Dental Clinics in Dubai: Compare Routine Care and Fee Transparency

A routine dental appointment can begin with a free examination, a paid check-up or a conversation with a treatment coordinator. Those bookings do different jobs. Before comparing prices, establish who you will see and whether the appointment includes a clinical examination by a dentist.

This guide looks at Healthpoint in Al Barsha, Truly in Dubai Healthcare City and MedPalm Dental in Jumeirah 1. Their published examination prices range from free to AED 550, but that does not make them identical appointments. X-rays, hygiene visits, specialist assessments and any treatment that follows need their own price and scope.

Healthpoint explicitly advertises a free consultation and dental examination. Truly lists an examination at AED 150 and separately explains its free treatment-coordinator meeting. MedPalm lists a comprehensive oral examination at AED 550, with a different price for a specialist consultation. The useful comparison is what you are booking at each location and what the clinic has actually disclosed. Healthpoint fees, Truly fees, MedPalm fees.

Research checked 5 November 2026. This guide compares routine adult appointment access and published fees. It does not rank clinical outcomes or recommend a treatment, scan or check-up schedule. Prices are the clinics’ published figures; the services appropriate to an individual patient are determined during care.

What the published first-visit prices describe

These are service prices, not three promises of the same final bill. A small dental image, a panoramic image and a CBCT scan are different listed products. The table is not a recommendation to have any of them. Ask the dentist what is proposed for your visit and request the corresponding charge before it is carried out.

For a first enquiry, Healthpoint offers the clearest statement that its free booking includes a dentist’s examination. Truly is useful to compare when you want a separately priced clinical examination rather than its introductory coordinator meeting. MedPalm provides a published examination tariff alongside an extensive diagnostic and treatment price list. Choose the appointment type before comparing the numbers.

Healthpoint: a free examination with a separate X-ray charge

Healthpoint’s dental check-up page says its consultation and dental examination are free for new adult patients. It describes a dentist assessing the mouth and explaining proposed care and prices. It also says cleaning is charged separately. The free examination should therefore be understood as the assessment appointment, rather than a free cleaning or a commitment to further treatment.

The clinic lists a dental X-ray at AED 50. The short price label does not establish the image type, number of views or whether several images would attract several charges. Ask for that detail if imaging is proposed. It would be misleading to place the AED 50 figure beside another clinic’s panoramic or CBCT charge and assume the products are interchangeable.

Healthpoint’s general price list says its published prices include VAT and that final treatment prices are confirmed after examination. For the initial booking, ask reception to confirm the advertised free examination and identify any service outside it. Keep an examination enquiry separate from a request for an immediate cleaning, filling or cosmetic procedure, because those are different bookings with different charges.

The exact facility is HEALTHPOINT FOR GENERAL DENTAL CLINIC EST. in the DHA register. Its address identifies Office 603 in Al Bedaia, matching the clinic website’s Al Barsha 1 location behind Mall of the Emirates. This is the Dubai dental clinic, not an unrelated hospital or practice sharing a similar name.

Its team page lists Dr Vaishali as a general dentist. The DHA professional record for Vaishali Jindam shows an active General Dentist licence at this Healthpoint facility, number 34252671-004. The website describes English and Hindi for Dr Vaishali. Ask which dentist will take the actual appointment and confirm your language preference when scheduling; a team listing is not a reserved session.

For access, the clinic publishes daily opening hours of 9am–9pm and a call or WhatsApp contact on 058 588 6915. The office number and floor are useful arrival details: the location is a sixth-floor clinic rather than a street-level entrance to look for behind the mall. Ask reception for the building entrance and lift directions if this is your first visit.

The payment arrangement is particularly clear. Healthpoint’s insurance and payment page states that it does not bill insurers directly. Patients pay at the clinic and receive an itemised invoice and medical report for an eligible reimbursement claim. It says an insurer’s own claim form can be completed within 48 hours. Establish the documents your insurer requires and what your policy covers before relying on a claim to reduce your eventual cost.

The clinic’s official Instagram account shares its routine-care communications. Its check-up post illustrates that preventive-care focus. Use the clinic’s current website and appointment confirmation for prices and contacts; the graphic is not a fee quotation.

Healthpoint is a practical first enquiry when you want an advertised free dentist examination in Al Barsha and can use its pay-and-claim arrangement for any chargeable services. The decision still needs two specific answers: who will examine you, and what, if anything, is proposed outside that free appointment.

Truly: distinguish the dentist examination from the coordinator meeting

Truly’s Dubai price list gives an examination fee of AED 150. It separately lists small X-rays at AED 77 each and a panoramic X-ray at AED 195. Those itemised prices make it possible to ask a precise question about a clinical appointment rather than treating a general “free consultation” message as the whole offer.

The distinction is explained on its free consultations page. A free meeting with a treatment coordinator introduces the practice and helps explain the next booking. The page explicitly distinguishes that meeting from a clinical examination by a dentist. If your purpose is a routine check-up, request the clinical examination, not just the free introductory conversation.

There is another detail to settle before relying on an imaging-inclusive price. The same FAQ contains a line advertising a consultation and examination with a free CT scan for AED 150, while the separate price list lists full-mouth CT imaging at AED 1,500. That does not establish which patients or appointments qualify for the advertised inclusion. Request the written scope of the booked examination and any imaging offer that reception says applies. This guide does not treat a CT scan as a standard requirement for a routine visit.

The Dubai branch is at Building 27, Block C, ground floor, next to Starbucks in Dubai Healthcare City. The official location page publishes Monday–Saturday opening hours of 9am–6pm and Sunday closure, with 056 416 1141 as the branch contact. Specify Dubai when enquiring: Truly also operates outside the UAE, and a group booking or social page can discuss a different market.

The DHA facility entry identifies Truly A Modern Dental Clinic FZ LLC and links it to the Truly domain. The facility lists general dental services. Its registered medical director, Mohammed Emin Shirin, has an active General Dentist licence at this clinic, number 57930180-001. The clinic’s Dr Mohammed Shirin page supplies the corresponding professional introduction.

That professional identity is useful background, but it does not establish that Dr Shirin personally performs every routine examination or is available whenever the clinic is open. Ask for the treating dentist’s name when confirming the slot. The appointment should identify both the service and clinician, particularly if you are arranging the visit for someone else.

The reviewed fee and location pages do not establish your personal insurance arrangement. Ask whether you will pay privately, receive reimbursement paperwork or use an applicable direct-billing arrangement. Obtain an answer for the Dubai branch and your own policy. A group offer in another currency or a testimonial from an overseas clinic does not answer that question.

Truly’s official group Instagram profile identifies Ireland, the UK and Dubai. The Dubai doctor page also links to Dr Shirin’s professional account. These are useful ways to follow the practice and clinician, with the location attached to each announcement kept in mind. Overseas before-and-after posts are not evidence for a Dubai routine-examination fee.

Truly is worth comparing when the Dubai Healthcare City location fits your day and you want a clinical examination with separately visible diagnostic prices. Its most useful distinction is also the easiest one to miss: a coordinator conversation and a dentist’s clinical assessment are different appointments, even when both are called a consultation in surrounding marketing.

MedPalm Dental: a published examination tariff in Jumeirah 1

MedPalm’s pricing page lists a comprehensive oral examination at AED 550 and a specialist consultation at AED 650. It labels its prices indicative and explains that an individual treatment quote follows diagnostics. Ask reception which of those appointment types you are requesting and which dentist will see you.

Its general and restorative dentistry page describes the comprehensive examination as an assessment of teeth, gums, bite and oral health. It also describes providing a staged treatment plan and budget. That is the relevant starting point for this routine-care comparison; the clinic’s separate TMJ, orthodontic and other specialist services have different listed fees.

Imaging and hygiene appear as their own entries on the price list. A one-view bitewing is listed at AED 150, while different CBCT products have their own prices. Professional hygiene is also separately priced. The presence of those services on one list does not establish that they are included in AED 550 or that a patient needs them all. Ask which items belong to your proposed appointment and which would be additional.

The exact facility is MEDPALM POLY CLINIC LLC in the DHA register, with its Villa 6 Jumeirah address and telephone matching the dental website. Its registered services include general dental. MedPalm Dental is presented on its website as part of the wider MedPalm clinic, so specify the dental service when using the shared contact.

The dental team lists Dr Ekaterina Kushnir, whose DHA record shows an active General Dentist licence at MedPalm, number 45852272-002. Her clinic profile lists English, Russian and German. Use the licensed title for identifying the professional rather than treating every additional clinical interest in a biography as a separate specialist registration.

Her profile also carries a specialist-consultation price box. For a routine first examination, the practical question remains which service reception is booking at which fee. The clinic-wide AED 550 examination tariff does not by itself guarantee that every named-doctor or specialist appointment costs AED 550. Request the appointment description and charge together.

The clinic’s contact page gives Villa 6, 189B Jumeirah Street, Jumeirah 1, and 056 802 0088. It advertises free private parking and weekday opening hours of 9am–8pm. Weekend hours differ between that page and the DHA facility listing: the provider page says 9am–7pm, while the register displays 9am–5pm. Confirm the booked weekend session before travelling.

MedPalm describes a reimbursement arrangement on its general dentistry page: patients pay the clinic and receive documents for a claim to their insurer. Ask what paperwork will be supplied and check the policy’s dental cover before assuming a particular reimbursement. The page does not settle a personal claim amount.

MedPalm’s official Instagram account includes a first-visit diagnostic carousel showing its imaging equipment and explaining its diagnostic approach. It is context for how the practice presents the initial visit, not a personal recommendation to undergo imaging or evidence that a scan is included in the examination tariff.

MedPalm is useful to compare when the Jumeirah location, published examination scope and consultation languages fit your needs. Its fee transparency is most useful when you keep the general examination, named-doctor appointment, diagnostic items and later treatment plan distinct.

Compare the booking you will actually make

For an adult routine assessment, start by asking each clinic to describe the clinical examination and name the dentist. At Healthpoint, confirm the advertised free examination. At Truly, separate the dentist booking from the coordinator introduction. At MedPalm, distinguish the comprehensive examination from a specialist consultation. Those answers make the fee comparison more useful than a list of prices without appointment descriptions.

Then ask for any proposed additional charge to be identified by service and unit. “X-ray” alone may leave the image type and number unclear. “Cleaning” can also describe different listed services. A comparison of itemised proposals is more useful than adding every diagnostic or hygiene price on a website into an imagined standard bill.

Keep payment at reception separate from any later insurer reimbursement. Healthpoint explicitly does not directly bill insurers, and MedPalm describes reimbursement. Truly’s Dubai payment arrangement needs confirmation for the booking. A policy may set its own limits and requirements; the clinic’s invoice does not establish what a particular insurer will repay.

Finally, compare the arrival you can manage: a sixth-floor Al Barsha office, a ground-floor Dubai Healthcare City branch or a Jumeirah villa with advertised private parking. Confirm the actual dentist session and the chargeable scope together. The strongest first booking is the one whose clinician, location, service and payable amount you understand before you arrive.
