Aesthetic & restorative care
Cosmetic Dentistry in Abu Dhabi
Smile changes should begin with healthy teeth and gums. We assess the condition of the teeth first, then discuss conservative aesthetic and restorative options.

Digital dentistryPlanning where appropriate
Aesthetic care with a restorative foundation.Colour, shape, tooth structure, existing restorations and the bite are considered before a cosmetic treatment plan is recommended.
When to consider care
What patients commonly want to improve
Cosmetic dentistry can address different concerns, but the right treatment depends on the underlying tooth structure and oral health.
Chipped edges
Small fractures and worn edges may sometimes be restored conservatively.
Shape & proportion
Tooth shape can be reviewed in relation to the smile, gums and bite.
Small gaps
Selected spaces may be approached with restorative or orthodontic options.
Older restorations
Visible fillings, crowns or veneers can be assessed for function and appearance.
These examples are general information only. A dentist or specialist needs to assess your individual situation before recommending treatment.
Treatment
Cosmetic treatment options
The most conservative suitable option is considered first. More treatment is not automatically better treatment.
01
Professional whitening
Whitening can lighten natural tooth colour after the teeth and gums have been assessed.
02
Composite bonding
Tooth-coloured composite can be used for selected shape, edge and small restorative changes.
03
Veneers
Veneers may be considered for selected aesthetic and restorative concerns after careful planning.
04
Ceramic restorations
Crowns or other ceramic restorations may be appropriate when teeth also require structural support.

02

How we think about care
Natural-looking results start with restraint.
The aim is to improve what bothers you while respecting healthy tooth structure. Whitening, additive bonding or no treatment at all may be more appropriate than irreversible treatment in some cases.
Health firstDecay and gum disease should be addressed before cosmetic work.
Conservative optionsPreserve natural tooth structure where clinically possible.
Clear expectationsMaterials and existing restorations affect what can change.

FAQ
Cosmetic dentistry: common questions
Short answers to common questions. Your dentist can explain how the information applies to your own case.
Do I need an examination before whitening or veneers?
Yes. A dental assessment helps identify decay, gum problems, existing restorations or bite issues that may affect the plan.
Are veneers right for every cosmetic concern?
No. Veneers are one option. Whitening, bonding, orthodontics, restorative treatment or no treatment may be more appropriate depending on the teeth and your goals.
Will whitening change the colour of my crowns or fillings?
No. Existing restorations do not whiten in the same way as natural tooth structure, which is important when planning the final shade.
Can I preview proposed changes?
Digital smile planning, photographs, scans or mock-ups may be used in selected cases to support communication before restorative treatment.
How long do cosmetic restorations last?
Longevity varies with the material, tooth condition, bite, habits and maintenance. Your dentist can explain the factors relevant to your treatment.
