Cheap vs Premium Veneers: What's the Difference?

Dubai has become a hub for dental tourism, with many clinics offering veneers at vastly different price points. Understanding the difference between cheap and premium veneers can save you from costly mistakes.

Material Quality

Cheap Veneers:

Lower-grade porcelain or composite
Inconsistent color and translucency
Prone to staining and chipping
May look artificial or "too white"

Premium Veneers:

High-quality lithium disilicate or feldspathic porcelain
Natural translucency mimicking real teeth
Superior color stability and durability
Custom-crafted for your unique smile

The True Cost

While cheap veneers may seem attractive initially, they often require replacement within 3-5 years. Premium veneers can last 15-20 years or more with proper care.

Laboratory Quality

Premium veneers are crafted by master ceramists who spend hours perfecting each veneer. Cheap veneers are often mass-produced with minimal customization.

The Preparation Process

Premium veneer procedures involve Digital Smile Design, mock-ups, and minimal tooth preparation. Cheap veneers often require aggressive tooth reduction that can't be reversed.
