Dr. Nazifa Yakubova
Specialist Prosthodontist & Cosmetic Dentist | 14+ Years of Clinical Experience | Abu Dhabi, UAE
Dr. Nazifa Yakubova is a Specialist Prosthodontist with more than 14 years of clinical experience in prosthodontics, aesthetic dentistry and comprehensive oral rehabilitation.
Education & Training
She completed her Master’s degree in Prosthodontics, followed by a second Master’s degree in Periodontics at Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna, Italy. Her education across both disciplines has shaped an interdisciplinary approach to restorative dentistry, combining aesthetics and function with careful consideration of periodontal health, soft tissues and the biological foundation of every restoration.
She further advanced her education at the Vienna School of Interdisciplinary Dentistry (VieSID), developing a deeper understanding of occlusion, functional dentistry and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) relationships. This allows her to consider not only the appearance of a restoration, but also how it integrates with the patient’s bite, occlusion and overall oral function.
Clinical Experience
Yakubova has extensive clinical experience in ceramic and porcelain veneers, crowns, implant crowns, bridges, composite restorations and full-mouth rehabilitation, including complex restorative cases and rehabilitation of edentulous patients. Her experience working with a wide range of implant systems also provides a strong foundation for the prosthetic restoration of implant-supported cases.
Treatment Philosophy
A key part of her philosophy is conservative and minimally invasive dentistry. When veneers are indicated, Dr. Yakubova aims to preserve as much healthy natural tooth structure as possible, using minimal preparation techniques whenever clinically appropriate, rather than unnecessary tooth reduction. Her approach is focused on achieving natural-looking, highly aesthetic and harmonious results while respecting the biology and long-term health of the teeth.
She combines advanced digital dentistry, modern diagnostic protocols, digital smile design and the latest restorative technologies and techniques to plan and deliver precise, predictable and highly individualized treatments. Her goal is not simply to create a beautiful smile, but to create a result that looks naturally beautiful, balanced and individual to each patient, while maintaining proper function, occlusion and long-term stability.
Her approach brings together prosthodontics, periodontics, aesthetic dentistry and functional dentistry to create comprehensive treatment plans that respect the health of the supporting tissues while achieving natural aesthetics, harmonious function and predictable long-term results. Her treatment philosophy is particularly focused on minimally invasive veneers, conservative cosmetic dentistry, natural smile design and functional aesthetic rehabilitation.
Languages
Yakubova provides consultations and treatment in English, Russian, Turkish, Uzbek and Arabic, allowing her to communicate comfortably with patients from diverse cultural and international backgrounds.
