Typical price in Ajman

AED 11,300 – 52,500

full set, usually 16 to 20 units

A Hollywood smile in Dubai typically costs AED 15,000 to 30,000 for a full set of composite veneers and AED 30,000 to 70,000 for porcelain or zirconia, based on published clinic prices for 16 to 20 units. Per unit, expect roughly AED 800 to 1,800 for composite and AED 1,500 to 4,000 for zirconia or porcelain. Confirm with the clinic how many teeth are included, whether they are veneers or full crowns, and how much enamel will be removed. Clinics in Ajman typically publish lower prices than Dubai; the ranges on this page are adjusted for that.

Hand-layered porcelain from a high-end lab, digital smile design with a trial mock-up, gum contouring and treatment by a prosthodontist can take a full set of 20 units to AED 80,000 to 100,000.

What changes the price

  • Number of units: a Hollywood smile is usually 16 to 20 teeth across both arches, but many people only show 8 to 10 upper teeth when they smile, so ask whether you need the full set.
  • Veneer or crown: thin veneers keep most of the tooth; full crowns on healthy teeth remove a large amount of enamel and cannot be undone. Some low-cost packages use crowns because they are quicker to fit.
  • Material: composite is cheaper and repairable but stains and chips within a few years; zirconia is strong but can look flatter; lithium disilicate and feldspathic porcelain look the most natural and cost the most.
  • Lab and ceramist: hand-layered work from an established lab costs more than milled or pressed units made in-house.
  • Pre-treatment: gum disease, old fillings, root canal work or crooked teeth may need treating first, which adds cost and time but protects the result.
  • Clinic location: clinics in Jumeirah, DIFC and Downtown tend to publish higher package prices than clinics in Deira, Karama or Al Nahda.

Does insurance cover it?

A Hollywood smile is cosmetic and is excluded by UAE health insurance plans, including premium plans with dental cover. If one or two of the teeth need a crown for a medical reason such as a fracture or a large failed filling, your insurer may contribute towards those specific units with pre-approval. Get the clinic to itemise those teeth separately.

How to pay less without cutting corners

  • Ask whether whitening, bonding or a short course of aligners would get most of the result with fewer or no veneers.
  • Treat only the teeth that show in your widest smile; for many people that is 8 to 12 units, not 20.
  • Consider composite for a first smile makeover if you are young or on a budget, accepting that it needs polishing and repairs sooner.
  • Compare itemised quotes that state the material, the lab, whether each unit is a veneer or a crown, and how many follow-up and adjustment visits are included.
  • Be cautious about very low package prices or one-week offers. Filing healthy teeth down for crowns is the most common reason people later need root canals and replacements.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a Hollywood smile in Dubai?

Typical published prices are AED 15,000 to 30,000 for 16 to 20 composite veneers and AED 30,000 to 70,000 for porcelain or zirconia. The number of teeth and whether they are veneers or crowns change the total the most.

What is the difference between a Hollywood smile and veneers?

There is no clinical difference. Hollywood smile is a marketing term for veneers or crowns on most of the visible teeth, usually both arches, often in a very white shade. You can choose a more natural shade and fewer teeth.

Will my teeth be shaved down?

Porcelain veneers usually remove 0.3 to 0.7 mm of enamel from the front of the tooth, and some no-prep or composite options remove almost none. Full crowns remove far more. Ask the dentist to show you on the mock-up how much will be removed from each tooth.

Composite, porcelain or zirconia: which is best?

Composite costs least and can be repaired, but typically lasts 4 to 8 years. Porcelain such as E.max looks the most natural and often lasts 10 to 15 years or longer. Zirconia is very strong and suits people who grind, but it can look more opaque on front teeth.

Can a Hollywood smile be reversed?

Composite veneers placed without preparation can usually be removed. Once enamel has been removed for porcelain veneers or crowns, those teeth will always need a covering, so the decision is permanent.

Does insurance cover a Hollywood smile?

No. It is treated as cosmetic. Insurers may contribute towards an individual crown that is medically needed, with pre-approval.
