About the clinic
A porcelain veneer smile makeover at Clínica Dental Raíces in Los Gigantes, Spain, provides a custom solution for discolored or uneven teeth. The procedure involves bonding ultra-thin porcelain shells to the front of your teeth to improve their color, shape, and size. This treatment is led by Dr. Alaa Ghuzlan, a cosmetic dentist with over 10 years of experience in dental implantology and aesthetics.
The Smile Makeover Process
The makeover typically takes 2 to 3 appointments at the clinic. During the first visit, the dentist assesses your bite, gum health, and tooth structure. This helps decide if you are a good candidate for the procedure. You then go through the preparation phase where the teeth are shaped to fit the veneers. Finally, the custom-crafted porcelain shells are permanently bonded to your teeth.
Custom Porcelain Veneers
The clinic uses porcelain because it looks natural and lasts for a long time. These veneers are crafted to match your specific facial features rather than looking like generic teeth. They are suitable for patients who want to fix worn teeth or mild crowding without wearing braces. Because porcelain is durable, these shells often last over 10 years with proper care.
Specialized Care in Tenerife
Dr. Alaa Ghuzlan leads the cosmetic dentistry department. Dr. Ghuzlan holds a specialty in dental implantology from the University of Barcelona and has over 10 years of experience. The clinic operates as a boutique facility in Tenerife, making it easy to fit the 2 or 3 required visits into a short trip. The medical team speaks English fluently to help you understand every step of the dental plan.
Important Considerations
Applying porcelain veneers is an irreversible procedure. This is because a small amount of enamel is usually removed to make space for the shells. Before starting, the team performs a full dental assessment to check your oral health. Once fitted, the veneers offer a long-term change to the alignment and brightness of your smile. You can request a consultation through Bookimed to learn more about this procedure.

Specialties and Procedures

Patients can choose between Straumann and Bioner implant systems. Metal-free ceramic implants made from zirconia are also available for patients with metal sensitivities.

Aesthetic treatments enhance smile design and natural beauty. The clinic offers these cosmetic options:

Orthodontic services cater to both children and adults. The clinic focuses on invisible aligners for discreet teeth alignment. These clear systems are designed to be faster and more comfortable than traditional methods. Traditional ceramic and metal braces are also available upon request.
General and Preventive Dentistry
Preventive care focuses on early detection of decay and gum disease. Specialists perform root canal treatments (endodontics) to save damaged teeth.

I had an emergency with an old implant from my home country and they were very kind to see me the day after I called. The contact person quickly understood the problem and didn’t hesitate to help. The appointment was right on time. The clinic was easy to find, it is in a central location, it is brand new and the equipment is modern. Doctor Alaa was highly professional, she clearly communicated the state of my situation and the available solutions. I am dealing with dental specialists for 30 years now for a complicated situation and it’s rare when I feel completely comfortable. Dra. Alaa cabinet was one of the places where I did. Thank you, good luck and I’ll be back :)

I had a root canal treatment at Raices dental clinic. Everything went perfect from booking my appointment with Aidan to having the treatment. It was explained what to expect very clearly and what the cost would be. The treatment took over an hour; the clinic have a TV on the ceiling in the procedure room which I watched with headphones and made the time fly by. Thank you.

This clinic is both high quality and affordable, and it was super easy to book what I needed. It’s very modern, you can even put some headphones on and watch Netflix if you are (like me) a bit nervous of the dentist!
However the highlight of the clinic is definitely the people that run it. Dr. Alaa takes her time to explain everything so you are always informed. She works very efficiently and you never feel confused at any stage.
Alaa and Aidan, thank you so much, I wish you every success in the future!

I popped into Clínica Dental Raíces while visiting Tenerife and was really impressed. The clinic has such a calm and welcoming atmosphere! The dentist took the time to explain everything clearly, put me completely at ease, and answered all my questions.
I was able to be seen straight away, and the prices are much better than in the UK and everything felt high quality.
