Top 7 Dentists in Zarqa 2026

When do you need a dentist?

Dentistry covers the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the teeth, gums and mouth, from a simple cavity to complex oral surgery. The clinics on this page list routine check-ups and cleaning, fillings, root canal treatment, extractions, crowns and bridges, teeth whitening and panoramic X-rays (OPG).

Signs it is time to book

• Tooth or gum pain that keeps coming back or does not settle
• Gums that bleed when you brush or floss
• A visible hole, dark spot or chipped tooth
• Sensitivity to hot, cold or sweet food that lasts
• A filling or crown that feels loose or has come out
• Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth
• A routine check-up, commonly every six months, though your dentist may advise a different interval based on your oral health

Children also need regular visits. Every clinic here lists treatment of tooth decay and inflammation in children.

Warning signs that need urgent care

Call 911 or go to a hospital emergency department straight away if you have:

• Swelling of the face, jaw or neck that is spreading, especially with fever
• Swelling that is closing an eye or making it hard to breathe or swallow
• A serious injury to the face or jaw

See a dentist the same day for:

• Bleeding after an extraction that does not stop with firm pressure on a clean gauze pad
• Severe toothache with fever
• A knocked-out adult tooth. Hold it by the crown, not the root, and do not scrub it. If you can, put it back in its socket; if not, keep it in milk and get to a dentist as quickly as possible. Do not put a knocked-out baby tooth back.

Do not start antibiotics left over from a previous illness. Let a dentist or doctor decide what you need.

How to choose among the dentists here

People looking for the best dentists in Zarqa usually want someone suitable for their particular problem, close to home and covered by their insurance. Use these criteria:

• Match the problem to the profile. All seven list a similar range of general services. Two show a declared focus. Dr. Hala Najjar holds the Jordanian Board in Periodontology and Dental Implants, which is relevant for gum disease and tooth-replacement questions. Dr. Mohammad Al Birawi is listed under prosthodontics (crowns and bridges).
• Check qualifications. Three profiles publish their dentistry degree. Dr. Najjar also publishes her board qualification.
• Think about location. Three clinics are in New Zarqa, three are listed on Sa'Ada Street and one is in Downtown Zarqa. A short trip matters when treatment such as root canal work or crowns needs several visits.
• Look at the hours. Basmat Dental Center is the only clinic here with confirmed Friday hours, and it is open until 22:00. Two clinics close earlier on Thursdays: Hala Najjar Clinic at 15:00 and Munes Al Shdaifat Clinic at 15:30.
• Check insurance. Five profiles list insurers. Compare them with your policy before booking.
• Judge the communication. A good first visit ends with a clear explanation of the problem, the options and the cost of each stage. Be cautious if you feel pressured into extensive or cosmetic work on the spot.

Remember that the order of this list reflects how complete each profile is, not how well any dentist treats patients.

What to expect at the first visit

Most first appointments include questions about your symptoms and health, an examination of your teeth and gums, and sometimes an X-ray. Simple treatment may start the same day. Larger work is usually planned over several sessions.

What to bring

• Your ID and insurance card
• Any previous dental X-rays or OPG images. Abu Sara Dentistry specifically asks patients to bring them.
• A list of your medicines, especially blood thinners, and any allergies
• Details of conditions such as diabetes or heart disease, and whether you are pregnant
• For children, any previous dental records

Questions worth asking

• What exactly is the problem, and how sure are you?
• What are my options, including what happens if I wait?
• How many visits will this take?
• What will each stage cost, and what will my insurance cover?
• How should I care for the tooth afterwards, and when should I come back?

Write down your symptoms before you go: when they started, what triggers them and what eases them. This helps the dentist reach a diagnosis faster.

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

The insurers listed on these profiles are United Insurance — NatHealth, MetLife Alico, The Islamic Insurance Company, Arab Orient Insurance and Al-Nisr Al-Arabi Insurance Company. Coverage varies by policy, so before you book:

• Confirm with your insurer that your plan includes dental care.
• Ask which procedures are covered. Cosmetic treatment such as whitening may be treated differently from fillings or extractions.
• Ask whether crowns, bridges or root canal treatment need pre-approval.
• Ask the clinic for the consultation fee and whether X-rays are charged separately.
• For multi-visit treatment, request a written estimate covering every stage.

When you call, confirm the exact address and floor. For example, Dr. Munes Al Shdaifat's listed area is Sa'Ada Street, while his biography gives a building on Prince Shaker Street. You can start a booking from each dentist's profile page on ClinicsJo.

Getting there

Zarqa is home to around 1.7 million residents across districts including New Zarqa, Zawahreh, Russeifa, Hashemiyah, Dhlail and Azraq. All seven clinics on this page are in Zarqa city. Three are in New Zarqa and the rest are in central Zarqa, so use the map on each profile to plan your route.

If you live in Russeifa, Hashemiyah or Dhlail, allow for traffic at busy times. A clinic with longer hours may make a multi-visit treatment easier to fit around work or school. Patients travelling from Azraq face a longer journey and may want to group appointments where the treatment plan allows.

For serious emergencies, such as spreading facial swelling, difficulty breathing or a major jaw injury, call 911. The governorate's hospitals include Zarqa Government Hospital, Prince Faisal bin Al-Hussein Hospital and Prince Hashem bin Al-Hussein Military Hospital.

Checklist before you book

• Write down your main problem and when it started.
• Check whether the dentist's listed services or focus match your need.
• Compare confirmed opening hours with your schedule, including Thursdays and Fridays.
• Confirm your insurer is listed and that your policy covers the treatment.
• Ask for the consultation fee and any X-ray charge.
• Confirm the exact address, building and floor.
• Gather previous X-rays, your medicine list and your insurance card.
• Ask for a written treatment plan and estimate before larger work.
• Know the urgent warning signs and the emergency number 911.
