Questions patients ask

Is the remote pre-consultation a diagnosis?

Yes. We provide records and component details for implants so maintenance can continue locally.

Can I start Invisalign in Dubai and continue at home?

Sometimes, with a clear plan for reviews. This is discussed at the consultation.

Do you arrange airport pickup?

No. We recommend licensed taxis or ride-hailing services.

Who do I contact for a problem after I've gone home?

How does dental treatment in Dubai work for someone living in the UK?

Manhal Medical Center in Dubai can give a provisional plan from your records, but fees are confirmed only after the clinical examination. Ask the clinic directly about costs and payment options for your case.

Does the clinic help with flights or hotels?

Is it worth getting veneers in Dubai from the UK?

How much does a Hollywood smile cost in Dubai?

Manhal Medical Center in Dubai does not publish fees, because the cost depends on the number of teeth, the materials and any preliminary treatment. Ask the clinic once your records have been reviewed.

Like many people, I don't enjoy the dentist. For many years I avoided visits out of fear. I found Manhal 15 years ago, and he is a wonderful dentist. Calming presence. Excellent implantology as well as other dental work. I have recommended him personally to many friends, and will continue to do so. I just hope he doesn't ever retire. When I have been overseas with dental problems, I have flown back to Dubai specifically to see him. Could not imagine ever going to another dentist.
