Comprehensive Check-Up

How a check-up works at Paradise Dental

A check-up is only as good as what your dentist can actually see — and what you can see alongside them. On the 22nd floor of Burj Al Salam on Sheikh Zayed Road, our DHA-licensed dentists use intraoral cameras throughout your examination, so every image appears on a screen in front of you in real time. Instead of taking our word for it, you watch us point to the exact tooth, the exact surface, and the exact reason behind any recommendation. When something needs a closer look, we have 3D CBCT imaging on site, and an iTero digital scan can create a baseline model of your teeth so we can track subtle changes — wear, movement, gum recession — from one visit to the next rather than relying on memory or paper notes.

Your visit, step by step

1. Conversation first. We review your medical history, medications, and anything that has been bothering you — sensitivity, bleeding gums, jaw clicking, snoring.
2. Systematic examination. Every tooth, existing filling, and crown is checked, along with your bite, jaw joints, tongue, and soft tissues.
3. Imaging only when justified. X-rays are taken based on your risk level and history, not by default at every visit.
4. Gum measurements. Pocket depths around each tooth reveal early gum disease long before you would notice symptoms yourself.
5. Plan and priorities. You leave knowing exactly what is urgent, what can wait, and what simply needs monitoring — with written costs before anything begins.

What we might find — and what happens next

Most findings at a routine check-up fall into the first two rows — which is precisely the point. Caught at this stage, problems are reversible or minor. Left for two or three years, the same issues often become root canals and crowns.

Cost and insurance in Dubai

The fee for a check-up depends mainly on whether X-rays are clinically needed and whether you combine the visit with a hygiene cleaning — current figures for both are listed on our pricing page. Many Dubai health insurance plans include preventive dental benefits, and we bill directly with Daman, AXA, Cigna, Bupa Global, Allianz Care, Oman Insurance, Neuron, Nextcare, and Mednet, so our front desk can verify your coverage before you sit in the chair. MetLife members can typically claim via reimbursement, depending on their plan. If you are new to us, your first consultation is free — a straightforward way to meet the team and get an honest assessment with zero commitment.

Built around a Dubai schedule

We know most of our patients are fitting dental care between meetings, school runs, and flights. A routine check-up typically takes well under an hour, the clinic is a short walk from World Trade Centre Metro Station, and our multilingual team can handle the paperwork in the language you are most comfortable with. One practical note for life in the UAE: long hours in air-conditioned offices and the summer heat both contribute to dehydration and dry mouth, which quietly raises your decay risk. Keep water at your desk, and if you are a daily coffee or karak drinker, mention it — we will factor staining and acidity into your personalized prevention plan.
