Top 3 Dentists in Mecca Street 2026

When do you need a dentist?

Dentistry covers the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the teeth, gums and mouth. That ranges from a simple cavity to complex oral surgery. Common reasons to visit include check-ups and cleaning, fillings, root canal treatment, extractions, crowns and bridges, and cosmetic care such as whitening.

Book a visit if you notice:

• Tooth or gum pain that keeps coming back or does not settle
• Gums that bleed when you brush or floss
• A visible cavity, or a chipped or cracked tooth
• Sensitivity to hot, cold or sweet food that persists
• An adult tooth that feels loose, or bad breath that does not go away
• A routine check-up is due. Six-monthly visits are a common recommendation, but your dentist may suggest a different interval based on your teeth and gums.

Gum bleeding and early decay are often painless at first. Regular check-ups help catch problems while they are simpler to treat.

Warning signs that need urgent care

Some dental problems should not wait for a routine appointment:

• Swelling of the face, jaw or neck that is spreading, especially with fever
• Swelling that makes it hard to breathe, swallow or open your mouth. Call 911 straight away.
• Bleeding after an extraction that does not stop with firm pressure on a gauze pad
• A knocked-out adult tooth, or an injury to the face or jaw

If an adult tooth is knocked out, hold it by the crown, not the root. Keep it moist in milk or saliva and seek care immediately. For severe swelling, injury or uncontrolled bleeding, go to a hospital emergency department in Amman, such as Jordan University Hospital or Al-Bashir Hospital, or call 911.

How to choose among the dentists here

The three clinics on this page publish the same list of fifteen services. You will often need to look beyond the service list to decide. Rankings that claim to show the best dentists in Mecca Street rarely measure treatment quality, and this list does not either. Use criteria that matter for your own situation:

• Your main need. Dr. Hamed Al Omar lists orthodontics as a sub-specialty. Dr. Enas Al Jamal's biography highlights cosmetic treatment, zirconia restorations, gum aesthetics and implants. Dr. Akram Al Adhami's biography mentions implants, restorations, root canal and cosmetic care. If you need implants or braces, ask the clinic who carries out that treatment and how it is planned.
• Opening hours. All three confirm hours from Saturday to Thursday. Dr. Enas Al Jamal's clinic is open until 20:00, which may suit people who work late. Dr. Hamed Al Omar's clinic closes at 17:00. Dr. Akram Al Adhami's centre closes at 18:00, or 16:00 on Thursday.
• Children. All three list treatment of tooth decay and inflammation in children. Ask how the clinic helps anxious young patients and whether it books longer appointments for them.
• Preference for a female dentist. Dr. Enas Al Jamal is listed as female.
• Training and experience. Ask any dentist about their training and experience with the specific procedure you are considering, especially for implants, orthodontics or surgery.
• A clear plan. A good consultation ends with an explanation of the options, the expected number of visits and an estimate. Ask for this in writing for larger treatments.

What to expect at the first visit

A first appointment usually starts with your medical and dental history. The dentist then examines your teeth and gums and may take X-rays. All three clinics list panoramic X-ray (OPG), which shows all the teeth and jaws in one image. The dentist should then explain what they found and discuss the options with you.

What to bring

• Your ID and insurance card, if you have one
• A list of your medicines, particularly blood thinners and medicines for diabetes, heart conditions or bone health
• Details of allergies, including to medicines or latex
• Any recent dental X-rays or treatment records from a previous dentist

Tell the dentist if you are pregnant or might be. This can affect decisions about X-rays and some treatments.

Questions worth asking

• What exactly is the problem, and what happens if I leave it untreated?
• What are the alternatives, and what are the pros and cons of each?
• How many visits will this take, and what does each one involve?
• How should I care for the treated tooth afterwards?
• What symptoms after treatment mean I should call the clinic?

You do not have to agree to a large treatment plan on the first day. It is reasonable to take time to think, or to seek a second opinion.

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

Confirm costs and coverage before you sit in the chair. When you call, ask:

• The consultation fee, and whether X-rays such as an OPG are charged separately
• Insurance. Does the clinic accept your insurer? Does your policy need pre-approval for treatments such as root canal therapy or crowns?
• Cosmetic cover. Check your policy before planning whitening or other cosmetic work, as insurance plans often treat it differently from medically necessary care.
• Estimates for larger treatments. Implants, bridges and multiple crowns often span several visits, so ask whether payment can be staged.
• Waiting times, and what the clinic does if you develop pain before your appointment
• Cancellation or rescheduling rules

Book within the confirmed hours shown for each clinic. Mention briefly what the visit is for, such as a check-up, pain or a cosmetic consultation, so the clinic allows enough time.

Getting there

All three clinics are on or around Mecca Street in Amman:

• Dr Akram Al Adhami Dental Centre: Al Hussaini Complex 101, first floor, Kilo Circle, Mecca Street
• Dr Hamed Al Omar Dental Clinic: 106 Mecca Al Mukarramah Street
• Enas Al Jamal Dental Clinic: the Mecca Street area. Confirm the exact building when you book.

You may be coming from other parts of Amman, such as Khalda, Sweifieh, Tla' Al-Ali, Shmeisani or the 7th Circle. If so, allow extra time for traffic, especially at busy hours. When booking, ask about parking, the building entrance and which floor the clinic is on. This matters most if you have mobility needs or are bringing young children. Some treatments, such as extractions, can leave you uncomfortable afterwards. Consider having someone drive you home.
