Treatment
Cosmetic Dentistry in Dubai
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of the smile while also considering the health, function, balance, and harmony of the teeth. Depending on a patient’s concerns and goals, cosmetic treatment may involve veneers, teeth whitening, composite bonding, crowns, gum contouring, teeth reshaping, gap closure, Digital Smile Design, or a combination of treatments.
Dr. Sawsan Awartani takes a personalized approach to cosmetic dentistry, carefully evaluating the teeth, gums, bite, facial features, and desired result before recommending treatment. The goal is not to create the same smile for every patient, but to develop a natural-looking result that complements the individual.
With more than 14 years of experience in dentistry and a professional career across Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Dubai, Dr. Sawsan has experience providing a range of cosmetic and aesthetic dental treatments based on each patient’s needs.
Concerns cosmetic dentistry may address
Patients ask about cosmetic treatment for many different reasons. Some are concerned with a single tooth, while others would like to improve how the smile looks as a whole.
- Discoloration or a shade that no longer matches the rest of the smile
- Chipped, worn or uneven tooth edges
- Differences in tooth shape, size or proportion
- Small gaps or spacing between teeth
- Asymmetry between one side of the smile and the other
- Gum levels that make teeth appear short or uneven
- Older fillings or restorations that have changed in appearance
How treatment is planned
Cosmetic treatment begins with an assessment rather than a procedure. The condition of the teeth, gums, bite and any existing restorations is reviewed first, because cosmetic work is planned on a healthy foundation.
Dr. Sawsan then discusses what the patient would like to change and explains which options may be suitable, including what each approach can and cannot achieve. Where more than one option exists, the more conservative approach is considered wherever it is appropriate for the case.
Points worth considering
- Suitability differs between patients — the same treatment is not right for every smile.
- Existing dental health concerns are usually addressed before cosmetic treatment begins.
- Some treatments alter tooth structure permanently, so planning matters.
- Cosmetic results still require ongoing oral hygiene and regular dental care.
FAQ
Cosmetic Dentistry — common questions
What treatments are included in cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry covers a range of treatments rather than one procedure. Depending on the case it may involve veneers, teeth whitening, composite bonding, crowns, gum contouring, teeth reshaping, gap closure, or Digital Smile Design. Many cosmetic plans combine more than one treatment.
Is cosmetic dentistry only about appearance?
Appearance is the main reason patients seek cosmetic treatment, but the health and function of the teeth still have to be considered. Factors such as the bite, gum condition, enamel and existing restorations influence what can be done and how long a result is likely to hold up.
How do I know which cosmetic treatment is right for me?
This is decided after an examination rather than in advance. Dr. Sawsan Awartani assesses the teeth, gums, bite and facial features, discusses what you would like to change, and explains the options that may be appropriate for your particular case.
Does cosmetic treatment always involve altering the teeth?
Not always. Some treatments, such as whitening, do not remove tooth structure. Others, such as certain veneer or crown treatments, may require preparation of the tooth. The amount of change needed depends on the treatment chosen and the condition of the teeth.
How long does a cosmetic treatment plan take?
It depends entirely on what is involved. A single treatment may be completed in one or a small number of visits, while a more comprehensive plan involving several procedures is carried out in stages. A timeline is discussed once the plan has been agreed.
