Smile Makeovers & Veneers That Wow

Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells — usually porcelain or composite — that are placed on the front of a tooth. They change the shape, size, or colour of the tooth. According to the American Dental Association, veneers are considered cosmetic dentistry and should always be placed by a licensed dentist for safe, effective results. At Proalign Veneers in Business Bay, Dubai, dental veneers are used as part of a full smile design to fix chips, gaps, stains, or uneven teeth.

Smile design is a planning step before treatment starts. It shows how a patient's full smile — tooth shape, straightness, gum line, and colour — will look, usually with a digital preview. Patients can see and approve the result before any work begins.

Most smile makeovers use veneers on the upper 6 to 10 front teeth, since these are the teeth most visible when you smile. Some patients choose to veneer both the upper and lower arches, and some only need 1 or 2 veneers to fix a single chipped or discoloured tooth. Proalign's team will confirm the right number for you during a consultation.

Porcelain veneers are a long-term treatment. A thin layer of the tooth is usually removed to fit them, so the change is hard to undo. With good care, porcelain veneers usually last 10 to 15 years, and sometimes longer. Composite veneers are less invasive and easier to fix or remove, but they usually last 5 to 7 years before needing repair or replacement. As the ADA notes, a veneer may eventually chip, crack, or loosen over time, and your dentist can re-bond, repair, or replace it when needed.

Porcelain veneers resist stains better and last longer (10–15+ years), but cost more and are made in a dental lab over 2 or more visits. Composite veneers are shaped directly on the tooth, often in a single visit, cost less, and are easier to repair — but they last a shorter time (around 5–7 years) and can stain more easily.

Dental veneers at Proalign Veneers start from AED 15,000. The exact price depends on the number of veneers, the material used, and your specific case. Book a consultation with Proalign Veneers for an exact quote based on your teeth.

Yes. Dental veneers can be paid through instalment plans of up to 48 months. For example, the AED 15,000 starting price can be spread to around AED 312.50 per month, before any applicable financing terms. Ask the Proalign team for the exact plan options during your consultation.

Most smile design cases are completed over 2 to 3 visits across 2 to 4 weeks. The first visit covers the consultation and digital smile preview, the second covers tooth preparation and temporary veneers (for porcelain), and the final visit fits the finished veneers. Composite veneers can sometimes be completed in a single visit.

Getting dental veneers is usually not painful. A local numbing injection is used if any part of the tooth needs to be removed before fitting. Most patients only feel mild sensitivity for a few days after.

Dental veneers can make mildly crooked teeth look straighter by changing their shape — but they don't actually move the teeth. For more crooked teeth, braces or clear aligners are needed first. Proalign's team can tell you during a consultation whether veneers alone will work, or if straightening should come first.

Well-made dental veneers are designed to match the shape and colour of natural teeth. A digital preview is shown beforehand, so patients can check and approve the shape and shade before anything is permanent.

You can book a consultation directly on the Proalign Veneers website, or by contacting the Business Bay, Dubai clinic. The consultation includes an oral exam and a digital smile preview so you know your options and price before committing to treatment.
