Smile design is the process of developing a comprehensive plan to treat esthetic issues with your smile, such as a gap in the front teeth (diastema), misshapen teeth, stained teeth, crooked teeth, and any other cosmetic problems that you may have with your smile.
Dental veneers are thin layers of custom sculpted porcelain. You may also hear the term Lumineers which is a brand of porcelain sometimes used. Dental veneers are crafted to cover the front of your teeth to give a natural esthetic shade and shape to your damaged and discolored teeth.
Often digital imaging is used or models produced to show you the plan for the shape and style of teeth.
For veneers, a ceramic or porcelain is always the material of choice. Porcelain veneers repel stains and closely approximate the look and translucency of natural teeth. Veneers are also durable, with a life expectancy of between 10 and 15 years, and often longer when taken care of with meticulous hygiene.

How do I get Veneers?
Initial consultation
When getting veneers in Dubai, there will first be an initial consultation with a cosmetic dentist where your individual treatment plan will be designed. Consult your dentist and let him know how exactly you want the colour, shape, or length of your teeth to look.
Preparation
After your initial consultation, preparations will begin with the smile design. The veneers procedure is typically completed within two sessions, wherein the dentist will take impressions and place temporary restorations.
Mock-up
Your dentist will create a mock-up or wax that allows you to “try on” your new smile with temporary veneers. The dentist can also create the final result through digital smile design system. A layer of your enamel will be trimmed down to make space for the veneers.
Placement
