Conservative plan
Professional cleaning, whitening and composite bonding on a few edges. The lowest cost and largely reversible; suits good tooth shape and position with surface problems.
Why no clinic can honestly price a makeover before examining you, what each component adds to the total, and how to read two plans side by side.
The first visit ends with a written plan listing every treatment, the teeth involved and the cost of each line. Nothing irreversible happens that day.

The cost of a smile makeover in Dubai depends on which treatments it combines, how many teeth are involved, the materials chosen and any health treatment needed first. A plan of whitening and bonding sits at a very different level from one built on veneers, crowns or implants. Creative Arts prices each component after examination, in a written, itemised plan with the alternatives listed.
"Smile makeover" names an outcome, not a procedure. Two people who both want a better smile may need completely different things: one needs whitening and two bonded edges; another needs aligners, gum contouring and eight veneers; a third needs an implant and crowns before anything cosmetic. A single advertised figure would have to describe all three, so in practice it describes none of them.
That is why the cost is built after examination, line by line. The conservative route is costed on the same plan as the more involved one, so you can see what each step adds and decide, for example, whether a makeover without veneers would meet your goal. What the treatment itself involves is explained on the smile makeover page.
Relative terms only, because the figure for each line depends on your teeth. The point is to see where the total comes from.
| Component | What moves its cost | Relative scale |
|---|---|---|
| Professional cleaning and gum health | Whether cleaning or treatment below the gum line is needed first | Lower |
| Teeth whitening | In-clinic, home trays or both; sensitivity care | Lower |
| Composite bonding | Number of teeth and how much is built up | Lower to moderate |
| Gum contouring | Number of teeth; whether bone is reshaped as well | Moderate |
| Aligners or braces | Complexity and length of treatment, and retainers | Moderate to higher |
| Ceramic veneers | Number of teeth; E-max or feldspathic; design and mock-up | Higher |
| Crowns | Material; core build-ups; a root canal if one is needed first | Higher |
| Implants | Number of implants, bone grafting, and the crown or bridge on top | Highest per tooth replaced |
| Night guard | Whether you grind or clench | Lower |

Illustrative shapes, not price tiers. Your examination decides which one, or which mixture, fits your teeth.
Professional cleaning, whitening and composite bonding on a few edges. The lowest cost and largely reversible; suits good tooth shape and position with surface problems.
Aligners to straighten, whitening, then a small number of veneers where shape is still wrong. It takes months, but usually means fewer veneers and less enamel removed.
Veneers and crowns across most visible teeth, gum contouring and replacement of missing teeth. Tooth count and materials dominate this total.
Health and alignment now, ceramic later. Each stage is listed separately, and later stages can be re-planned if your priorities change.
Most of these are clinical findings rather than choices on a menu. Each one appears on your plan where it applies.
Put the same questions to every clinic, including this one. A quote that cannot answer them is a price, not a plan.
A Hollywood Smile is the full-ceramic end of a makeover, where most visible teeth are covered with veneers or crowns, so its cost is driven mostly by tooth count and material. If that is the plan you are weighing, our Hollywood Smile cost guide covers it in detail. This page covers mixed plans, where reversible steps may replace some of the ceramic. For how long each combination takes, see the smile makeover timeline.
The dentist who writes your plan is the one who carries out the cosmetic work, so the costs reflect what they found at examination.
Because the phrase covers very different treatment. One quote may be whitening and bonding, another ten veneers, another crowns and an implant with gum work. Materials, the number of teeth and what is excluded also differ. Ask each clinic for the treatments, tooth count, materials and exclusions in writing, then compare like with like.
Not necessarily. A Hollywood Smile is the version where most visible teeth receive veneers or crowns, so it sits at the upper end. A smile makeover that relies on whitening, bonding or aligners can cost considerably less, while one that adds implants or orthodontics to ceramic work can cost more.
Often, yes. Health treatment and alignment can come first and ceramic work later, with each stage listed separately on the plan. Staging should follow the clinical order, not just the budget: whitening before shade matching, gums healed before veneers. Your dentist explains what can safely wait and what cannot.
Usually, if it meets your goal. Whitening, bonding and gum contouring cost less than ceramic and remove little or no tooth structure, though bonding needs refreshing sooner. When tooth shape or position is the real problem, a plan without veneers may need aligners instead, which takes longer.
Treatment done for appearance is usually treated as cosmetic by insurers. Some components with a clinical reason, such as replacing a broken tooth or treating gum disease, may be viewed differently. Check with your insurer directly using the itemised plan, which lists each treatment and the reason for it.
On our plans the digital smile design and mock-up appear as part of the treatment, not as an optional extra, because they are the step that protects you from an irreversible result you do not like. When comparing quotes, check whether another clinic's figure includes a mock-up at all.
For many people it is a professional clean followed by whitening, sometimes with bonding on one or two chipped edges. That combination changes colour and small shape problems at the lowest cost. Whether it is enough depends on your teeth, which the examination shows.
