Biography
Dr. Yasmin Al-Rashed opened Aurelia in 2008 with a single treatment room and one conviction: that the quality of dentistry a patient receives should not depend on how well they can describe what is wrong.
She trained at Kuwait University, then spent nine years in London — four of them at King's College Hospital, where she completed her Master's in Prosthodontics and developed the diagnostic protocol the clinic still uses today. Her work concentrates on complex restorative cases: worn dentitions, failed earlier treatment, full-arch implant reconstruction, and the kind of smile design that has to survive twenty years rather than one photograph.
She plans every full-mouth case at Aurelia personally, from the first intraoral scan through to the final try-in, and teaches the clinic's monthly digital workflow session for visiting clinicians.
“A plan you cannot explain to the patient in plain language is not a finished plan. I would rather spend an extra hour in diagnosis than an extra year correcting something we rushed.”

Selected cases.
Smile Makeover · 7 months
The Worn Dentition
Two decades of grinding had shortened the upper front teeth by nearly four millimetres. Rebuilding them meant rebuilding the bite first.
Whitening · 3 weeks
Four Shades and a Wedding
A case that is interesting for what we did not do: two composite fillings meant whitening had to happen in the right order.
Veneers · 3 months
The Second Opinion
Twelve crowns proposed elsewhere. Four onlays, two veneers and a night guard delivered instead.
Patients
“Nobody has commented on my teeth. That was the entire brief, and I think they are the only clinic who would have understood it.”
“I had given up on whitening because a kit I bought online hurt so much I stopped after three nights. Here it did not hurt at all.”
“I arrived holding a plan for twelve crowns. I left having had six restorations, and they showed me on screen why the other six teeth were fine.”
