A smile makeover in Dubai is priced treatment by treatment, not as a package. At Mint Dental Care a veneer or crown is AED 1,500 to 3,000 per tooth, in-clinic nano whitening is AED 1,500 plus 5% VAT, and Invisalign is AED 13,000 to 17,000. Eight to ten veneers therefore come to AED 12,000 to 30,000. Your consultation turns those published figures into one itemised quote.

Smile Makeover Cost in Dubai: The Short Answer
A smile makeover is a bundle. The honest way to price one is to list the published price of every treatment it contains and add them up. That is what this guide does, using the figures on our own price list and nothing else.
The published prices a makeover is built from
Every line below is a price we publish. Nothing in a makeover quote comes from a market average or a bundle discount, because we do not price that way. Anything not on this list is quoted at your consultation after we have looked at your teeth.
| Treatment | Published price (AED) |
|---|---|
| Consultation with a general dentist | 200 |
| Consultation with a specialist | 300 |
| Periapical or bitewing X-ray | 150 |
| Panoramic X-ray | 250 |
| CBCT scan | 800 to 1,200 |
| Scaling and polishing | 500 |
| Nano teeth whitening (includes scaling and polishing) | 1,500 plus 5% VAT |
| Home whitening kit | 800 |
| Internal whitening, per tooth | 300 |
| Composite filling | 400 to 800 |
| Veneer or crown, per tooth | 1,500 to 3,000 |
| Root canal treatment | 1,500 to 3,500 |
| Extraction | 600 |
| Surgical extraction | 1,000 to 3,000 |
| Dental implant | 6,000 to 9,000 |
| Braces | 11,000 to 13,000 |
| Invisalign | 13,000 to 17,000 |
Why there is no single smile makeover price
Two patients can both ask for a makeover and leave with totals that differ by AED 25,000. One wants whitening and two bonded front teeth. The other needs aligners to move the teeth, then ten veneers on top. Same request, different arithmetic.
What is smile correction cost?
Smile correction is the same idea under a different name, and it is priced the same way. If the correction is shade only, you are looking at nano whitening at AED 1,500 plus 5% VAT. If teeth need to move, Invisalign is AED 13,000 to 17,000 and braces are AED 11,000 to 13,000. If shape needs changing, each veneer or crown is AED 1,500 to 3,000.
Worked Examples That Add the Prices Up
These are not packages and they are not offers. Each one is simple addition using the published lines above, so you can see where a total comes from and swap pieces in or out for your own case.
A whitening-only refresh
Consultation at AED 200 plus nano whitening at AED 1,500 comes to AED 1,700, with 5% VAT added on the whitening. The whitening price includes scaling and polishing, so no separate hygiene line appears. This is the lightest version of a smile transformation and often the first step of a larger plan.
Four veneers across the front teeth
Consultation at AED 200, a panoramic X-ray at AED 250, and four veneers at AED 1,500 to 3,000 each give AED 6,450 to 12,450. Four teeth is a common request from patients who only want the teeth that show in a photograph changed.
Eight to ten veneers, the full front-arch look
Eight veneers at AED 1,500 each is AED 12,000. Ten at AED 3,000 each is AED 30,000. Add the AED 200 consultation and the AED 250 panoramic X-ray and the band becomes AED 12,450 to 30,450. This is the range most people mean when they search for a full smile makeover.
Straighten first, then brighten
Invisalign at AED 13,000 to 17,000 plus nano whitening at AED 1,500 plus the AED 200 consultation gives AED 14,700 to 18,700, with VAT on the whitening. Moving your own teeth and then lightening them keeps natural enamel in place instead of covering it, which is why we suggest it where the bite allows.
Braces instead of aligners
Braces at AED 11,000 to 13,000 with the same whitening and consultation come to AED 12,700 to 14,700. Fixed braces handle rotations and larger movements that aligners sometimes cannot, and they sit about AED 2,000 to 4,000 below the Invisalign line.
Replacing a missing tooth inside a makeover
The implant is AED 6,000 to 9,000. The crown that goes on it is priced separately at AED 1,500 to 3,000. With a CBCT scan at AED 800 to 1,200 and the AED 200 consultation, that single gap costs AED 8,500 to 13,400. Nothing here is bundled into another line.
Fixing a damaged tooth before the cosmetic work
A root canal at AED 1,500 to 3,500 followed by a crown at AED 1,500 to 3,000, with a periapical X-ray at AED 150 and the AED 200 consultation, totals AED 3,350 to 6,850. Treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic.
| Example plan | Published lines added | Total (AED) |
|---|---|---|
| Whitening refresh | 200 + 1,500 | 1,700 plus VAT on whitening |
| Four veneers | 200 + 250 + 4 at 1,500 to 3,000 | 6,450 to 12,450 |
| Eight to ten veneers | 200 + 250 + 8 to 10 at 1,500 to 3,000 | 12,450 to 30,450 |
| Invisalign then whitening | 200 + 13,000 to 17,000 + 1,500 | 14,700 to 18,700 |
| Braces then whitening | 200 + 11,000 to 13,000 + 1,500 | 12,700 to 14,700 |
| Implant and its crown | 200 + 800 to 1,200 + 6,000 to 9,000 + 1,500 to 3,000 | 8,500 to 13,400 |
| Root canal then crown | 200 + 150 + 1,500 to 3,500 + 1,500 to 3,000 | 3,350 to 6,850 |
Smile Makeover With Veneers in Dubai
Most makeover enquiries we receive are really veneer enquiries. The question is how many teeth, and whether veneers are the right tool at all for what you want changed.
How many veneers people usually ask for
Six veneers cover the teeth visible in a narrow smile and cost AED 9,000 to 18,000. Eight to ten cover a wider smile line at AED 12,000 to 30,000. Twelve, which some patients request for a very broad smile, works out at AED 18,000 to 36,000 on the same per-tooth price.
Veneers or bonding, and what each costs
Bonding adds material to a tooth without a lab-made shell, so it suits small chips and narrow gaps. Veneers and crowns are AED 1,500 to 3,000 per tooth. Our guide on veneers versus bonding compares how long each one holds up.
Hollywood smile cost in Dubai
A Hollywood smile is a veneer case with a specific brief: even lengths, a bright uniform shade, and a full smile line. Because it is still veneers, it is still AED 1,500 to 3,000 per tooth, so eight to ten teeth means AED 12,000 to 30,000. The name changes the design, not the price list.
Bollywood smile teeth price
Bollywood smile is a marketing label for the same work, and we price it from the same published line. Count the teeth you want treated, multiply by AED 1,500 to 3,000, and add the consultation and X-ray. If a clinic quotes a flat package figure, ask how many teeth and which material that figure assumes.
What a smile studio charges for
Clinics that brand themselves as a smile studio are selling design time alongside the restorations. That is a reasonable thing to pay for, but it should appear as its own line on your quote rather than inflate a per-tooth figure. Ours is quoted at consultation, and the veneer price stays AED 1,500 to 3,000 per tooth.
Cosmetic Dentistry Prices in Dubai, Treatment by Treatment
Cosmetic dentistry cost questions usually mean one of four things: shade, shape, position, or replacing something missing. Each has its own published price, and knowing which one you actually need is the fastest way to a realistic budget.
Average cost of cosmetic dentistry, answered honestly
We will not quote an average, because an average of whitening at AED 1,500 and a ten-veneer case at AED 30,000 describes neither patient. What we can tell you is the published cost of each component, which is the number you can actually plan around.
Dental bonding cost in Dubai
Our published figure for composite work is AED 400 to 800 for a filling. Cosmetic bonding on a front tooth takes longer and needs shade layering, so it is quoted at consultation once we see the tooth. It remains the lowest-cost way to close a small gap or rebuild a chipped edge.
Whitening at three price points
In-clinic nano whitening is AED 1,500 plus 5% VAT and includes scaling and polishing. A home kit is AED 800. Internal whitening, used when a single tooth has darkened from the inside, is AED 300 per tooth. One dark tooth may need that rather than a veneer.
Gum line and smile line correction
If your teeth look short because the gum sits low, reshaping the gum line changes the smile more than any veneer would. Gum contouring is assessed and quoted at consultation, since the amount of tissue involved varies case by case. It is often the cheapest part of a plan with the largest visual effect.
Effectiveness compared side by side
| Route | What it actually changes | Published price (AED) |
|---|---|---|
| Nano whitening | Shade only | 1,500 plus 5% VAT |
| Home kit | Shade, more gradually | 800 |
| Internal whitening | One tooth darkened from inside | 300 per tooth |
| Composite work | Small chips and narrow gaps | Filling 400 to 800; cosmetic bonding quoted at consultation |
| Veneers or crowns | Shape, shade and apparent alignment | 1,500 to 3,000 per tooth |
| Invisalign | Real tooth position | 13,000 to 17,000 |
| Braces | Real tooth position, larger movements | 11,000 to 13,000 |
| Implant plus crown | Replaces a missing tooth | 6,000 to 9,000 plus 1,500 to 3,000 |
Digital Smile Makeover Cost
A digital smile makeover is the same treatment with the design done on screen first. You see the proposed shape, length and shade before a single tooth is prepared, and you approve it.
How much does a digital smile makeover cost?
The restorations cost the same as any other veneer case, AED 1,500 to 3,000 per tooth. The digital design and preview stage is quoted at consultation, because it depends on how many teeth are being planned. We do not publish a flat digital smile design fee, and you should be wary of one quoted without a tooth count.
What the preview changes in practice
Agreeing the design before preparation reduces remakes, and a remake is the most expensive surprise in cosmetic dentistry. Our guide to digital smile design walks through what you see at that appointment.
Smile Makeover Hidden Costs
Nothing on our quote is hidden, but several lines surprise people because they expected the veneer price to be the whole story. Here is everything that can legitimately appear alongside it, with the published figure for each.
The consultation and the X-rays
A consultation with a general dentist is AED 200, or AED 300 with a specialist. A periapical or bitewing X-ray is AED 150, a panoramic is AED 250, and a CBCT scan is AED 800 to 1,200. Implant planning usually needs the CBCT; a straightforward veneer case usually does not.
Cleaning, fillings and gum work
Scaling and polishing is AED 500 as a separate treatment, though it is part of the AED 1,500 nano whitening price. A composite filling is AED 400 to 800. Gum treatment is quoted after we measure the gums, since cosmetic work placed over inflamed tissue fails early.
Root canals and extractions
If a tooth under a planned veneer is already compromised, a root canal is AED 1,500 to 3,500. An extraction is AED 600, and a surgical extraction is AED 1,000 to 3,000. These lines are not cosmetic, but they are frequently what makes a makeover last instead of fail.
Protection after the work is finished
If you grind your teeth, a night guard is the protection that keeps new porcelain intact. It is quoted at consultation after we take a scan. Skipping it is the single most common reason a makeover needs repair sooner than it should.
What Moves the Price Up or Down
Five things decide where in each published band your case lands: how many procedures, which materials, who does the work, which laboratory makes the restorations, and the condition your mouth starts in.
| Factor | How it moves your total |
|---|---|
| Number of procedures | The biggest single factor. Whitening plus two bonded teeth sits at the lighter end; rebuilding both arches with veneers, crowns and implants reaches the top. |
| Materials | Porcelain resists staining and handles light like enamel; zirconia copes with biting forces on back teeth. Both sit inside the published AED 1,500 to 3,000 per-tooth band. |
| Clinician experience and imaging | Shows in veneer margins and shade blend. 3D imaging means dimensions are measured rather than estimated, which cuts the remakes that quietly double a budget. |
| Dental laboratory | A skilled ceramist gives restorations translucency and surface texture. Laboratory fees sit inside the per-tooth price. |
| Starting oral health | Decay, gum disease or an unstable bite is treated first, adding AED 500 upward depending on what the examination finds. |
How a Smile Makeover Itemised Quote Should Look
Patients search for a smile makeover itemised quote because a single headline number tells you nothing. A quote you can act on names each treatment, each tooth count, and each published price.
What must appear on the page
Every treatment as its own line, the number of teeth beside it, the per-tooth or per-case price, any X-rays, and VAT where it applies. If two treatments are grouped into one figure you cannot tell which part you are paying for, or what you would save by dropping one.
| Line | Quantity | Price (AED) |
|---|---|---|
| Consultation, general dentist | 1 | 200 |
| Panoramic X-ray | 1 | 250 |
| Nano whitening before shade matching | 1 | 1,500 plus 5% VAT |
| Veneers, upper front teeth | 8 | 12,000 to 24,000 |
| Composite filling, lower premolar | 1 | 400 to 800 |
| Night guard | 1 | Quoted at consultation |
| Written total | 14,350 to 26,750 plus the night guard |
Questions worth asking before you sign
Ask how many teeth the figure covers, what happens to the price if one tooth turns out to need a root canal, who makes the restorations, and what a replacement costs if one chips. Clear answers to those four questions tell you more about a clinic than any brochure.
Compare quotes line by line, not total by total
A cheaper total often covers fewer teeth, skips the foundation treatment, or omits VAT. Put two quotes side by side and match the lines before you compare the bottom figures. Our veneers cost guide sets out the per-tooth detail in full.
Choosing a Smile Makeover Clinic or Dentist in Dubai
Price is only half the decision. The other half is who holds the handpiece, and whether the clinic will put its numbers in writing before you commit.
Reputation and reviews, and how to read them
A clinic’s reputation is easiest to judge from recent reviews that mention the specific treatment you want, not from the star figure alone. Mint Dental Care holds a 4.9-star patient rating. Look for reviews that describe the consultation, the pricing conversation and the follow-up, since those are what you will experience first.
Does the area of Dubai change the price?
Patients search for a smile makeover dental clinic in Bur Dubai, International City or Barsha Heights. Our prices are the same whichever neighbourhood you travel from, because they are published per treatment. We are in Barsha Heights, also called TECOM, close to the metro.
What a luxurious smile makeover plan actually includes
When people ask for a luxurious smile makeover treatment in Dubai they usually mean full-arch porcelain, a digital preview, and unhurried appointments. In published terms that is ten to twelve veneers at AED 1,500 to 3,000 each, so AED 15,000 to 36,000, plus whitening at AED 1,500 and the design stage quoted at consultation.
Keeping the plan affordable
A makeover stays affordable when it is phased. Treat the teeth that show most first, whiten natural enamel before deciding how many veneers you need, and keep back teeth in composite where the published AED 400 to 800 filling does the job. Payment plans are discussed at the front desk.
How rapid can a smile transformation be?
The rapid route is whitening and bonding, finished in one or two visits. Veneers need two to three visits across a few weeks while the laboratory works. Anything involving aligners, implants or gum healing runs over months, and no amount of urgency safely compresses bone healing.
Who should plan the case
A makeover that mixes alignment, gum work and restorations should be planned by one clinician who owns the whole sequence. At our MOHAP-licensed clinic the dentist who designs the case is the one who delivers it, with a specialist consultation at AED 300 where the case calls for it.
Is a Smile Makeover Worth the Cost?
For most patients it is, provided the plan fixes health problems as well as appearance. Teeth that are straighter and cleaner are easier to maintain, and a balanced smile supports the lips and lower face.
What you get for the money
- Decay and gum problems treated before anything cosmetic is placed
- A design you approve on screen before teeth are prepared
- Restorations shade-matched after whitening, not before
- An itemised quote built from published prices
- A review routine that keeps the result stable
When we advise against the full plan
If whitening alone would get you most of the way, we say so, and AED 1,500 replaces a five-figure quote. We also delay cosmetic work when gums are inflamed or a bite is unstable, because porcelain placed on an unsound foundation does not last.
The reason this page lists arithmetic instead of a headline figure is that a smile makeover has no single price, and any clinic quoting one without counting your teeth is guessing. Bring your photos and your questions, let us examine your teeth and gums, and you will leave with a written, itemised plan built from the same published prices you have just read.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a smile makeover cost in Dubai?
It depends entirely on the treatments in your plan. At Mint Dental Care a veneer or crown is AED 1,500 to 3,000 per tooth, so eight to ten teeth come to AED 12,000 to 30,000. A whitening-only refresh is AED 1,500 plus 5% VAT. The consultation is AED 200 and produces your written total.
What is the average cost of a smile makeover?
An average would mislead you, because the same request covers a AED 1,700 whitening visit and a AED 30,000 veneer case. The useful figure is the per-treatment price: AED 1,500 to 3,000 per veneer or crown, AED 13,000 to 17,000 for Invisalign, AED 6,000 to 9,000 for an implant.
What is smile correction cost at your clinic?
Smile correction is priced from the same list. Shade correction is nano whitening at AED 1,500 plus 5% VAT. Position correction is braces at AED 11,000 to 13,000 or Invisalign at AED 13,000 to 17,000. Shape correction is AED 1,500 to 3,000 per veneer or crown, multiplied by the number of teeth.
Are there hidden costs in a smile makeover?
Not on our quote, but there are lines people forget. The AED 200 consultation, X-rays from AED 150 to 1,200, scaling and polishing at AED 500, fillings at AED 400 to 800, and a root canal at AED 1,500 to 3,500 if a tooth needs it. All of them appear itemised before you agree.
Can I pay for a smile makeover in instalments?
Payment plans are available for larger cases, and our front desk team explains the current options at your consultation so you can match the monthly figure to your budget. The treatment prices themselves do not change, whether you pay in one go or across instalments.
How long does a smile makeover take?
A whitening and bonding refresh takes one or two visits. A veneer case takes two to three visits over a few weeks because the restorations are made in a laboratory. Cases involving Invisalign, braces or implants run across several months, and we give you the appointment count during planning.
Will the result look natural?
That is what the planning stage is for. We match shade and shape to your face, whiten before matching restorations, and design the smile digitally so you approve the proportions first. Done carefully, a makeover reads as a healthier version of your own smile rather than an obvious set of veneers.
How long do the results last?
Porcelain veneers and crowns commonly last ten to fifteen years with good care, and implants can last far longer. Whitening needs occasional top-ups, and aligner results hold only while retainers are worn. Regular check-ups and a night guard for grinding add years to the whole plan.
