Whitening before veneers
If you want the teeth that stay natural to be lighter, whiten first so the veneer shade is chosen to match. Sensitivity afterwards is usually temporary. See teeth whitening.

Creative Arts has one clinic, at 614 Jumeira St in Jumeirah 3, and no branch in the Marina. Many Marina and JBR patients are in Dubai for months rather than years, so this page is about fitting veneers into a shorter stay.

Yes. Creative Arts Dental & Aesthetics has one clinic, at 614 Jumeira St, Jumeirah 3, and no branch in the Marina or JBR. Veneers start from AED 1,250 per tooth, so a Hollywood smile of 10 upper veneers starts from AED 12,500 and 20 veneers from AED 25,000. A straightforward case is usually four or five visits over about two weeks, which can fit a seasonal stay or a short contract.

Many people in the Marina and JBR rent for a season, are on a short contract or are staying with family for the winter. Porcelain veneers fit into that when the plan is built around three fixed points: the trial smile you approve, the lab time after preparation (typically 3–5 working days, and Creative Art Dental Lab is closed on Sunday), and a review once the veneers are bonded.
What does not fit a very short stay: treatment the teeth need first, such as gum care, a root canal or replacing decayed fillings, and leaving Dubai while still wearing temporary veneers. If you have less than about two weeks, composite bonding or whitening may be the sensible choice for this stay, with porcelain planned for a return.
A full Hollywood smile follows the same steps as a few veneers; more teeth mean a longer preparation appointment, not more trips.
A typical sequence for a straightforward case. Examination can change it, so treat it as an outline, not a promise.
| When | Visit | What happens | Plan around it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Before booking | WhatsApp photos | Three smile photos and what you want to change; the dentist suggests options and how many teeth are involved | No appointment needed |
| Early in your stay | Consultation and smile design | Examination, any X-rays needed, scan and a digital design | Ask for examination, X-rays and scan in one visit |
| A few days later | Trial smile | A mock-up of the design over your own teeth to judge length, shape and shade | Take photos or bring someone whose opinion you trust |
| Soon after approval | Preparation and temporaries | Minimal preparation under local anaesthetic, a scan, then temporary veneers | The longest appointment; book a morning |
| Typically 3–5 working days later | Fitting | Try-in, shade check, bonding and bite adjustment | The lab is closed on Sunday; keep the next day free |
| A few days after fitting | Review | Gums, edges and bite checked; a night guard if you grind | Can be your last visit before you leave |
More detail in the veneers procedure, step by step and the planning guide for visitors.
The honest answer depends on your dates as much as your teeth.
The same prices apply to residents and visitors. The final figure depends on the material for each tooth (E.max, feldspathic or composite) and the number of teeth, and is written in your plan; the veneers cost guide explains the difference.
| 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 |
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.

Often repaired with bonding in one visit; a veneer or crown when more tooth is missing. Read about a chipped or broken tooth.
If you play padel, rugby or other contact sports, ask about a mouthguard at fitting; the sports mouthguard guide explains the options.
Flying after a veneer fitting is not usually a problem; surgery such as an extraction is different. See flying after dental treatment.

Visit 1After the review you get written aftercare; the veneers aftercare guide covers the first weeks.
Last visitKeep the review appointment before you fly; it is when edges and bite are checked. If a veneer comes off later, keep it in a small container, do not glue it back, and send the clinic a photo during opening hours. See what to do if a veneer falls off, or contact the clinic.
Dr. Duaa Emran, Cosmetic Dentist, focuses on veneers and smile design with a minimal-preparation approach. Dr. Somar Dahdal works on veneers and smile makeovers; Dr. Khalid Saeed and Dr. Kinan Bonni plan full smiles and cases that also need crowns or implants. The ceramic is made by Creative Art Dental Lab in the same building. Patients from other neighbourhoods are covered on the Dubai areas page.
For a straightforward case, usually yes. Veneers typically take four or five visits over about two weeks: consultation and design, trial smile, preparation, fitting after 3–5 working days of lab time, and a review. Six weeks leaves room for treatment the teeth may need first. Send photos and your dates on WhatsApp so the dentist can say whether that is realistic.
No. Creative Arts has one clinic, at 614 Jumeira St, Jumeirah 3, Umm Suqeim 1, open daily 10:00–20:00. Patients living or staying in the Marina and JBR come to that address for every appointment. There is no other branch in Dubai or any other emirate.
No. Veneers start from AED 1,250 per tooth for everyone, and a Hollywood smile is calculated from that: 10 upper veneers from AED 12,500 and 20 veneers from AED 25,000. The material and the number of teeth set the final figure, which is written in your plan before you agree to anything.
Yes. After preparation you wear temporary veneers shaped from the design you approved, so you are not seen with prepared teeth. They are weaker than the final ceramic: avoid biting hard foods with your front teeth, and message the clinic if one loosens. They are worn for the lab time, typically 3–5 working days.
Usually yes. Swimming is fine, and the local anaesthetic wears off within a few hours. Some sensitivity to cold for a few days is common. Avoid biting very hard things such as ice or nut shells with veneered teeth, and if the bite feels high, message the clinic so it can be adjusted at the review.
Not necessarily. If shape and alignment already suit you, in-clinic whitening, from AED 699, is a single appointment and keeps your enamel as it is. Veneers make sense when you also want to change shape, length or gaps, or when old fillings or crowns would not whiten. The consultation compares both.
