Health information disclaimer: This directory is informational only and not medical advice. Rankings reflect publicly available Google ratings and review volume, not clinical outcomes. Verify any practitioner’s credentials and registration with the relevant medical board before booking.

How we score

Rating is each clinic’s live Google average. Review volume measures how many patients actually left a rating, ranked against the others on this page. Confidence weighs the rating against that volume, since a perfect score from a handful of reviews carries less weight than 4.9 from thousands. Recency checks how recently patients are still reviewing. No clinic can pay to change any of these numbers.

How much does a dentist visit cost in Abu Dhabi? (2026)

None of the clinics on this page publish a public price list, and dental costs in the UAE vary significantly by treatment complexity and whether insurance applies. We’re not going to invent figures here. If cost is a deciding factor, ask each clinic for a written quote and confirm whether your insurance network covers them before booking, since at least one clinic above was specifically praised for accepting insurance.

Serving all of Abu Dhabi

These clinics are spread across Al Rawdah, Khalidiyah, and Al Danah (Zone 1), all central Abu Dhabi neighborhoods within a short drive of the Corniche and most residential areas on the island. If you’re searching for a dentist near me from Khalifa City, Al Reem Island, or Mussafah, all of them are a reasonable drive without needing to cross onto the mainland.

What to ask before you book a dentist in Abu Dhabi

  • Is a written cost estimate provided before treatment begins?
  • Does the clinic accept my insurance network directly, or do I pay and claim later?
  • Which specific dentist will handle my case, and what’s their specialty?
  • What’s the clinic’s policy on emergency or same-day appointments?
  • Is a follow-up visit included in the price of the initial treatment?
  • For children’s appointments, does the clinic have a dedicated pediatric dentist?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these dentists?

We pulled every dental clinic in Abu Dhabi with a meaningful public review history, then ranked by a mix of rating, review volume, and how recently people are still reviewing them.

Which of these clinics handles pediatric dentistry?

International Center for Dental Excellence and Hollywood Smile Medical Center both list pediatric dentistry among their specialties.

How often is this updated?

We refresh this page periodically against live Google data. It was last verified in July 2026.

What if I have a dental emergency outside office hours?

Call ahead to confirm same-day availability. Several clinics above run into the evening, and Smile Art keeps unusually long hours most days of the week.

The bottom line

International Center for Dental Excellence is the safe first call: the deepest review history on this page, a 4.9 average, and specialties covering the whole family. If your case is surgical or cosmetic rather than routine, Hollywood Smile Medical Center’s perfect rating and oral surgery focus are worth a look instead.
