Dentistry: say what exactly you’re looking for

Dentistry and dental treatment in the United Arab Emirates

Updated 4 November 2026

In the United Arab Emirates a check-up costs between AED 0 and AED 250, a filling AED 150 to AED 800 and teeth whitening AED 800 to AED 2,000, approximately, according to sellers' websites, November 2026. Prices differ between clinics and by treatment, so for a quote for your own case post a request on BlaBlaPrice and compare current offers.

Licences for dentists

A dentist who practises in Dubai needs a licence from the Dubai Health Authority (DHA), and a dentist in Abu Dhabi needs one from the Department of Health (DOH). Licensing guides note that the DOH fees are paid through its portal and change, so check the current figures there. Ask to see the licence before treatment starts, and check that the clinic is registered in the emirate where you live.

Season and the clinic visit

The climate is desert, with very hot summers from May to September and mild winters from November to March. The weather does not change dental prices, so plan longer treatments such as implants or braces around your work and travel. Book an early check-up before a trip, so any treatment that needs follow-up visits can be finished in time.

How dental treatment is priced

Clinics price each treatment separately, in AED per item or per treatment, and several publish a price list. Consultation and X-ray fees are not always included: one clinic lists an X-ray at AED 99, and another charges AED 250 for an initial consultation. Ask whether the price covers the X-ray and the first visit, and whether any follow-up appointment is extra.

What to write in your request

Name the treatment you need, such as a filling, extraction, whitening or a children's check-up, and say whether it is for an adult or a child. Add your district, the date you prefer and your budget. Mention any pain or previous treatment, so that the clinic can plan the visit.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Describe the treatment in your own words in a chat, and the AI reads the request, asks for missing details and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in the UAE. It then shows the prices and clinics it found. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their own price, terms and availability, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose whom to share them with.
