Dental treatment in the United Arab Emirates

Updated 4 November 2026

A dental consultation in the UAE costs about AED 150 to AED 400, and a single-root canal treatment starts from about AED 1,900. Prices depend on the treatment, the number of teeth and the materials. To get a price for your own problem, describe the tooth and the symptoms in a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Licences to check

In Dubai a dentist must hold a valid licence from the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) in the same specialty, and clinics need their own facility licence, which is renewed every year. Ask to see the dentist's licence number before the first treatment, and ask for the clinic's current licence as well.

Season and timing

Dental treatment does not depend on the season, so the choice of time is mostly about your schedule. The UAE has very hot summers from May to September and mild winters from November to March. A course of several visits is easier to plan in the mild months, when you can move between appointments without the midday heat.

How treatment is quoted

Dental prices are usually quoted per procedure, not per visit. A root canal price often excludes the filling, which is charged separately. The consultation may be charged on its own, and one clinic lists an X-ray at AED 99. Ask whether the X-ray and the filling are in the quote, and whether the price is stated in AED.

What to write in your request

Describe the complaint or diagnosis, which tooth or how many teeth are involved, and the treatment you expect if you already know it. Say whether you need pain relief, whether you have an X-ray or CT scan from the last year, and when you want to start. Add your city or area in the UAE, the experience you want from the dentist and your budget in AED.

You can get offers for dental treatment through BlaBlaPrice. Describe the problem in your own words in the chat, and the AI asks for missing details. It then looks through dental clinic websites and price lists in the UAE and shows the prices and clinics it found. Registered dental clinics receive the request and reply in the chat with their price, the visits included and the payment terms. Your contacts stay hidden until you decide to exchange them.
