Specialized Medical and Dental Centre (SMDC) is a multi-specialty healthcare clinic founded in Dubai on August 8, 2011. Located in Suite 118 of the Al Hudaiba Awards Building on Diyafa Road in Jumeirah 1, the centre combines dental care with dermatology and integrative medicine services, making it a genuinely broad-spectrum practice. Over more than a decade in operation, SMDC has built a patient community across Dubai and neighboring emirates, with a 4.6-star rating drawn from patient reviews across multiple platforms.
The clinic is led by Dr. Sachint Shah, Medical Director and General Dentist, who oversees both the clinical direction of the practice and hands-on patient care. He is joined by Dr. Shruti, an MDS-qualified GP Dentist specializing in a range of general and specialist dental treatments, and Dr. Majd Al Rabadi, who handles dental surgery cases. The team approaches each patient collaboratively, discussing cases internally to present the most appropriate treatment plan and ensure patients have a clear understanding of their options, expected outcomes, and the impact on their oral health and aesthetics.
Cosmetic dentistry is one of the clinic's primary strengths. SMDC provides smile analysis and full smile makeovers, combining digital assessment with individualized treatment planning to achieve results tailored to each patient's facial features and aesthetic goals. Porcelain veneers and prepless veneers are available for patients who want to correct color, shape, spacing, or proportion without significant tooth reduction. Zircon crowns and bridges offer durable, aesthetically superior restorations for damaged or missing teeth. Inlays and onlays provide a precise middle ground between fillings and full crowns for moderately damaged teeth. Teeth whitening and dental jewellery complete the cosmetic offering for patients seeking brightness enhancement or decorative additions.
Orthodontic treatment at SMDC covers multiple systems to accommodate different patient needs and preferences. Conventional braces, lingual braces (fitted to the inner surface of the teeth for near-invisibility), and invisible aligners are all available. The orthodontic program serves both children and adults, addressing irregularities in tooth alignment, bite, and jaw position that affect both oral function and facial appearance. In cases where misalignment contributes to gum disease or tooth wear, orthodontic treatment forms an important preventive intervention as well as a cosmetic one.
The periodontic department handles the health of the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. Services include prophylactic treatment (professional cleaning and preventive care), gummy smile correction, gum surgeries and flap procedures for moderate to advanced periodontal disease, and deep scaling and root planing to remove calculus deposits and smooth root surfaces affected by infection. Early and thorough management of gum disease is central to the clinic's preventive philosophy, as untreated periodontitis is a leading cause of tooth loss and has documented links to systemic health conditions.
SMDC also provides pediatric dentistry for children and root canal treatment for patients requiring endodontic intervention to save teeth affected by infection or trauma. The clinic's use of digital X-rays, intra-oral cameras, computerized diagnostic software, and track light monitors enhances the accuracy of diagnosis and the precision of clinical work, while reducing patient radiation exposure compared to conventional radiography.
Beyond dentistry, SMDC offers dermatology and aesthetic medicine services including laser hair removal, skin treatment, and body contouring -- reflecting the centre's integrated approach to personal health and appearance. An integrative medicine program rounds out the offering, drawing on complementary therapies that address the mind, body, and spirit together as a foundation for healing and wellness.
The clinic operates Monday through Saturday from 9am to 9pm, with Sunday appointments available on request. SMDC accepts a range of insurance affiliations and treats patients of all ages and nationalities, with staff accustomed to the multicultural environment of Jumeirah and the wider Dubai community. For patients seeking a single centre that bridges high-quality dental care with dermatological and integrative health services in an established, professionally run Jumeirah clinic, SMDC offers a genuinely comprehensive option.
