What dental treatment costs in the UAE
Published price ranges for implants, veneers, crowns, cleaning and aligners, with the source and date behind every figure.
Prices, treatment by treatment
Every figure comes from a named source and links to it. Most are modelled ranges from one pricing publisher, not clinic price lists, so read them as a sense of scale. Check the unit, per tooth, per arch or per visit, before you compare two numbers.

The table covers Dubai and Abu Dhabi only. We have not found price ranges for other Gulf cities that we can link to, and we would rather leave a gap than fill it with a guess.
What Dubai's minimum insurance plan pays for
Dubai requires health insurance for UAE nationals, residents and visitors, and the Dubai Health Authority sets the Essential Benefits Plan as the minimum level of health insurance cover. Insurers' published tables give its dental benefit a limit of AED 500, and they are clear about what falls outside it.
How to read this site
- Information, not advice. Nothing here is medical advice, and no page recommends a treatment.
- No clinic names, no rankings. We do not name, rate or endorse clinics, and we publish no before-and-after images.
- Ranges, not quotes. A range shows the scale of a treatment's cost. Only a dentist who has examined you can price your treatment.
- Dated figures. Every number carries the date we last checked it at the source. When it expires, we re-check it or drop it.

Getting a price for your own case
The ranges here are a starting point. A figure for your own treatment comes from a licensed dentist after an examination, and this site does not pass requests to clinics. Three things make that conversation easier.
- Know the range. Look up the treatment in the estimator first.
- Ask for an itemised quote. How to read a dental quote shows what to look for.
- Check licence and cover. Take the questions worth asking with you.
Run a dental clinic?
We offer licensed clinics a managed website plan, with content drafted to the published advertising rules. It is a service for clinics only, kept separate from the prices here, and it never includes a listing on this site.
