Porcelain Veneers
Ultra-thin porcelain shells bonded to the front of your teeth to change colour, shape, or length. We design each one individually — with a digital preview before any tooth is touched, so you see the result before we begin.
No single smile suits everyone. We design every case around your features — your face, your lips, your skin tone — never from a template. Veneers are an option, cosmetic bonding is an option, Icon is an option, whitening is an option. What matters is that it is the right option for you.
Cosmetic dentistry combines procedures (veneers, whitening, gum contouring, digital smile design) to improve smile aesthetics. At AQUA Dent Clinics in Jeddah, every treatment starts with a 3D digital preview on Romexis that shows the result before any procedure begins.

Cosmetic treatment does not always mean veneers — many cases are solved with a simpler, less costly procedure. We walk you through every option before you choose.
Ultra-thin porcelain shells bonded to the front of your teeth to change colour, shape, or length. We design each one individually — with a digital preview before any tooth is touched, so you see the result before we begin.
Treatment for white spots left by orthodontics or early decay — no drilling, no anaesthetic. A modern technique that infiltrates the spot with a specialised resin so it disappears visually.
A fast restoration using tooth-coloured composite — to close small gaps, repair chips, or reshape a tooth with no reduction and no impression.
In-clinic whitening in a single session, plus a home system with custom trays for maintenance. Directly supervised to avoid excess sensitivity.
A 3D digital scan plus facial photography → a digital model that shows the outcome before any intervention. You decide before we lift a single instrument.
For cases that need more than one treatment — orthodontics first, then veneers, sometimes with cosmetic gum work. A multidisciplinary plan led by Dr. Jamil with the AQUA team.
Cosmetic dentistry is not only an aesthetic decision — it is a medical one. Before we begin, we verify gum health, a sound bite, and the absence of active decay.
Four stages — taking anywhere from a week to several months depending on the case.
A thorough exam, imaging, and a conversation about your goals — 45 minutes with a cosmetic specialist.
We send you a 3D preview of the proposed smile — approve it, request changes, or choose not to proceed.
One or more sessions depending on the plan — with written aftercare notes following every visit.
A review visit after one week, then every six months — to make sure the result stays stable over the long term.
Mild sensitivity for 24–48 hours. Avoid pigmented drinks (coffee, dark tea, wine, turmeric) for 48 hours. Maintain results with a gentle whitening toothpaste 2× per week.
A temporary veneer is fitted for 10–14 days until the final lab work is ready. Slight thermal sensitivity is normal. Avoid chewing very hard foods.
24 hours for the bonding agent to fully cure. No food restrictions afterward. A night guard is recommended if you grind your teeth — protects the veneer edge.
No recovery time. You can return to normal eating immediately. The bonding can be polished every 6–12 months to keep its luster.
At the first consultation you receive a written, signed quote for each treatment plan — number of sessions, materials, technicians and lab, warranty period, and installment options. No surprise costs later.
We accept: cash, Visa, Mastercard, Mada, Apple Pay, and MyFatoorah. Installment plans up to 12 months are available through MyFatoorah on most treatment plans.
Insurance policy: AQUA does not bill insurers directly. We prepare all receipts, treatment reports, and X-rays in the standard format your insurer accepts so you can submit a reimbursement claim yourself.
10–15 years
Replace if debonded, chipped, or if the underlying tooth shade changes. Maintenance: professional cleaning every 6 months, a night guard if you grind, and avoid opening bottles with your teeth.
5–7 years
Polished every 6–12 months. Mild discoloration over time (similar to a natural tooth). Lower cost than veneers and less invasive.
1–3 years
Depends on your habits. Coffee, dark tea, smoking, and turmeric accelerate restaining. An annual touch-up session maintains the result.
5+ years
With no drilling and no bonding layer, the result is essentially permanent. The surrounding enamel may shift shade naturally over time.

Modern veneers require removing a very thin layer of enamel (less than half a millimeter in most cases), and some ultra-thin veneer techniques require almost no removal at all. When done correctly, the underlying tooth stays intact under the veneer for decades.
Anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on diet, drinks, and smoking habits. We make custom take-home trays for re-activation every 6–12 months without needing a full in-clinic session.
Icon is for surface white spots only — it treats them visually without drilling. Cosmetic bonding is composite repair for small fixes. Veneers are for larger changes in shape or full tooth color. The right choice is determined by the exam and your goals — this is what you see explained in Dr. Jamil Aref's Instagram and TikTok content.
Yes. We use Digital Smile Design — 3D scanner and facial imaging produce a digital model shown to you before any intervention. You can also try a temporary composite mock-up on your actual teeth for a week before committing to the final veneers.
We can't give an exact figure without an exam. Pricing depends on the number of teeth, material type, and whether prior treatments are needed (orthodontics, gum work, etc.). During the consultation you'll get a written plan with pricing and options — no pressure to start immediately.
