Dentists in the UAE
Dentistry in the UAE spans routine preventive care through to complex restorative and cosmetic work. General dentists handle examinations, cleanings, fillings and extractions, while specialists focus on areas such as endodontics (root canal treatment), orthodontics, periodontics and prosthodontics. Cosmetic dentistry — veneers, bonding, whitening and smile design — is especially well represented in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Includes general, cosmetic and specialist dental practice.
Choosing a practitioner
Every dentist practising in the UAE must hold a licence from the health authority in their emirate: the Dubai Health Authority (DHA), the Department of Health – Abu Dhabi (DoH), or the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) elsewhere. Ask which specialty the licence covers — 'cosmetic dentist' is a description of practice, not a separate licensed specialty. For implants or full-mouth work, ask how many comparable cases the dentist completes each year and request to see before-and-after photography of their own patients.
