Both work; the right choice depends on your case and your lifestyle. Aligners are discreet and removable and suit many adults and older teens, while braces handle even complex cases with precision. We recommend the best option for you at your consultation, and the choice is always yours.

Most treatments take roughly six to eighteen months, depending on how much movement is needed. We give you a realistic estimate at the start, and for clear aligners much of the journey can be monitored remotely around your travel and life.

Not at all. Teeth can be moved at almost any age, and more adults than ever are straightening their teeth, often discreetly with clear aligners. Healthy teeth and gums matter more than age.

Orthodontics is comfortable for most people. You may feel mild pressure or tenderness for a day or two after braces are adjusted or a new aligner is started (a sign the teeth are moving), which settles quickly and is easily managed.

Yes. We design treatment to minimise visits, and clear aligners in particular can be largely monitored remotely, with check-ins planned around your travel. We map out the visit schedule clearly before you start.

We use branded systems such as Invisalign and Spark by Ormco, which have extensive clinical data and are monitored on the manufacturer’s platform, rather than generic aligners with limited track records. Branded systems give more predictable results.

Yes, and it’s free. A virtual consultation with your photos lets us assess your case, outline your options and timeline, and send a clear plan and a fixed, all-inclusive price in writing before you travel.

Yes. Every orthodontist is licensed and verifiable through the Saudi Ministry of Health, and our team holds degrees and boards from named institutions in the United States and Canada. We’re glad to share their credentials at your consultation.

Ideally by their first birthday, or when the first teeth appear. Early visits are short and friendly (mostly about getting your child comfortable) and help us catch and prevent problems while building good habits early.

Our whole approach is designed to prevent that. We move at your child’s pace, explain everything in friendly language, and keep the clinic calm and welcoming. Most children leave happy, and many actually look forward to coming back.

Yes, very much. Healthy baby teeth help your child eat and speak, and they hold the space and guide the adult teeth into place. Looking after them prevents pain, infection and problems for the adult teeth later.

Gently and patiently. Our pediatric team is trained in child-centred techniques that build trust step by step, and for children who need extra support we can discuss safe, gentle calming options with you first.

Brushing twice a day with the right amount of fluoride toothpaste, limiting sugary snacks and drinks, and regular check-ups are the foundations. We give you simple, practical guidance tailored to your child’s age at every visit.

Of course. We plan appointments around your travel, our specialists speak English, and we make sure you leave knowing how to care for your child’s teeth once you’re home.

A short, free virtual consultation is the easiest way to start. We understand your child’s needs, outline what’s involved, and send a clear plan and a fixed price in writing before you travel.

Yes. Every specialist is licensed and verifiable through the Saudi Ministry of Health, and our pediatric dentists hold degrees from named institutions including US & UK universities. We’re happy to share their credentials with you.

You’re kept fully comfortable during surgery with local anaesthesia, sedation or general anaesthesia as appropriate, so you feel no pain during the procedure. Afterwards, any discomfort is managed with medication and settles as you heal; we give you a clear plan to keep recovery as smooth as possible.

It depends on the procedure. A surgical extraction may need only a few days; corrective jaw surgery involves a couple of weeks of initial recovery and several months for full healing. We give you a realistic timeline at the consultation so you can plan travel and time off.

Often, yes. Usually for the better. Correcting a jaw set too far back or forward brings the face into more natural balance as well as improving the bite. We plan the result with you in advance using 3D imaging.

Frequently, yes. Many corrective jaw cases involve orthodontic treatment before and after surgery to align the teeth precisely. We coordinate the whole plan so the surgical and orthodontic steps fit together.

In most cases, yes (including impacted ones), as a day procedure under local anaesthesia or sedation. We confirm after reviewing your X-rays, which is one reason the pre-travel consultation matters.

After larger procedures we keep you under observation for a few days and advise when it’s safe to fly. We plan your trip around this and stay reachable once you’re home, so you’re never left without support.

Yes, and it’s free. A virtual consultation with your scans lets us assess your case, outline the surgery and recovery, and send a clear plan and a fixed, all-inclusive price in writing before you commit to travel.

Every surgeon is licensed and verifiable through the Saudi Ministry of Health, and our maxillofacial team holds degrees from named institutions in the United States and Canada. The credentials are real and checkable. We’ll gladly share them at your consultation.

A crown covers and rebuilds a damaged tooth; a veneer is a thin facing that refines the front of a tooth’s appearance; a bridge replaces missing teeth by anchoring to those on either side. At your consultation we recommend the right combination for your teeth and your goals.

Yes. We use Ivoclar ceramics, prized for a translucency and colour depth that match natural enamel, and every restoration is designed around your face and shade. The aim is a smile that looks like the best version of your own, not obviously ‘done’.

Yes. We design your smile digitally and, where possible, let you trial it before anything is finalised. Nothing becomes permanent until you’ve approved the shape, shade and proportions.

A single crown or veneer can often be completed in a couple of visits over a few days; a full makeover is planned around your time in Jeddah, usually within a single trip. We give you a clear timeline at the consultation so you can plan your travel.

Much like natural teeth: brushing, flossing and regular check-ups. Well-made ceramic restorations are strong and stain-resistant, and with good care they last for many years. We give you simple, personalized aftercare guidance.

Yes, and it’s free. A virtual consultation with your photos lets us understand your goals, outline what’s achievable, and send a clear plan and a fixed, all-inclusive price in writing before you travel.

Many patients do. Simpler work fits comfortably around a pilgrimage; a full makeover may need a little more time, which we plan with you honestly so nothing is rushed.

Yes. Every specialist is licensed and verifiable through the Saudi Ministry of Health, and our prosthodontists hold degrees from named US institutions such as Boston University and the University of Pennsylvania. We’re happy to share credentials at your consultation.

For most adults, every six months. After your first visit we set a personalised recall schedule based on the health of your gums, your history of decay and your individual risk; some patients need to be seen more often, others less. Regular visits are what keep small, easily treated problems from becoming large, expensive ones.

No. A routine scale and polish is comfortable for almost everyone. Most patients describe it as a mild scratching or tickling sensation and leave feeling fresher. If your gums are inflamed or sensitive, we can numb the area and work more gently. The healthier your gums become, the more comfortable cleaning is over time.

Yes, and it’s free. A short virtual consultation lets us review your X-rays or photos, confirm whether a root canal is the right treatment, and send you a clear plan and a fixed, all-inclusive price in writing before you book a flight.

Absolutely. Many pilgrims use their time in Jeddah to take care of dental health they’ve been putting off. A check-up and cleaning can usually be completed in a single appointment, and we schedule around your pilgrimage, never against it.

Every dentist at TAM is licensed and verifiable through the Saudi Ministry of Health, and our doctors hold degrees from named institutions in the United States, Canada and the UK. These are real, checkable credentials. We’re happy to share them during your consultation.

The clinic is fully accredited by the Saudi Ministry of Health and follows international infection-control standards. Every instrument is processed through validated sterilisation cycles, and treatment rooms are single-patient by default: no shared spaces, no shortcuts.

You receive a clear, written plan first, with a fixed price, so there are no surprises. Nothing proceeds until you’ve understood and approved it. Many issues caught early (a small filling or a fluoride treatment) can be completed in the same visit; anything larger is planned around your time.

Yes, English is spoken throughout the clinic and across our team. Most nationalities are eligible for a Saudi eVisa, and Jeddah is well connected by direct international flights. Our coordinators can point you to the right visa option for your country.

The placement is done under local anaesthesia, so you feel no pain during the procedure, and gentle sedation is available if you’d prefer to be more relaxed. Most patients are surprised at how comfortable it is, and any soreness afterwards is usually mild and settles within a few days.

Implant treatment is a journey, not a single appointment. Placement itself is quick, but the implant then fuses with the bone over roughly three to four months before the final tooth is fitted. For international patients we plan this into two shorter visits, with a temporary tooth in between.

Usually, yes. Where the bone has shrunk over time, a bone graft or sinus lift can rebuild the foundation an implant needs. We assess this with a 3D scan at your consultation and tell you exactly what’s possible.

All-on-4 (or All-on-6) replaces a full jaw of missing teeth with a fixed, natural-looking set of teeth supported on just four to six implants. It’s a transformative option for anyone with failing teeth or loose dentures.

With good placement and routine care, implants are designed to last for decades, and the implant post itself can last a lifetime. The crown on top may eventually need renewing, like any restoration. We provide clear aftercare and remote follow-up to protect your result.

We use Straumann, a Swiss system with over sixty years of clinical research and some of the highest success rates documented. We don’t use unbranded or generic implants; the brand affects long-term success, and we want to stand behind our work.

Every specialist is licensed and verifiable through the Saudi Ministry of Health, and our surgeons hold degrees from named US and Canadian institutions. The credentials are real and checkable. We’re happy to share them during your consultation.

No, it’s the treatment that relieves pain. The ache you feel beforehand comes from the infection inside the tooth; the root canal removes it. With modern anaesthesia the procedure feels much like a routine filling, and any tenderness afterwards is mild and settles within a day or two with simple pain relief.

Many root canals are completed in a single appointment of about 60–90 minutes. More complex teeth, or those with infection that needs time to settle, may be treated over two visits. We’ll tell you which to expect once we’ve seen your X-rays, which is useful to know if you’re planning travel.

Nothing replaces a natural tooth as reliably as keeping it. A saved tooth preserves your natural bite and appearance and protects the neighbouring teeth and the bone around it from shifting. Extraction is quicker in the moment, but it usually leads to the longer, more involved path of an implant or bridge later.

Often, yes. A back tooth that has had a root canal can become brittle and is usually protected with a crown to restore its strength and appearance; front teeth sometimes need only a filling. We’ll advise what your tooth needs and, for international patients, plan any crown around your time in Jeddah.

Every specialist at TAM is licensed and verifiable through the Saudi Ministry of Health, and our endodontists hold degrees from named US institutions such as Boston University and the University of Pennsylvania. The credentials are real and checkable. We’re glad to share them during your consultation.

The clinic is accredited by the Saudi Ministry of Health and follows international infection-control standards: validated sterilisation for every instrument and single-patient treatment rooms by default. Add modern anaesthesia and microscope-guided technique, and the result is treatment that is both safe and genuinely comfortable.

Yes. A painful or infected tooth shouldn’t wait. Many root canals are completed in a single visit, and we schedule around your pilgrimage, never against it, so you can be comfortable for the rest of your journey.

Yes — women travel independently throughout Saudi Arabia without restriction.

Verifiable US and Canadian university credentials, written warranties up to 10 years, complication insurance, 12-month follow-up, and Jeddah — a location no other dental destination can offer.
