- Before
Photos and examination of the starting point.
- Design and mock-up
The new smile is designed on the face and tried in the mouth before any tooth is prepared.

The finished smile.
Before: the situation
The before photos show brown staining in the spaces between the upper front teeth, running from the gum line towards the biting edges. The upper teeth are yellowed and uneven in shade, several edges are chipped or worn at different heights, and in one angled view a tooth towards the back of the smile is clearly greyer than the rest.
What was wrong, and why it matters
Brown lines between front teeth can come from stain building up where the teeth touch, from the edges of old fillings, or from decay starting between the teeth. Because the cause can be cosmetic or structural, the teeth need to be examined, and any decay treated, before a cosmetic restoration covers them.
Chipped, worn edges add a second issue: they shorten the teeth unevenly, so the smile line looks ragged, and thin edges keep chipping under normal biting. A tooth that has turned grey stands out against lighter neighbours and often needs its own assessment, since a darker tooth can show through a thin restoration.
The solution
Shahed was treated with porcelain veneers at Creative Arts. The after photos show the upper and lower teeth in one bright white shade, with the brown lines between the front teeth no longer visible. The edges are now smooth and level, and the angled views show the same shade carried towards the back of the smile, so the grey tooth no longer stands out.
How a case like this is planned at Creative Arts
Examination of the teeth and the stained spaces between them before any cosmetic work
Digital smile design to set the shade, edge line and how far back the new teeth extend
A mock-up over the patient's own teeth to preview and adjust the proposed smile
A written, itemised plan with the treatment and its cost, given after examination
Porcelain veneers made at Creative Art Dental Lab, in the same building, from the approved design
Fit, bite and shade checked at the fitting appointment
After: the result
Shahed's smile now has clean, even surfaces with no stain between the teeth, smooth edges and one shade across both arches. A short video of her finished smile is published with this case.

Questions about this kind of case
Are brown-stained spaces between front teeth checked for decay before porcelain veneers?
They should be. Brown lines can be surface stain, leaking old fillings or decay between the teeth, and only an examination, with X-rays where needed, shows which. Decay is treated first, because a veneer placed over it would hide a problem that keeps growing. At Creative Arts in Dubai this check comes before the smile design, and the findings shape the written plan.
Can porcelain veneers hide one grey tooth further back in the smile?
Often, but it depends on how dark the tooth is and why it changed colour. A thin veneer may let some greyness show through, so the dentist may suggest a different restoration for that tooth, or other treatment first. The tooth is assessed at examination, and the shade is checked across the whole smile on the mock-up before the veneers are made at the dental lab in the same building at Creative Arts.
