What is included in a dental check-up at Harmony Medical Centers Abu Dhabi?
A comprehensive dental check-up at Harmony Medical Centers Abu Dhabi includes a full oral health assessment, periodontal (gum) screening, oral cancer screening, X-rays where indicated, and a personalised treatment plan. Our dentists will discuss any findings with you in detail and recommend next steps with no obligation to proceed with treatment on the same visit.
How often should I visit a dental clinic in Abu Dhabi for a check-up?
Most adults benefit from a dental check-up every 6 months. Patients with a history of gum disease, high cavity risk, or ongoing orthodontic treatment may need to visit more frequently. Your dentist at Harmony Medical Centers will recommend a schedule suited to your specific oral health needs at your first appointment.
Do you offer scale and polish (teeth cleaning) at your Abu Dhabi dental clinics?
Yes. Professional scaling and polishing is available at all three Harmony Medical Centers in Abu Dhabi. A professional clean removes tartar (calcified plaque) that cannot be removed with brushing at home, reducing the risk of gum disease and keeping teeth looking clean. Cleaning is commonly included in routine check-up appointments and is covered by many insurance plans including Daman and Thiqa.
Dental Implants in Abu Dhabi
How much do dental implants cost in Abu Dhabi?
Dental implants at Harmony Medical Centers Abu Dhabi are currently available from AED 7,000 under our active promotion. This includes the implant consultation, all X-rays and digital scan, premium implants from Germany and the USA, and all bone materials and membranes where required. Exact cost depends on the number of implants, bone condition and whether additional procedures are needed. A written cost plan is provided before any treatment starts.
Are dental implants available at all Harmony Medical Centers in Abu Dhabi?
Yes. Dental implants are performed at all three Harmony Medical Centers locations in Abu Dhabi, Khalifa City A, MBZ City and Al Khaleej Al Arabi. Implant placement is carried out by DOH licensed oral and maxillofacial surgeons and periodontists using CBCT-guided imaging for precision placement. Both single tooth implants and full arch solutions are available.
What types of dental implants are available at Harmony Medical Centers in Abu Dhabi?
Harmony Medical Centers offers single tooth implants, All-on-4 and All-on-6 full arch implants, and same-day dental implants (immediate loading). Implants are placed using CBCT 3D guided surgical planning for precision. Our implantology team will assess your bone density and oral health to recommend the most suitable implant solution for your case during your consultation.
How long does dental implant treatment take in Abu Dhabi?
The dental implant process typically takes 3 to 6 months from initial placement to final crown fitting, depending on how quickly osseointegration (bonding of the implant to the jawbone) occurs. In suitable cases, same-day dental implants allow a temporary crown to be placed on the day of surgery. Your implant specialist will give you a personalised timeline at your consultation at Harmony Medical Centers Abu Dhabi.
Am I a good candidate for dental implants in Abu Dhabi?
Most adults with one or more missing teeth are candidates for dental implants if they have sufficient jawbone density and healthy gums. Conditions such as diabetes or a history of smoking require careful assessment but do not automatically disqualify you. Harmony Medical Centers performs a full clinical and radiographic evaluation at your consultation to confirm suitability and discuss any preparatory treatment needed.
Invisalign and Orthodontics in Abu Dhabi
Is Invisalign available at the dental clinic in Abu Dhabi?
Yes. Invisalign is available at all three Harmony Medical Centers locations in Abu Dhabi, fitted by DOH licensed specialist orthodontists. Our current promotion starts from AED 8,000 and includes a specialist consultation, dental check-up, panoramic X-ray, digital smile preview and a home whitening kit. Invisalign corrects crowding, spacing, overbite, underbite and crossbite discreetly without fixed braces.
How much does Invisalign cost in Abu Dhabi?
Invisalign at Harmony Medical Centers Abu Dhabi is currently available from AED 8,000 under our active offer (regular price from AED 10,000). The final cost depends on the complexity of your case and the number of aligners required. A digital assessment at your consultation will give you a clear quote with no hidden charges. Flexible 0% payment plans are available through Tabby and Tamara.
What is the difference between Invisalign and braces at a dental clinic in Abu Dhabi?
Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth without visible brackets or wires. Metal or ceramic braces use fixed brackets bonded to teeth and are generally suited to more complex cases. Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible and can be removed for eating and brushing. Both options are available at Harmony Medical Centers in Abu Dhabi, and your specialist orthodontist will recommend the most clinically appropriate solution for your alignment needs.
How long does orthodontic treatment take at Harmony Medical Centers in Abu Dhabi?
Orthodontic treatment duration varies significantly depending on case complexity. Minor alignment corrections with Invisalign can take as little as 6 months. Moderate to complex cases with braces typically take 18 to 24 months. Your specialist orthodontist at Harmony Medical Centers Abu Dhabi will give you an accurate timeline after assessing your teeth with digital X-rays and scans at your consultation.
Is Invisalign suitable for children and teenagers in Abu Dhabi?
Yes. Invisalign First is designed for younger children with mixed dentition (both baby and adult teeth), and Invisalign Teen is specifically designed for teenagers. Both are available at Harmony Medical Centers in Abu Dhabi. Invisalign Teen includes compliance indicators and additional replacement aligners for peace of mind. A specialist orthodontic consultation will confirm suitability based on your child's age and dental development.
Teeth Whitening in Abu Dhabi
How much does teeth whitening cost in Abu Dhabi?
In-office teeth whitening at Harmony Medical Centers Abu Dhabi is currently available from AED 1,500 (regular value AED 2,200). This is a professional whitening treatment carried out in the clinic in a single session. At-home whitening kits and combination approaches are also available at different price points. A consultation with our dental team will help identify the most suitable whitening option for your teeth and lifestyle.
Is teeth whitening safe at a dental clinic in Abu Dhabi?
Professional teeth whitening carried out by a licensed dentist is considered safe and well-tolerated for most patients. At Harmony Medical Centers Abu Dhabi, whitening treatments use clinically approved agents at concentrations only available through licensed dental practitioners. A pre-whitening check is performed to ensure your gums and enamel are suitable before treatment begins. Patients with pre-existing sensitivity are assessed individually.
How long does teeth whitening last in Abu Dhabi?
Professional in-office teeth whitening results typically last 12 to 24 months depending on diet, lifestyle habits such as coffee, tea and tobacco use, and oral hygiene routine. Periodic top-up whitening or a take-home maintenance kit can extend results. Your dentist at Harmony Medical Centers Abu Dhabi will advise on aftercare to help maintain your result for as long as possible.
Dental Veneers in Abu Dhabi
How much do porcelain veneers cost in Abu Dhabi?
Porcelain veneers at Harmony Medical Centers Abu Dhabi are currently available at 30% off, with a complimentary consultation, X-rays where required, and a digital smile preview included. The per-veneer cost depends on the material chosen and the number of veneers required. A detailed written quote is provided at your smile design consultation before any commitment is made.
What is the difference between veneers and crowns at a dental clinic in Abu Dhabi?
Veneers are thin porcelain or composite shells bonded to the front surface of the tooth — they require minimal removal of tooth enamel and are primarily cosmetic. Crowns are full-coverage restorations that encase the entire tooth and are used when a tooth is structurally compromised. Your dentist at Harmony Medical Centers Abu Dhabi will assess which option is clinically appropriate for your specific situation during your consultation.
How long do dental veneers last in Abu Dhabi?
Porcelain veneers placed by a specialist at Harmony Medical Centers Abu Dhabi typically last 10 to 15 years with proper care. Composite veneers generally have a shorter lifespan of 5 to 7 years. Longevity depends on oral hygiene, bite habits and whether a night guard is worn if teeth grinding is present. A maintenance check every 12 months is recommended to monitor veneer condition.
Are veneers reversible?
Porcelain veneers require a small amount of enamel to be removed from the tooth surface, which means the procedure is not fully reversible — the tooth will need to be covered by a veneer or crown permanently once this enamel is removed. Composite veneers involve less or no enamel removal and are a more reversible option. Your dentist at Harmony Medical Centers Abu Dhabi will explain the full implications of each option before you decide.
Root Canal Treatment in Abu Dhabi
Is root canal treatment available at Harmony Medical Centers in Abu Dhabi?
Yes. Root canal treatment (endodontics) is available at all 3 Harmony Medical Centers locations in Abu Dhabi. Our endodontic team is led by Dr. Talal Al Nahlawi (Head of Endodontics) alongside specialist endodontists at each location. Root canal procedures are performed under local anaesthesia and, in most cases, are no more uncomfortable than having a routine filling placed.
How do I know if I need a root canal treatment in Abu Dhabi?
Common signs that root canal treatment may be needed include severe or persistent toothache, sensitivity to heat or cold that lingers, swelling or tenderness in the gums near a tooth, or darkening of a tooth. However, some teeth requiring root canal treatment cause no symptoms at all and are detected only on X-ray. If you have any of these symptoms, contact Harmony Medical Centers in Abu Dhabi promptly to avoid further complications.
Pediatric Dentistry in Abu Dhabi
Is there a pediatric dentist at Harmony Medical Centers in Abu Dhabi?
Yes. Harmony Medical Centers Abu Dhabi has a dedicated pediatric dentistry department at all 3 clinic locations. The team is headed by Dr. M Nour AlHalabi (Head of Pediatric Dentistry), with DOH licensed specialist paediatric dentists at each clinic. The department provides gentle, anxiety-free dental care for children of all ages including those with special needs.
At what age should a child first visit a dental clinic in Abu Dhabi?
The first dental visit is recommended when the first tooth appears or by the child's first birthday, whichever comes earlier. Early visits allow the dentist to monitor tooth development, provide preventive guidance for parents, and help the child become comfortable with dental environments from a young age, reducing anxiety at later appointments.
What is the Kids Dental Wellness Package at Harmony Medical Centers Abu Dhabi?
The Children's Dental Wellness Package at Harmony Medical Centers Abu Dhabi is priced at AED 500 (regular value AED 1,075) and includes a full dental check-up, scale and polish, fluoride treatment, and X-rays where required. The package is designed to support children's long-term oral health through preventive care at an accessible price point.
Does Harmony Medical Centers in Abu Dhabi offer sedation for children?
Yes. Harmony Medical Centers Abu Dhabi offers laughing gas (nitrous oxide) sedation and general anaesthesia for children where clinically appropriate, particularly for young children, those with dental anxiety, or those requiring extensive treatment in a single visit.

At Harmony Medical Centers Abu Dhabi, smile makeovers are planned using Digital Smile Design (DSD) technology, allowing you to preview your result before any treatment begins.
What is a Hollywood Smile and can I get one in Abu Dhabi?
A Hollywood Smile refers to a full set of porcelain veneers placed across the upper and sometimes lower front teeth to create a uniform, bright, symmetrical smile.

The treatment begins with a Digital Smile Design consultation where your preferred shade, shape and proportion are visualised before any tooth preparation begins.
Is Digital Smile Design available in Abu Dhabi at Harmony Medical Centers?

This technology is available for cosmetic cases including veneers, crowns and smile makeover planning.
Gum Treatment in Abu Dhabi
What is gum treatment (periodontics) and is it available in Abu Dhabi?

Harmony Medical Centers Abu Dhabi has DOH licensed specialist periodontists at all three locations providing deep cleaning (scaling and root planing), surgical gum treatments and implant-related periodontal care.
What are the signs of gum disease at a dental clinic in Abu Dhabi?
Common signs of gum disease include bleeding gums when brushing or flossing, red or swollen gums, persistent bad breath, receding gums, loose teeth or a change in bite.

Early treatment at Harmony Medical Centers Abu Dhabi can prevent progression and protect your teeth long-term.
