A porcelain veneer in Dubai costs AED 1,500 to 5,000 per tooth on one pricing page, and AED 1,500 to 3,500 in the same publisher's veneers guide. A composite veneer costs AED 800 to 1,500 per tooth. Dubai's minimum insurance plan excludes cosmetic services.
Why are there two porcelain figures?
Both come from Zavis, a UAE doctor directory that models its price ranges. Its city pricing page for Dubai gives porcelain veneers a typical price of AED 2,800, while its veneers guide gives AED 2,500 and a lower ceiling. We show both rather than pick one, because neither is a clinic's actual price list.

Most people asking about veneers mean several front teeth, not one. Eight porcelain veneers at the two typical prices come to between AED 20,000 and AED 22,400, before anything else the treatment plan includes.
Why is composite cheaper?
The two are made differently. The veneers guide sums it up as composite in one visit; porcelain made in a lab over two visits. Ask each clinic whether its porcelain price includes the lab fee and every visit.
How long a veneer lasts depends on the tooth, your bite and how it is looked after, so we do not repeat lifespan claims here. Ask your dentist what they expect in your case, and what a replacement would cost.
How is a veneer different from a crown?
A veneer covers the front surface of a tooth. A crown covers the whole visible tooth. In Dubai a crown costs AED 1,000 to 4,000, so its range overlaps with porcelain veneers rather than sitting below them. The crown guide has the detail.
Abu Dhabi
A porcelain veneer in Abu Dhabi costs AED 1,300 to 4,500 per tooth, typically AED 2,500. We have no composite figure for Abu Dhabi yet. All the city comparisons are in dental prices in Abu Dhabi.
Does insurance cover veneers?
Not on Dubai's minimum plan. Veneers are not among its listed dental services, and its exclusions say cosmetic healthcare services are excluded. If your dentist says your case is restorative rather than cosmetic, get that in writing and put it to your insurer before treatment.
Before you commit
- Ask for the price per tooth and the price for the whole plan.
- Ask whether temporary veneers are included, if your treatment needs them.
- Ask what a repair or replacement costs if one veneer chips.
- Ask whether any tooth preparation is permanent.
The estimator shows every range by city, and questions to ask before treatment covers the licence and advertising checks that matter with cosmetic work.
