Important — about this score

Please read before drawing conclusions about this clinic.

This score is an automated, opinion-based assessment generated by SmileJet's proprietary AI algorithm from publicly available information — including aggregated third-party reviews, clinic-published materials, and other open-source signals. It is not a statement of verified fact, a professional medical opinion, or an endorsement, and individual experiences may differ.

How the algorithm penalises scores

Our methodology applies score reductions where signals are detected that, in the algorithm's assessment, may indicate: unverifiable or potentially overstated claims about clinical experience or credentials; review patterns the model flags as inconsistent with organic user behaviour; or limited independent corroboration of marketing statements.

These adjustments reflect algorithmic signal-weighting only and do not constitute an allegation of any specific wrongdoing by this clinic or its staff.

Why Choose Dr. Joy Dental Clinic in Dubai?

Dr. Joy Dental Clinic Jumeirah is the group's flagship Centre of Excellence for implants and smile makeovers, featuring CEREC same-day crowns, in-house lab, and valet parking on Al Wasl Road.

Dr. Joy Dental Clinic on Jumeirah Al Wasl Road is the flagship location of the UAE's largest and most celebrated dental clinic group, designated as a Centre of Excellence in Implant Dentistry and Smile Makeovers. Situated on the prestigious Al Wasl Road in the heart of Jumeirah -- just ten minutes from both Mall of the Emirates and Sheikh Zayed Road -- this branch represents the pinnacle of the Dr. Joy group's clinical offering, combining the most advanced dental technology with an exceptional team of specialists and the convenience of complimentary valet parking for all visitors.

The Dr. Joy Dental Clinic group was established in 2004 by Dr. Joy Antony and Dr. Maya Jacob, and has grown to become the UAE's largest dental clinic network, with 11 branches spanning Dubai. The group is the only dental organisation in the UAE to hold the Superbrand award, a distinction earned through consistent excellence, patient satisfaction, and a reputation built over two decades of trusted practice. The Jumeirah Al Wasl branch is where Dr. Joy Antony himself -- a specialist orthodontist, third-generation dentist, and Masters graduate from Bangalore University -- practices alongside the group's most senior team of specialists.

The clinical team at this flagship location is exceptionally strong. Dr. Kamal Kiswani is a specialist implantologist and general dentist who leads the branch's advanced implant program, performing immediate implant procedures that deliver finished crowns on the same day as implant placement -- a service that sets a very high standard for efficiency and patient experience. Dr. Shriharsha Pilathadka is a specialist prosthodontist and general dentist with expertise in complex restorative rehabilitation. Dr. Smitha Annie Jacob is an additional prosthodontist contributing to the team's restorative depth. Dr. Narmatha Jayabal brings specialist endodontic expertise in root canal treatment.

The orthodontic team at the Jumeirah Al Wasl branch is particularly distinguished. Dr. Basel Mofti is both a specialist orthodontist and a certified Invisalign specialist, guiding patients through clear aligner treatment with the precision and expertise that comes from both formal training and extensive clinical experience. Dr. Rajat Dutta and Dr. Rana Muwahid provide additional orthodontic capacity, ensuring minimal wait times and personalised attention for patients undergoing braces, aligners, and retainer therapy. Dr. Namrata Mathrawala is a specialist pediatric dentist dedicated to gentle, child-centred care.

One of the defining technological advantages of the Jumeirah Al Wasl branch is its state-of-the-art in-house laboratory, equipped with the latest CEREC milling and 3D scanning systems. CEREC technology allows the clinic to design, mill, and fit high-precision ceramic crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers within a single appointment, eliminating the need for temporary restorations and the delays associated with external laboratory fabrication. This same-day ceramic restoration capability is one of the most patient-friendly advances in modern dentistry and is a major reason why the Jumeirah branch is highly sought after by professionals and time-conscious patients.

Implant dentistry at the Jumeirah Al Wasl Centre of Excellence is delivered to the highest standard. The team's ability to place implants and deliver immediate crowns on the same day -- where clinically appropriate -- reduces the treatment timeline significantly and allows patients to leave the clinic with a functional, natural-looking restoration from the very first surgical appointment. This immediate loading protocol, combined with the clinic's rigorous diagnostic and surgical planning processes, consistently produces outstanding long-term implant outcomes.

Smile makeovers at this branch draw on the full resources of the group's in-house laboratory and the deep cosmetic expertise of Dr. Joy Antony and the specialist team. Whether the treatment involves porcelain veneers, Lumineers, full ceramic crowns, teeth whitening, or a combination of procedures, the Jumeirah Al Wasl team approaches every cosmetic case with a highly refined aesthetic sensibility and a commitment to results that look completely natural.

The clinic offers the full range of general and family dental treatments alongside its specialist and cosmetic services, from routine check-ups and hygiene care through to oral surgery, periodontics, and pediatric dentistry, making it a comprehensive one-stop dental destination for the families and residents of Jumeirah and beyond.

I genuinely regret going to this clinic and I would not recommend anyone to go here. I originally went in for a re-root canal consultation, and after examining me they said the tooth needed to be extracted instead. I was in a lot of pain and just wanted it sorted as soon as possible, so when they told me the surgeon could see me immediately, I agreed. The procedure itself was honestly awful. When they were trying to draw blood, the needle was inserted incorrectly, which was extremely painful and caused quite a bit of bleeding. I was already anxious and started panicking, and when I asked if everything was okay, my concerns felt completely dismissed. My arm was bruised for days afterwards. During the extraction, the room felt chaotic. The dentist kept asking the nurses where tools were, and staff were rushing in and out trying to find equipment. It didn’t feel organized or controlled, which made the whole experience even more stressful. Two weeks later, I went back for a follow-up because my gums were still swollen and it didn’t seem like it was healing properly. The dentist looked at it for what felt like a few seconds and just told me to gargle with salt water. That was it. No proper check, no explanation, no plan. What makes it worse is the cost. I was made to do a cone beam scan (one of the only scans not covered by my insurance) without anyone clearly informing me beforehand or asking for proper consent regarding the additional cost. In total, I paid over 11,000 AED for this experience. For that amount of money, I expected far better care. Instead, it left me feeling like I had walked into a clinic more interested in price gouging than patient care. It honestly felt like dealing with grifters rather than medical professionals. Afterwards I checked how much other clinics charge for this and it was significantly less. Finally, I requested a report for my insurance, and I got a report with one sentence. My claim was then rejected because it wasn’t detailed enough so I requested one again. I was given a report that was very clearly generated by ChatGPT, with even the same formatting. This means that my personal and medical data was used in chatGPT, raising major red flags regarding data privacy which in this day and age is not acceptable. I understand dental work isn’t pleasant, but I expected basic professionalism, organization and transparency, especially at that price point. Unfortunately, that wasn’t my experience.

Had two root canal treatments with Dr. Marjan Markhan, and honestly it was one of the best dental experiences I’ve ever had. She was genuinely caring, kind, and meticulous, and she kept checking in to make sure I was comfortable throughout. My case required last-minute appointments, and Dr. Markhan went out of her way to accommodate me, which I really appreciated. She explained everything clearly, worked with real precision, and you genuinely feel you’re in the hands of a true professional. Her assistant and the whole team were also wonderful. Highly recommended, especially if you’re nervous about dental work.

Was a customer for 2 years only to find out that the crown the doctor installed: 1- did not fit standards for thickness, causing me to suffer for 6 months as he kept asking me to "wait" 2- gaslighting me that I'm not doing enough to protect the inflamed gum (only on that tooth somehow) 3- the location and pressure required zirconia but he insisted to use what he incorrectly claimed was harder: porcelain
