What is a smile makeover?
A smile makeover is not a single procedure. It is a plan, built around what you would like to change and what you would like to keep, that brings together the treatments your smile actually needs, in the right order.
That might be as simple as whitening followed by composite bonding to soften a chipped edge, or as involved as straightening with clear aligners before refining shape and shade with veneers. Because each step is planned with the next in mind, the result looks balanced and natural rather than “done”.
What a smile makeover can include
Most plans combine two or three of the treatments below. Prices are starting prices at Hey Dental; your written quote follows your consultation.
| Treatment | What it does | Typical time | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| Teeth whitening | Lifts the overall shade | 1 visit (Zoom) or about 2 weeks at home | AED 1,000 home · AED 1,500 Zoom (+ VAT) |
| Composite bonding | Repairs chips, closes small gaps, refines edges | Usually 1 visit | On consultation |
| Porcelain veneers | Long-lasting change to shape and colour | 2 to 3 visits over 2 to 3 weeks | On consultation (+ VAT) |
| Invisalign® | Straightens teeth before refining them | Usually several months | AED 7,250 |
| Replacing old fillings or crowns | Refreshes dark or worn restorations | Varies | AED 600 |
Current offers bring home whitening to AED 800 and Zoom whitening to AED 1,100 (+ VAT), subject to clinical assessment. VAT applies to whitening and veneers only.
Who it suits, and when we would suggest waiting
A smile makeover may suit you if your teeth are discoloured, chipped, worn or uneven, you have small gaps or mild crowding, older fillings or crowns no longer match, or you want several things improved together.
We will suggest waiting if you have active gum disease or decay, which we treat first; if you grind heavily, until your teeth are protected; or if a single, simpler treatment would give you what you want.
How we plan your smile
- Consultation. We talk through what you would like to change, check the health of your teeth and gums, and take photos and a digital scan.
- Your plan and price. We assess tooth shape, proportion, shade, smile line and bite, then explain your options and sequence, with a written price. Digital smile design and trial mock-ups let you see the planned result first.
- Treatment, in order. Usually straightening first, then whitening, then shape. Veneers and bonding are matched to your final shade.
- Aftercare. Reviews and hygiene visits keep your result looking its best.
Smile makeover or veneers alone?
Veneers change the shape and colour of the teeth they cover. If your teeth are crowded or the overall shade is uneven, straightening or whitening first can mean you need fewer veneers, or none at all, and less of your natural tooth is changed. A makeover plan weighs those options together, so you only have the treatment that earns its place.
How much does a smile makeover cost in Dubai?
At Hey Dental, a smile makeover starts with a consultation from AED 300, where we plan your smile and give you a written quote. The total depends on which treatments you choose and how many teeth are involved: a whitening and bonding plan costs far less than a full set of porcelain veneers. Interest-free instalments are available for larger plans. Cosmetic treatment is often not covered by insurance; where part of a plan is claimable, we complete the paperwork for you.
