Much dental work in long-established neighbourhoods was done years ago, sometimes abroad. Common reasons to ask about it:
Older ceramic can look flat beside natural teeth or show a line at the gum. See redoing veneers that look unnatural.
Often a metal base showing as the gum recedes; sometimes a sign of decay. See a dark line around a crown.
Composite picks up colour over the years. Replacing the fillings may be enough; see replacing old front fillings.
Grinding shortens front teeth and ages a smile. The cause is checked first; see worn teeth and night guards.
Length, shape and colour change with age. See a smile makeover for mature smiles.
From the most conservative option to the most involved. Sound, good-looking dental work does not need replacing just because it is old.
| What you have now | Often enough | When more is needed | Read more |
|---|---|---|---|
| Composite bonding with stained edges | Polishing or repairing the bonding | Re-bonding, or veneers if it stains or chips repeatedly | Composite bonding |
| Discoloured front fillings | New tooth-coloured fillings | Veneers when several fillings sit on the same front teeth | Old front fillings |
| One old veneer that no longer matches | Replacing that veneer, matched to the others | Replacing the set if all of them have aged | Veneer replacement |
| A crown with a dark edge | Leaving it, if it fits well and the gum is healthy | A new crown if there is decay, a poor fit or metal showing | Dental crowns |
| A full set of older veneers | Professional cleaning and polishing | A new design and set if they are chipped, leaking or look unnatural | Hollywood smile |
X-rays are checked before any advice; see decay under veneers. Before and after photos are in the smile gallery.

A mouth with older dental work is usually a mix: a crown here, an implant there, natural teeth between them. New veneers have to sit beside all of it. Crowns and veneers do not whiten, so if you want lighter teeth overall, the natural teeth are whitened first and the new ceramic is matched to the result; see why crowns and veneers do not whiten.
The ceramist at Creative Art Dental Lab, in the same building, can see your teeth in person under the same light as your dentist, which helps when one new veneer has to match an older crown. Sometimes the honest advice is to replace an old crown at the same time so the shade is consistent; the guide to matching veneers, crowns and implants explains when.
The same prices apply whichever area you live in; the veneers cost guide explains how the final figure is reached.
| Treatment | Price | Per |
|---|---|---|
| Veneers | From AED 1,250 | per tooth |
| Hollywood smile, 10 upper veneers (example) | From AED 12,500 | 10 teeth × AED 1,250 |
| Hollywood smile, 20 veneers upper and lower (example) | From AED 25,000 | 20 teeth × AED 1,250 |
| Teeth whitening | From AED 699 | per treatment |
| GBT cleaning | AED 1,200 | per session |
Starting prices at Creative Arts, 614 Jumeira St, Jumeirah 3, Dubai. Your exact price, with the material and number of teeth, is written in your plan after examination.
Replacement is planned tooth by tooth, and some of it only becomes clear once old work is off.
A straightforward replacement usually takes four or five visits over about two weeks. Temporaries are usually fitted at the same visit the old work comes off, so you are not left without front teeth.
Smile photos in daylight, roughly when the old work was done, and any X-rays you have. The dentist can suggest options; a diagnosis needs an examination.
Before bookingEach old restoration is checked for fit, decay and gum health.
Visit 1A digital smile design and a mock-up over your current teeth, so you see the new shape and shade first.
Visit 2Old work is removed under local anaesthetic, the teeth are prepared and scanned, and temporaries are fitted.
Visit 3After lab time of typically 3–5 working days (the lab is closed on Sunday), the new veneers or crowns are tried in, bonded and the bite is checked.
Visit 4Gums, edges and bite are checked once everything has settled.
Visit 5Many people who work in Al Quoz are photographed or filmed. Ceramic that looks bright in the mirror can look flat under studio lighting, so ask for the trial smile to be photographed with and without flash. See choosing a tooth shade or the veneer questions page; the contact page has the map and phone, and patients from across Dubai covers other areas.
Dr. Duaa Emran, Cosmetic Dentist, focuses on veneers and smile design with a minimal-preparation approach, and Dr. Somar Dahdal also plans veneers and smile makeovers. Dr. Khalid Saeed and Dr. Kinan Bonni plan larger cases that mix veneers, crowns and implants, and Dr. Marina Antoniuk treats crowns and root canals under old restorations using a dental microscope.

Veneers are replaced when they chip, leak at the edges, have decay underneath, or no longer look right to you. An examination with X-rays shows whether they are still sound. If only one has failed, it can often be replaced and matched to the others.
The line is often the metal base of an older crown showing as the gum recedes, and sometimes decay at the edge. If the crown fits well and the gum is healthy, you can leave it. If it bothers you, or there is decay, a new all-ceramic crown is made and matched to the neighbouring teeth.
Often, yes. One new veneer is shaded to match the others, which is a demanding job; the ceramist in the same building can see your teeth in person to help. If the remaining veneers have aged or yellowed at the edges, the dentist will explain whether replacing more of them gives a better match.
No. Creative Arts has one clinic, at 614 Jumeira St, Jumeirah 3, Umm Suqeim 1, Dubai, open daily 10:00–20:00, with Creative Art Dental Lab in the same building. Patients from Al Quoz, Al Wasl, Al Safa and Al Manara come to this one address.
New veneers start from AED 1,250 per tooth, so 10 upper veneers start from AED 12,500. Removing the old ones, and any treatment needed underneath, is listed tooth by tooth in your written plan after examination. If something unexpected is found, the plan is updated in writing before extra work is done.
The clinic is open daily 10:00–20:00, so the consultation, trial smile and review can sit at the start or end of the day. Preparation and fitting take longer, so a day off or a weekend suits them better.
No. Temporaries are usually fitted at the same visit the old veneers are removed and worn until the new ceramic is ready, typically after 3–5 working days of lab time. They are not as strong, so avoid biting hard foods with them.
Creative Arts has a single clinic on Jumeira Street (Jumeirah Beach Road). Ask about parking when you book.
