Many patients from Saudi Arabia and the Gulf combine their dental treatment with a holiday in Jordan. Good planning saves you time: knowing how many days your treatment needs, choosing the right holiday for it, and booking early. This guide helps you plan, under the supervision of Dr. Banan Alhawamdeh.
When do most Gulf patients visit?
Most of our patients from Saudi Arabia and the Gulf come during:
- The summer holiday, the longest and best for treatments that need a week or more.
- The mid-year school break.
- The Eid holidays.
- Ramadan.
These are the busiest seasons, so we advise contacting us well before your travel date to book the days that suit you.
Choose the holiday for your treatment
| Treatment | Approximate time in Amman | Suitable holiday |
|---|---|---|
| Teeth whitening | One session of about an hour and a half | Any holiday, even a short one |
| Root canal treatment | One to two sessions | A short holiday, with spare time in case of infection |
| Veneers / dental lenses | One week | Mid-year break or summer |
| Hollywood smile | One week | Mid-year break or summer |
| Zirconia crowns | At least one week | Mid-year break or summer |
| Dental implants | Two visits: about 2 days, then 8 to 10 days at least 2.5 months later | Two holidays in a row |
Times are approximate; Dr. Banan confirms them after the exam.
Implants: splitting them over two holidays
Implants need a healing period of at least 2.5 months between the two visits. So you can, for example, have the implant placed in one holiday and come back for the crown in a later one. Details in dental implants in Jordan for visitors from Saudi Arabia.
