your consultation.
The cost of veneers in Dubai usually ranges from AED 500 to AED 3,500 per tooth, depending on the material, the number of teeth and the clinic. Typical ranges: Composite veneer, per tooth, AED 500 to AED 1,200; Porcelain or E.max veneer, per tooth, AED 1,000 to AED 3,500; Hollywood smile, full set (16 to 20 teeth), AED 8,000 to AED 40,000. These are typical market prices across Dubai clinics, not a 7DMC price list. At 7DMC, your exact price is confirmed at your consultation, before any treatment.
It is a smile makeover, usually a set of veneers or crowns across the teeth that show when you smile, planned to look bright, even and in proportion with your face.
Porcelain and E.max veneers are stronger, resist stains and last longer. Composite veneers cost less and are quicker, but chip and stain more easily. Your dentist will advise which suits your teeth and budget.
Lumineers are a brand of very thin porcelain veneer that needs little or no reshaping in suitable cases. Not every tooth is suitable for them.
Most veneers need a thin layer of enamel reshaped, which is irreversible. With good care the tooth underneath usually stays healthy, but it will always need a covering.
With good care, porcelain veneers often last 10 to 15 years and composite veneers 4 to 8 years.
7DMC offers veneers and Hollywood smile treatment at two branches: Jumeirah (Umm Suqeim 3), opposite Jumeirah Beach Hotel, and Al Barsha (Arjan, Al Barsha South), both with parking.
