Composite veneers in Dubai — a conservative smile upgrade
Composite veneers suit patients who want to improve chips, small gaps or uneven edges without committing to porcelain — or who want to trial a new smile before deciding.
Composite veneers are tooth-coloured resin layered directly onto the teeth and sculpted in one visit. They are conservative, repairable and lower in cost than porcelain, but stain sooner and usually need polishing or refreshing over time.
Key facts
- Usually one visit
- Minimal or no enamel removal
- Repairable
- Needs periodic polishing
How composite veneers are made
After shade matching, resin is bonded and shaped tooth by tooth, then polished. Little or no enamel is removed.
Composite or porcelain?
Porcelain resists staining and lasts longer; composite is quicker, reversible in many cases and easy to repair. See our comparison page for detail.
Caring for composite veneers
Polish at each hygiene visit, limit dark drinks and smoking, and avoid biting hard objects.
Composite bonding shapes tooth-coloured resin directly onto the tooth to repair chips, close small gaps or even out edges. It usually needs little or no drilling and is completed in a single appointment.

Like many people, I don't enjoy the dentist. For many years I avoided visits out of fear. I found Manhal 15 years ago, and he is a wonderful dentist. Calming presence. Excellent implantology as well as other dental work. I have recommended him personally to many friends, and will continue to do so. I just hope he doesn't ever retire. When I have been overseas with dental problems, I have flown back to Dubai specifically to see him. Could not imagine ever going to another dentist.this was my first visit to Dr Manhal after recomendation from my husband, i needed his consultation after i visited more than one doctor in Lebanon with no luck, i am glad i visited him, he is very professional the clinic is very clean with great staffAmazing service and very friendly team I'm very happy with my dental implant results with Dr.Manhal ❤️
