Top 5 Hemisection Dental Surgery Doctors in Jordan 2026

When do you need this specialty or procedure?

Hemisection is a dental procedure used mainly on teeth with more than one root, most often lower molars. The tooth is divided so that one damaged root, with the part of the crown above it, is removed while the healthy part is kept. Dentists usually consider it when one root is badly affected by decay, infection, a crack or bone loss, and the rest of the tooth is still worth saving. Root-focused care is provided by dentists with endodontic (root canal) training, sometimes working with an oral surgeon.

Only a dentist can judge whether this procedure suits you, because it depends on an examination and X-rays. Book a visit if you notice:

• Tooth pain that returns when you bite or lingers after hot or cold drinks
• A tooth that still hurts after a root canal
• Swelling or a small bump on the gum near a back tooth
• A tooth that feels loose or has a crack you can see or feel
• A bad taste or fluid coming from the gum near a tooth

Urgent warning signs: call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department if you have swelling that spreads to your face, neck or eye, difficulty breathing or swallowing, a high fever with a feeling of being very unwell, or bleeding that does not stop. Do not wait for a routine appointment in these cases.

How to choose among the doctors here

Start with the procedure itself. In this list, hemisection is named among the published services of Dr. Mutasem Irdaisat and Dr. Samar Talafha. For the other three profiles, ask the clinic directly whether they perform hemisection and, if not, whether they will refer you to someone who does.

Then compare the practical points each profile publishes:

• Location: Tabarbour, Amman is shared by three profiles, two of them at Zoom Dental Clinic, so ask which doctor you will see. Khalda and Sweifieh, both in Amman, are the other two districts.
• Hours: Hours differ by profile. Some run until 22:00 on several days, which may suit working patients.
• Insurance: Listed insurers differ by profile, so check your own policy against the list.
• Fees: One profile lists its consultation as free. For the others, ask the clinic for the consultation and treatment cost before the visit.
• Verification: Some profiles are verified by the platform, meaning ClinicsJo has checked certain details. Each profile page shows its status.
• Experience and reviews: Years of experience and approved reviews are shown only as published. They are useful background but do not replace a consultation.

A good match is a doctor whose services, location and hours fit your situation and who explains the options clearly.

What to expect at the first visit

The first visit usually includes a review of your symptoms and medical history, an examination of the affected tooth and gums, and X-rays. Your dentist may test the tooth with cold or pressure to find the source of pain. You will then be told whether hemisection, a root canal, another procedure or simple monitoring is the most suitable option, and whether you need a specialist.

Bring the following:

• Any X-rays or scans from previous dental treatment
• Records of earlier root canal or surgery, if you have them
• A list of medicines you take and any allergies
• Your identification and insurance card, if you plan to use insurance

Prepare questions in advance:

• Is hemisection the best option for this tooth, or are there alternatives?
• Will the procedure be done here, or will you refer me to a specialist?
• How many visits will the treatment take, and what aftercare is needed?
• Will a crown or other restoration be needed afterwards? Crowns are often recommended to protect treated teeth.
• Who handles follow-up and emergencies after treatment?

Insurance, fees and booking

Before booking, confirm three things. First, whether the clinic accepts your insurer. Listed insurers in this group are Arab Orient Insurance, NatHealth and Med Service, The Specialized Company, depending on the profile. Second, whether the insurer covers hemisection and the related X-rays, since cover varies by policy. Third, the total cost of the treatment in writing, not only the consultation fee.

One profile publishes a free consultation. For other profiles, ask whether the consultation is charged and how much. Ask for a written estimate for hemisection and any crown that may follow, so you can compare.

When booking, state your reason for the visit, for example a tooth that still hurts after a root canal. This helps the clinic schedule enough time and tell you whether you should come in urgently.

Getting there

The clinics are in Tabarbour, Khalda and Sweifieh, all in Amman. Use the district named on each profile when you search for directions, and check the map location shown on the profile before you set out. Taxis and ride-hailing services are common options within Amman; ask the clinic which entrance or building to use, since two profiles share the same clinic in Tabarbour. If you have swelling, pain or fever that is getting worse, do not travel for a routine appointment. Call 911 instead.
