Top 7 Dental Clinics in Marj Al-Hamam 2026

When do you need a dentist?

Dentistry covers the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the teeth, gums and mouth. This ranges from a simple cavity to complex oral surgery. Common services include:

• check-ups and cleaning
• tooth-coloured (light-cured) fillings
• root canal therapy
• extractions
• fixed and removable prosthetics such as crowns, bridges and dentures
• teeth whitening

It is worth booking an appointment if you notice any of these:

• Tooth or gum pain that lasts more than a day or two, or keeps coming back
• Gums that bleed when you brush or floss
• A visible hole, dark spot or chip in a tooth, or a lost filling
• Sensitivity to hot, cold or sweet food that does not settle
• Persistent bad breath, a loose adult tooth, or a sore or patch in the mouth that has not healed within about two weeks

Many people are advised to have a check-up every six months. Your dentist may suggest a shorter or longer interval depending on your oral health. Children benefit from check-ups once their first teeth appear.

Warning signs that need urgent care

Some dental problems cannot wait for a routine appointment. Call 911 or go to a hospital emergency department if you have:

• swelling of the face, jaw or neck that is spreading, especially towards the eye
• difficulty breathing, swallowing or opening your mouth
• a high fever together with dental swelling
• bleeding after an extraction that does not stop with firm pressure
• a serious injury to the face or jaw

If an adult tooth is knocked out, see a dentist straight away, ideally within an hour. Hold the tooth by the crown (the white part), not the root. If it is dirty, rinse it briefly without scrubbing. Keep it in milk on the way. Do not try to put a baby tooth back in. A pharmacist can advise on over-the-counter pain relief while you wait for an appointment.

How to choose among the clinics here

The seven clinics above all list general dentistry. Their records differ in ways that can help you decide. Remember that the order reflects profile completeness, not clinical quality.

• Match your need to the published services. Dr Mohammed Rahhal Endodontic Clinic describes root canal treatment, retreatment and tooth-pain follow-up. Dr. Ayman Al Shoubaki Dental & Oral Surgery Clinic lists oral and maxillofacial surgery, implants, periodontics and paediatric dentistry among its specialties. Orthodontics appears in the records of Dental Care Centre and the Al Shoubaki clinic. Implants are mentioned in the descriptions of Dr Majdi Marrar Dental Clinics, Al Amir Dental Clinic and Dr Khaldoun Al Aydi Dental Clinic.
• Check the hours against your week. Dental Care Centre is the only clinic here with confirmed Friday hours. Dental Care Centre and Dr Mohammed Rahhal Endodontic Clinic stay open until 19:00. The Al Shoubaki and Marrar clinics close earlier on Thursday.
• Ask who will treat you. Most of these profiles link one named dentist. Dental Care Centre links two. If you want a particular dentist, ask for them by name when booking.
• Think about children. Every clinic here lists treatment of decay and inflammation in children. Ask whether the dentist regularly sees young children, and whether the clinic can book a short first visit so your child can get used to it.
• Imaging on site. Six of the clinics list panoramic X-ray (OPG). The Al Shoubaki clinic lists dental assessment with appropriate imaging. On-site imaging can save a separate trip.
• Insurance. Only one clinic here lists an insurer: Arab Orient Insurance at the Al Shoubaki clinic. For any other plan, ask the clinic directly.

People searching for the best dental clinics in Marj Al-Hamam often get the most out of a short phone conversation first. Ask how the clinic handles your specific problem before you commit to a course of treatment.

What to expect at the first visit

Before you go, prepare:

• a list of your medicines
• any allergies, especially to medicines or latex
• conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, bleeding problems or pregnancy

This matters if you take blood thinners, because they can affect extractions and surgery. Bring any recent dental X-rays, your national ID or passport, and your insurance card. Arrive a few minutes early to fill in forms.

During the visit, the dentist will usually:

• ask about your symptoms and medical history
• examine your teeth, gums and soft tissues
• decide whether an X-ray is needed

For a check-up, cleaning may be done the same day or booked separately.

Questions worth asking:

• What exactly is the problem, and what are my options, including waiting?
• How many visits will the treatment need, and what happens at each one?
• What will each stage cost, and is anything not included?
• What aftercare should I follow, and what symptoms should make me call back?

For larger plans, such as implants, several crowns or extensive cosmetic work, ask for the plan in writing. Taking time to think, or getting a second opinion, is reasonable.

Insurance, fees and booking: what to ask before the appointment

Ask for the consultation fee when you book. Also ask whether X-rays, cleaning or follow-up visits are charged separately. If you have insurance:

• confirm that the clinic accepts your policy and that your specific plan is covered
• ask whether treatments such as root canals, crowns or implants need prior approval from the insurer
• check how cosmetic treatment such as whitening is handled, since policies often treat it differently from medically needed care
• ask whether you pay upfront and claim back, or whether the clinic bills the insurer directly

When booking, confirm the day, the time and which dentist will see you. Several clinic descriptions advise confirming clinician attendance before visiting. If you need to cancel, let the clinic know early so the slot can go to someone in pain.

Getting there

All seven clinics are in Marj Al-Hamam, in Amman governorate. Each entry above gives the building, complex or nearby streets taken from that clinic's own record. Use the map location on the clinic's profile to plan your route.

If you are coming from other parts of Amman, such as Sweifieh, Khalda, Tla' Al-Ali, Abdoun, Dabouq, the Gardens, Shmeisani, Jubeiha or the 7th Circle, allow extra time at busy hours. Several of these clinics are on upper floors of commercial complexes. Ask about the floor, a lift and parking if you have mobility needs or are bringing small children.

Some treatment is best done in a hospital setting, for example for certain medical conditions. In that case your dentist can advise on a referral. Major hospitals in Amman include Jordan University Hospital, King Hussein Medical Center, Al-Bashir Hospital, Specialty Hospital and Istishari Hospital. For any emergency, call 911.

Checklist before you book

• Check that the clinic's published services match your problem (for example root canal, implants, orthodontics or children's care)
• Compare confirmed opening hours with your schedule, including Thursday and Friday
• Ask which dentist will see you and confirm they are attending that day

• Ask for the consultation fee and what it includes
• Prepare your medicines list, allergies, medical conditions and any previous X-rays
• Bring your ID and insurance card
• Ask for a written treatment plan and cost estimate before larger treatment
