Specialist dental care under one roof

Abul Makarem Dental Clinic runs two branches in Giza — one on Faisal Street, minutes from the pyramids, and one in Beverly Hills, Sheikh Zayed. Instead of one dentist covering every case, six specialists each work in their own discipline: implants, prosthodontics, oral surgery, endodontics, orthodontics, and children's dentistry.

That matters most for the cases patients put off — a cracked or broken tooth, for example, usually starts with a root canal, moves to a crown, and ends with an implant only if the tooth can't be saved. Every instrument between patients goes through a Class B autoclave made in Italy, the sterilisation standard hospitals use.
