Dentist / Orthodontist for kids

My DS needs braces badly, have searched on here and seen some of the quotes for adult braces yikes i am having hot sweats, not covered on insurance so a friend suggested a really good Filipino Dentist in Karama where she has hers done very very reasonably have you any experience of using a dentist which is not of the overpriced Jumeirah Dental Clinic prices?

Be interested to hear your comments,

DH uses a dentist in Karama and has had some great treatments done there and no problems wondered if anyone else has?

@egg- Just a point regarding Nicholas and Asp, the one thing you can be assured of is that not only will you have very competent professionals overseeing the procedures they use the best products on the market which means they will last much better as well... with the Karama dentists, even though they may be cheaper as well as good dentists the products they use are usually inferior...

with the postgraduate training school you can also pay in installments. We paid 500dhs more or less monthly.

My daughter has been seeing Dr Saji (orthodontist) at The Cedars hospital in Jebel Ali. He is a very nice man, great with kids. I also pay him monthly everytime she goes to have her braces tightened (his suggestion, not mine). Would highly recommend him.

Karama dentist has cost me 2 years of not opening my jaw properly and having teeth removed that shouldn't have. Check the certificates! Dr Joy on Al Wasl road fixed for me and i was very happy with the results.

Thanks Ladies, i dont mind paying, its just the paying up front that frightens me Lol, installments are fine if its 6000 then thats ok i want him to have nice teeth but its one of them things free in home country but not here and not covered on insurance, i will go see the karama dentist and also check out the training centre worth getting a couple of quotes i think. Will have a look thank you, :)

Contact the Nicholas and Asp postgraduate orthodontic training school in healthcare city. It costs around 6,000 all up for braces and they do an excellent job. All work is supervised every step of the way by world class orthodontists. All the students are qualified dentists doing their speciality training. I couldn't fault the service. I think the initial assessment is free so what do you have to lose.? Go along and see what you think. Edited to add both my teenagers had their braces through this clinic and now have lovely teeth. I have seen both children and adults there. <em>edited by plum2 on 07/03/2011</em>

You could also try Nicholas and ASP training centre, think its a lot cheaper, and you have a senior professional making sure its done properly

I have paid the exhorbitant Jumeirah prices and ended up having more work to recify/ clear up in the UK. I dont have any experience with Karama dentists but you already say DH has been and had good experiences, that would be good enough for me. Good luck.
