Hollywood Smile

How it works at Paradise Dental

A Hollywood Smile is not a single procedure — it is a coordinated plan across your gums, bite, tooth color, and facial proportions. That is why we begin every case with a free first consultation on the 22nd floor of Burj Al Salam Tower, a five-minute walk from World Trade Center Metro. Your DHA-licensed cosmetic dentist takes an iTero digital scan (no impression trays), photographs your smile at rest and in full laughter, and checks gum health and bite stability with intraoral cameras. If your enamel, roots, or jaw joints raise any questions, 3D CBCT imaging gives us a definitive answer before we commit to a design.

The design phase is where the real decisions happen: veneer shape and length are matched to your lip line and face, and shade is chosen under different lighting conditions — what looks bright in a clinic chair can look very different in Dubai's harsh midday sun or a dim restaurant. You can wear a removable trial version of the design over your own teeth and live with it for a day before anything is prepared.

Are you a good candidate?

The honest answer: not everyone is, at least not immediately. You are likely a strong candidate if your gums are healthy, your bite is stable, and your concerns are mainly color, shape, or minor spacing. We will recommend a different sequence if you have:

• Active gum disease — treated and stabilized first, or veneer margins will fail early
• Heavy grinding or clenching — manageable, but the plan must include a night guard and often a stronger ceramic
• Significant crowding — a short course of clear aligners first frequently means fewer teeth need preparation later
• Untreated decay or failing old fillings — restored before any cosmetic work begins

Flagging these early is what separates a smile that photographs well for a month from one that functions well for a decade.

The treatment timeline, step by step

Most cases finish in 3–5 weeks, and we schedule the longer appointments around working hours — many of our patients commute along Sheikh Zayed Road and prefer early or evening slots. Anxious patients can discuss IV sedation with our licensed anesthesiologist for the preparation visit.

Aftercare in Dubai

Porcelain itself does not stain, but the cement line at the gum margin can pick up discoloration from daily espresso and karak if hygiene slips — a professional cleaning every six months keeps margins invisible. If we identified clenching during planning, wear your night guard; it is the single biggest factor in how long veneers last. Avoid opening packaging or biting nails with your front teeth. Your case is covered by our 12-month smile guarantee and 5-year warranty on veneers, so any issue with a veneer in that window is reviewed and resolved at the clinic.

Cost, insurance, and payment plans

A full 16-tooth Hollywood Smile at Paradise Dental ranges from AED 35,000 to AED 80,000, depending on the ceramic system, the ceramist's level, and whether preliminary work (gum treatment, whitening of teeth that will not be veneered, replacement of old fillings) is needed. UAE health insurance treats veneers as elective cosmetic treatment, so plans generally do not cover them — though any medically necessary groundwork may qualify under your policy, and we can check before you commit. Interest-free installments through Tabby, Tamara, and Postpay let you split the fee, and the full price list shows how a smaller veneer case compares if you do not need all 16 teeth treated.
