Old crowns in different shades
Crowns from different years and clinics rarely match each other or a new shade. Visible ones are usually remade with the veneers; see matching veneers, crowns and implants.

Few people start a Hollywood smile with untouched teeth. Long-time Umm Suqeim residents often bring old crowns, a missing tooth or teeth worn short by grinding. Here is how a full smile is planned around them.

Yes. At Creative Arts Dental & Aesthetics, 614 Jumeira St, Umm Suqeim 1, a Hollywood smile is planned tooth by tooth: veneers on teeth with good enamel, crowns on heavily filled or root-treated teeth, and an implant crown or bridge for a gap, all designed together and made by one lab to one shade. It is calculated from AED 1,250 per veneer: 10 upper from AED 12,500. Implants start from AED 4,000.

Umm Suqeim has many families who have lived in the area for years, with years of dental work to match. These are the starting points seen most at the Umm Suqeim 1 clinic.
Crowns from different years and clinics rarely match each other or a new shade. Visible ones are usually remade with the veneers; see matching veneers, crowns and implants.
A gap is restored with an implant crown or a bridge designed as part of the smile; see a smile makeover with missing teeth.
Wear often means the bite has changed. Length cannot simply be added at the front without checking how the teeth meet; see crowns or veneers for worn teeth.
It may be lightened from inside first, or covered with a crown so it does not show through. Read internal bleaching.
A Hollywood smile is a design, not one product. Each tooth gets the restoration its condition allows, and the lab makes them all to one shade.
| Tooth condition | Usual restoration | Why | How it is priced |
|---|---|---|---|
| Healthy, with good enamel | Veneer | Keeps the most tooth structure | From AED 1,250 per tooth |
| Large fillings or a weakened tooth | Crown | Covers and protects the whole tooth | In your written plan |
| Root-treated and dark | Internal bleaching then a veneer, or a crown | Stops the dark colour showing through | In your written plan |
| Missing | Implant with a crown, or a bridge | Fills the gap so the smile line is continuous | Implants from AED 4,000 per implant; the plan lists implant, crown and any graft |
| Old crown that no longer matches | New crown | Ceramic cannot be whitened to a new shade | In your written plan |
| Worn short with a changed bite | Veneers or crowns after a bite assessment, sometimes including back teeth | Restores length without overloading the front teeth | In your written plan |
The examination decides each tooth. See dental crowns, dental implants and crowns or veneers for a Hollywood smile.
The veneer part is calculated per tooth. Crowns, bridges and any root canal or graft are added in your itemised plan. GBT cleaning is listed because it is how the smile is maintained.
| Treatment | Price | Per |
|---|---|---|
| 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 |
| Veneers | From AED 1,250 | per tooth |
| Dental implant | From AED 4,000 | per implant |
| GBT cleaning | AED 1,200 | per session |

Health first, then the long waits, then the cosmetic work. Your plan sets out your own sequence.
Smile photos plus any recent X-rays or scans from your previous dentist help the dentist outline the likely order before you visit.
Before bookingTeeth, gums, old crowns and the bite are examined; a 3D CBCT scan is taken if an implant is likely.
Visit 1Gum treatment, decay, leaking fillings or root canal work comes first, because veneers and crowns need healthy foundations.
Weeks 1–4If a tooth is missing, the implant is placed in the clinic's operating room under local anaesthetic and heals for typically about 3–6 months, often with a temporary tooth.
MonthsVeneers, crowns and the implant crown are designed together and tried as a mock-up, so the shade and edges match across the smile.
After healingTeeth are prepared, the lab makes the ceramic over typically 3–5 working days, and everything is fitted and the bite checked. A night guard follows if you grind.
Final stage
Most Hollywood smiles are 10 upper teeth, from AED 12,500. The lower teeth are added, for 20 veneers from AED 25,000, when they show as you speak, or are worn, chipped or a different colour from the new upper smile.
Worn teeth change the answer. When grinding has shortened both arches, restoring only the upper teeth may leave the bite unbalanced, so the dentist checks how the teeth meet before deciding. Read veneers and your bite and lower teeth veneers.
If the lower teeth are healthy and only darker, whitening them before the upper shade is chosen is often enough.
Ceramic veneers often last 10–15 years or more with care. What fails first is usually the gum, the bonding edge or a single tooth, not the whole smile.
Professional cleaning keeps the edges and gums healthy. Guided Biofilm Therapy is a gentle option around ceramic edges.
Grinding is the main reason veneers chip. A guard protects the smile while you sleep; see night guards.
If one veneer or crown is damaged, it can be remade on its own; the ceramist matches it to the rest of the smile in person.
It depends on grinding, gums and habits. Read how long a Hollywood smile lasts.

Dr. Firas OsmanOral & Maxillofacial Surgeon & ImplantologistOral & maxillofacial surgery, implants, bone graftingYes. Visible crowns are usually replaced as part of the design so that every tooth is made together by the same lab and matches in shade and shape, because ceramic cannot be whitened to a new colour. Back crowns that do not show in your smile can often stay if they are sound. The examination decides each one.
Yes. The gap is usually restored with an implant crown, from AED 4,000 per implant, or a bridge, and designed with the veneers. An implant typically heals for about 3–6 months before its final crown, so the veneers are often fitted at the end, when every tooth can be made together. A temporary tooth fills the gap meanwhile.
Often, yes, but the bite comes first. Worn teeth usually mean the way the teeth meet has changed, so the dentist assesses it before adding length. Some cases need crowns or work on back teeth as well as veneers. A night guard after fitting protects the new smile from the grinding that wore the old one.
Ten upper veneers, from AED 12,500, are enough for many smiles. Twenty, from AED 25,000, are advised when the lower teeth show as you talk or are worn or discoloured. If the lower teeth are healthy and only darker, whitening them may be enough. Smile photos and the mock-up make the choice clear.
The implant sets the pace. After placement it typically heals for about 3–6 months, longer if a bone graft is needed. Gum and other treatment is done during that time, and the veneers, crowns and implant crown are designed and fitted together at the end. Without an implant, a straightforward case often takes a few weeks.
With regular hygiene visits, a night guard if you grind, and normal brushing and flossing. GBT cleaning at the clinic is AED 1,200 per session. If one veneer is damaged later, it can usually be remade on its own, with the ceramist matching it to the rest of your smile.
