About us
Care that starts with listening, before it starts with treatment
Dontal opened in 2006 with one clinic and two chairs. Today it is three branches and fourteen dentists, and the founding rule has not moved: no treatment begins until the patient understands why it is needed, what the alternative is, and what it will cost in full.
We are a full-service centre with digital diagnostics, the lab, the operating room and the children's clinic all under one roof. That means your case never travels between addresses, and your plan is reviewed by more than one consultant at the team's weekly meeting.
- Evening and weekend appointments
- A written plan with the final price
- Dental emergencies seen within two hours
- Hospital-standard sterilisation, every pouch traceable

Patient reviews
What the people who sat here before you say
Verified reviews from patients who actually finished their treatment — not anonymous opinions.
I walked in assuming braces would take three years of my life. Dr Lian showed me a simulation of the result at the first visit, and we finished in fourteen months, exactly as it looked on the screen.
Amal Al-GhafriClear aligners · Al Khuwair branch
I put the implant off for three years out of fear of surgery. The session took fifty minutes and I needed no painkillers after the second day. The surgeon's direct line afterwards settled me more than the medication did.
Salim Al-BalushiMolar implant · Qurum branch
What I liked was that they tried the temporary shape in my mouth before any preparation. I changed my mind about the length twice, and nobody objected.
Muna Al-ShukailiWhitening and veneers · Al Khuwair branch
I called at eight in the evening and was in the chair before half past nine. Nobody asked me about payment until the pain had stopped.
Khalid Al-HinaiAcute pain emergency · Nizwa branch
My daughter is five and would not even open her mouth. The first visit was sitting in the chair and playing with the mirror, nothing else. Now she asks when the next appointment is.
Maitha Al-AbriChildren's clinic · Qurum branch
A written plan with the final price from the first session, and the figure had not moved four months later. That alone earns the full five stars.
Talal Al-RahbiFull-mouth rehabilitation · Al Khuwair branch
Questions
What patients ask before a first visit
These are the questions reception fields every day. If yours is not here, write to us and the relevant specialist will answer within one working day.
Forty to sixty minutes. It covers the clinical examination, whatever imaging is needed, and time to talk the plan through. We start no treatment at that visit unless there is pain that needs dealing with immediately.
The prices shown are the starting point for each service. After the examination you get a written plan with the final price, and that figure does not change once you have approved it unless you ask to change the plan.
Yes — ten providers directly. Send a photograph of your card and we will tell you your cover within one working hour, before you book.
We hold the slot for fifteen minutes. After that we may have to shorten or reschedule the session. You can change the appointment free of charge from the My reservations page up to four hours before.
Yes. We offer advanced local anaesthesia and light IV sedation where it is needed, supervised by a specialist anaesthetist.
Journal
We write down what we explain in the chair
Written by our own dentists, with no promises and no advertising language.
Cosmetic
Teeth whitening: what actually works, and what is just marketing
Between an "instant whitening" toothpaste and a laser session there is a large difference in mechanism and in result. Here is what the enamel itself says.
Children
Your child's first visit: how to make it a good memory
Dental fear is inherited through words, not genes. Five sentences worth avoiding before the appointment.
Orthodontics
Clear aligners: who they suit, and when they are not enough
Not every case is solved by trays. The real limits of the technique, as they show up in the chair.
