Stroll through DIFC’s Gate Village and you are sure to notice luxurious new oral-care store Maison Dentaire. With its industrial-luxe aesthetic you could be forgiven for mistaking it for a high-end beauty retailer, but step through the doors and you will be greeted with a plethora the industry’s finest selection of toothcare products.
A family-run business, they are experts in their field and as a result have access to the best products which they hand-select to stock. The Luxe Scoop was kindly invited for a look around and we have shortlisted our favourite products for you to try yourself:
This rainbow-coloured range of brushes and flavoured toothpastes is for those looking for a game-changing everyday product. The toothpaste comes in six addictive flavours; watermelon, grapefruit, peach & apricot, blackberry & liquorice, apple & aloe and juniper & persimmon (which just happens to resemble our favourite quinine-based tipple). It is whitening and antibacterial without containing any bleaching agents or SLS which can harm your teeth and even be carcinogenic. Sporting some 5,460 bristles (the industry average is around 750) the brush is made from an unbreakable hydrophobic material designed to protect gums whilst still thoroughly cleaning your mouth. Choose from their variety of colour options each stamped with the Swiss flag, synonymous with country’s reputation for the best quality products.
Swiss Smile by Curaprox
For those looking for showstopping luxury, we don’t think you will find better than Swiss Smile d’Or – a toothpaste containing 24 carat gold. Not just stylish, this product has substance too; gold is naturally whitening and antibacterial. The gel also treats halitosis and soothes inflamed gums, making it both gentle and effective enough to use every day- something guests of the 7-star Burj Al Arab are lucky enough to do, as it is supplied throughout all hotel rooms. In addition, a certain palace bulk orders this, with the royal in question known to love the product…
Also part of the Swiss Smile range, we love the ‘Pearl Shine’ Dental Conditioner foam. Sweep one pump of this over your teeth for 24-hour protection from all your guilty pleasures; red lipstick, red wine, coffee or cigarettes. Acting as a protective layer, the product keeps away stains which can breakdown and stain enamel. It is one of Maison Dentaire’s more expensive products (270AED for a small, 540AED for a large), but a little goes a long way.
‘Black is White’ and ‘White is Black’ by Curaprox
Focussing on gentle whitening, this range comes in either White (mild lime-mint flavour) and Black (fresh lime-mint flavour). Despite the coloured packaging, both products are naturally black, and the flavour differences are subtle but equally delicious. The activated charcoal is a gentle natural whitening agent, sure to have your teeth sparkling without causing sensitivity and gum damage.
Fit@Work by Biogena
Aside from dental products, Maison Dentaire caters for general health and wellbeing too, stocking Austrian company Biogena’s range of supplements. To create such high-quality products, Biogena research unique properties and fly across to the world in order to source the best ingredients.

TIP FROM THE EXPERT
Brand representative, Ali’s top tip for TLS readers is to check the products you are currently using in your oral routine. What ingredients are in your toothpaste? Be sure to avoid SLS, which can be harmful. How many bristles does you brush have and what are they made from?
Maison Dentaire can be found in Gate Village, DIFC with plans to open an Abu Dhabi store later in the year. You can also shop from there online store https://www.maisondentaire.ae Now that is something to smile about…
