Porcelain Veneers in Dubai — Sapphire Dental Clinic, Jumeirah

What are porcelain veneers?

A veneer is a thin ceramic shell — between 0.3 and 0.7 millimetres thick — that is bonded to the front surface of a tooth. We use e.max lithium disilicate, the most aesthetic and biocompatible ceramic available in dentistry today. Done well, veneers are virtually indistinguishable from natural tooth enamel.

Sapphire's veneer cases are designed using digital smile design software, mocked up on your own teeth before any preparation, and refined until the shape, length and shade are exactly what you want. Only then do we proceed.

When veneers are right for you

Discoloured or stained teeth that don't respond to whitening
Small chips, cracks or worn edges
Mild crowding or rotation that you'd prefer not to fix with orthodontics
Gaps between teeth that are too small to close with braces
Teeth that are short, narrow or asymmetric and affect smile aesthetics

The Sapphire process

Consultation & smile assessmentWe listen carefully to what you want. Photos, digital scan, and a frank conversation about whether veneers are the right route — or whether whitening, bonding or alignment might be better.
Digital smile designWithin a week we present a digital mock-up on your own photos, so you can see the proposed result before any treatment begins. We refine until you say yes.
Wax-up & trial smileA physical trial of your new smile is bonded temporarily onto your teeth for 48 hours so you can live with it before committing.
Minimal preparation & impressionsA conservative preparation under local anaesthetic — typically removing only a fraction of a millimetre of enamel. Provisional veneers are placed while your final set is crafted.
Hand-finished bondingTwo weeks later your e.max veneers return from our master ceramist. We bond each one individually under magnification, polish, and deliver your finished smile.

Frequently asked

Will my teeth need to be filed down?

Only a fraction of a millimetre. We use a minimally invasive preparation technique that preserves as much of your natural enamel as possible. In some cases — for very thin "lumineer-style" veneers — no preparation is required at all.

How long do veneers last?

Well-made and well-cared-for e.max veneers typically last 12-15 years before they need replacing. We provide a written 5-year warranty on all veneer work.

Can I whiten my veneers later?

Veneers themselves don't change colour. If you want a brighter smile we recommend whitening your natural teeth before we match the veneer shade — your veneers will then keep that brightness for years.

Will they look natural?

That's our entire goal. Sapphire veneers are deliberately not the "Hollywood white" wall of perfect teeth — we craft subtle character, translucency and shade variation so they look like beautiful natural teeth, not dentures.
