This page brings together the questions we're asked most on WhatsApp by patients in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf before they decide to have dental treatment at our clinic in Sweifieh, Amman. Our patients come from Al-Qurayyat, Al-Jouf, Tabuk, Qassim, Hail and Arar, and from across the Gulf. If your question isn't here, send it to us and we'll answer.
Before you travel
How do I start while I'm in Saudi Arabia?
Send us clear photos of your teeth on WhatsApp and describe what you'd like treated. Dr. Banan reviews your case and sends an initial plan with the expected time and approximate cost, then we book the days that suit you.
Do I pay a deposit to confirm my appointment?
No deposit is needed to confirm your booking.
Do I need to bring X-rays?
No. The panoramic X-ray is taken at the clinic when you arrive. If you have previous X-rays or reports, send them with your photos.
What should I tell Dr. Banan about my health?
Tell us about any long-term condition such as diabetes or heart disease, the medicines you take and any allergies. This helps Dr. Banan plan your treatment safely.
Length of stay
How many days do I need to stay in Amman?
It depends on the treatment: zirconia at least one week, veneers and a Hollywood smile one week, whitening one session of about an hour and a half, and a root canal one to two sessions. Dr. Banan confirms the final time after the exam.
How many trips do I need for dental implants?
Usually two: about 2 days to place the implant, then 8 to 10 days to fit the crown at least 2.5 months later. In certain cases it can be done in one visit. Details in dental implants in Jordan for visitors from Saudi Arabia.
When is the best time to come?
Most patients come in the summer holiday, the mid-year break, the Eid holidays and Ramadan. Read the best time for dental treatment in Jordan.
Cost and payment
Are prices higher for Saudi and Gulf patients?

How do I know the cost before I travel?
The cost depends on your case. Send photos of your teeth on WhatsApp and we'll send the approximate cost with your initial plan.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all available payment methods.
Treatment and warranty
Is there a warranty on implants?
Yes, there is a warranty on the implant. Its length and terms depend on the case, the implant type and the restoration, and we set them out in writing in your treatment plan.
Do I choose the shape and shade of my restorations?
Yes. We agree on the shape and shade with you before they're made, and check them at the try-in before final fitting. Read zirconia and veneers in Jordan for travellers.
Can I start clear aligners while living in Saudi Arabia?
You can start clear aligners at the clinic, then follow the stages remotely with periodic visits according to your treatment plan.
Is Dr. Banan a female dentist?
Yes. Dr. Banan Alhawamdeh is a female dentist, so women can be treated by a woman doctor. Read female dentist in Amman.

What if I need something after I go back?
We follow up on WhatsApp or however suits you, and if your case needs a check-up, we arrange it with you on your next visit.
