Dr. Rocco's Specialized Dental Center is a prestigious specialist dental clinic located at the Al Muhairy Shopping Centre in Khalidiya, Abu Dhabi, approaching dentistry as a fine art and combining cosmetic and restorative expertise with advanced state-of-the-art technology, biocompatible materials, and Biological Dental Treatment Principles. The clinic operates under the guiding philosophy that a patient's smile is a worthy investment -- one that deserves the highest level of clinical artistry, specialist knowledge, and personalized attention that contemporary dentistry can provide. With a second location in DIFC, Dubai, the practice serves both UAE cities with the same uncompromising standard of specialist care, a multilingual team capable of consulting patients in English, Spanish, French, Russian, and Chinese, and a deeply patient-centered clinical approach that has earned genuine long-term loyalty from its clientele. Dr. Rocco's is recognized as one of Abu Dhabi's most distinguished dental destinations for patients who prioritize clinical excellence, specialist credentials, and the kind of personalized, unhurried care that complex cosmetic and restorative cases demand.
The clinical team at Dr. Rocco's Specialized Dental Center comprises six internationally trained specialist practitioners, each holding advanced academic qualifications from globally recognized universities. Dr. Vartkes Rocco Arzoumanian, the clinic's founder and director, holds DDS, MS, FAAID, and FIALD qualifications in Prosthodontics from the University of Michigan, USA, bringing American specialist-level expertise in the restoration and replacement of teeth to every complex prosthodontic and cosmetic case. Dr. Pablo Salmeron is a Specialist in Endodontics (DDS, PhD) trained at the University of Murcia, Spain, with postdoctoral expertise in microscopic root canal treatment that elevates precision and patient comfort throughout the endodontic procedure. Dr. Maria Saade holds DDS, MPH, and PhD qualifications in Orthodontics from the American University of Beirut, Lebanon, bringing specialist-level academic training to the management of complex orthodontic cases. Dr. Joseph Emile Bassil (PhD) is a Specialist in Oral Surgery and Pathology trained in France, with specialist expertise in the surgical and pathological aspects of dental and jaw conditions. Dr. Anahita Fereidouni (DMD) is a Restorative and General Dentist trained at Gulf Medical University, UAE, and Dr. Bahia Natour (DDS, MSc) is a Specialist Pediatric Dentist trained at Saint Joseph University in Beirut -- bringing the full age range of dental care under the clinic's specialist umbrella.
Cosmetic Dentistry at Dr. Rocco's is delivered with artistry and precision, encompassing the full range of aesthetic dental treatments from porcelain veneers and veneer rectification through to teeth whitening with sensitivity-free technology and comprehensive smile makeovers. The clinic's approach to cosmetic dentistry is grounded in the treating-dentistry-as-art philosophy that defines the practice -- each case individually designed with meticulous attention to shade, proportion, texture, and facial harmony to produce a result that looks authentically natural while delivering the transformation the patient envisions. Teeth Whitening uses advanced, sensitivity-free bleaching technology that brightens tooth enamel with results well beyond what home products achieve, and without the tooth sensitivity that conventional whitening can cause in susceptible patients.
Dental Implants provide permanent, natural-feeling replacement for missing teeth, with Dr. Arzoumanian's prosthodontic expertise ensuring that the restorative phases of implant treatment -- the crown, bridge, or full-arch prosthesis supported by the implants -- are executed with the precision and aesthetic refinement that specialist prosthodontic training demands. The clinic offers the full range of implant solutions, from single-tooth replacement through to full-arch implant-supported restorations for patients with more extensive tooth loss. Crown and Bridge Work restores and replaces damaged or missing teeth with custom-fabricated restorations -- including zirconia and other premium ceramic options -- designed and placed to the exacting standards the prosthodontic team maintains for every case.
Root Canal Treatment at Dr. Rocco's is performed using microscopic technology by Dr. Pablo Salmeron, whose specialist endodontic training and microscope-assisted technique provide levels of precision, safety, and patient comfort during endodontic procedures that far exceed conventional root canal treatment. The surgical microscope allows the endodontist to visualize the root canal anatomy in exceptional detail, identifying and treating all canals with accuracy that is simply not possible without magnification -- producing more predictable outcomes and reducing the risk of missed canals or procedural complications. Orthodontics is managed by Dr. Maria Saade, whose academic specialist training in orthodontics at the American University of Beirut ensures that both conventional fixed appliance and modern clear aligner cases are handled with the clinical depth that complex tooth movement and bite management require.
Oral Surgery and Oral Pathology are provided by Dr. Joseph Emile Bassil, whose French specialist training in both surgical and pathological aspects of oral medicine gives patients access to expert diagnosis and surgical management of the full range of oral conditions -- from tooth extractions and wisdom tooth surgery through to the biopsy and management of oral lesions and pathological conditions requiring specialist assessment. Treatment of TMJ Problems addresses temporomandibular joint pain, dysfunction, and related bite disorders with the specialist clinical judgment that these complex, multi-factorial conditions demand -- alleviating pain, restoring bite balance, and improving jaw function through individualized treatment planning. Treatment of Gum Diseases provides advanced periodontal care for the full spectrum of gum disease presentations. General Dentistry at the clinic applies Biological Dental Treatment Principles -- a philosophy that prioritizes biocompatible materials, minimal intervention, and whole-body health considerations. Replacing Metal Fillings safely removes old amalgam restorations and replaces them with biocompatible tooth-colored alternatives using protocols that protect patients throughout the replacement process. Gum Whitening uses soft-tissue laser technology to remove excess gingival pigmentation and create an evenly toned, aesthetically pleasing gum line. For Abu Dhabi patients seeking a dental experience that combines internationally credentialed specialists, biological dentistry principles, microscopic precision, and the artistry of a practice built on treating every smile as something worth investing in, Dr. Rocco's Specialized Dental Center represents the pinnacle of specialist dental care in the emirate.
