Typical price in Sharjah
AED 950 – 3,600
per tooth
Porcelain veneers typically cost AED 1,800 to 4,500 per tooth in Dubai, and composite veneers AED 1,000 to 2,000 per tooth, based on published clinic prices. Most people treat 6 to 10 upper teeth, so a full smile is usually AED 12,000 to 40,000. Confirm with the clinic whether planning, mock-ups and temporaries are included. Clinics in Sharjah typically publish lower prices than Dubai; the ranges on this page are adjusted for that.
Hand-layered porcelain veneers made by a top ceramist, digital smile design with a trial mock-up, and treatment by a prosthodontist or aesthetic specialist can reach AED 4,500 to 6,000 per tooth.

What changes the price
- Material: composite is cheaper and repairable but stains and chips sooner; porcelain costs more and typically lasts 10 to 15 years or longer with good care.
- Ceramist and lab: hand-layered veneers from a renowned lab cost more than pressed or milled ones.
- Amount of preparation: minimal-prep or no-prep veneers need more skill and planning but remove less enamel.
- Number of teeth: some clinics reduce the per-tooth price for 8 or 10 veneers.
- Pre-treatment: whitening the lower teeth, gum contouring or orthodontics before veneers adds cost but often gives a better and more conservative result.
Does insurance cover it?
Veneers are classed as cosmetic and are excluded by almost all UAE health insurance plans, including Thiqa for purely aesthetic cases. An exception can occur when a veneer or crown restores a tooth damaged by trauma, and even then pre-approval is required.
Find dentists by insurance providerHow to pay less without cutting corners
- Ask whether whitening, bonding or short orthodontic treatment would solve the problem with fewer or no veneers.
- Consider composite veneers if your budget is limited, accepting that they need polishing and repairs sooner.
- Treat only the teeth that show when you smile; for many people that is 6 to 8 upper teeth, not 10 or 20.
- Be cautious about very low package prices. Aggressive preparation to 'crown' healthy teeth is a common problem with cheap veneer offers.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a full set of veneers cost in Dubai?
For 8 to 10 porcelain veneers on the upper teeth, typical published prices are AED 15,000 to 40,000. Composite veneers for the same teeth are usually AED 8,000 to 18,000.
Are composite veneers worth it?
They can be a good choice for small changes or a limited budget, and they need little or no enamel removal. Expect to have them polished regularly and repaired or replaced after roughly 4 to 8 years.
Why are veneers so much cheaper abroad?
Lower labour and rent costs explain part of it. Some low-cost offers also prepare teeth heavily and use fast lab work, which can cause sensitivity or nerve problems later. Ask exactly how much tooth will be removed.
Does insurance pay for veneers?
Almost never, because veneers are considered cosmetic. If a tooth was damaged in an accident, ask your insurer whether restorative cover applies.
