Advanced American Dental Center and Intercontinental Dental Clinic Reviews

Highly recommending Dr. Mauricio Taborda. He is very professional, he explained to me all the things I need to know about my treatment step by step and I trust him. The results were AMAZING! I definitely had a great experience with this clinic, everyone was friendly. The facilities are clean and I feel safe and at ease. My family comes to this clinic too to do their dental treatments. Me and my children does their treatment here with braces and for regular cleaning and check-ups.

The doctor do what ever she wants without asking what the patients need. The keep losing the measurements. Not professionals anymore

This is definitely the best in UAE. I wouldn't trust my dentistry to anyone else, not here or in the US. I come from the US to have my dentistry done by professionals recognized worldwide for excellence. My dentist in the US said I needed 2 root canals and 2 crowns. Advanced American Dental Clinic said I only needed 1 crown. I got it in August and feels great. These dentists are not out to take your money by doing unneeded work.

The best Dental Center in Abu Dhabi. I have been a patient since 2010 and Dr. Ziegler and his team are by far the best in terms of quality dentistry and patient care. I highly recommend Advanced American Dental Center and their wonderful well educated staff.

The entire family as been seeing Dr. Fernanda for almost two years now, she's highly professional and skilled in her field of work.
Putting all that aside amongst her professional skill one of her greatest assets is her friendly disposition especially when dealing with children.
I would have no reservations in recommending Dr. Fernanda especially for children.

Excellent care for my daughter. Knowledegable orthodontist. Dr Chris Baker is a not only a professional orthodontist she is also a wondeful human being. She imparts beautiful wisdom in addition she inspires my daughter who aspire to be a dentist in the future.

Excellent care. Her wonderful team is kind and very helpful. I am very pleased.

I've been a client of Advanced American Dental Center since 2014. During this time, i've been followed by Dr. Grace that always excelled for her skills both professional and humans. All other doctors and hygienists I met, provided similar standards of high quality care. Same for the rest of the personnel, that takes care of you the moment you walk through the door. Such good quality does not come cheap, but i'd say it's money well spent for your health.

I've been a patient here for more than 5 years now and so far I never had a problem with my teeth. My children also comes to this clinic to do their braces. Everyone is friendly and prices are reasonable because of the quality of work. Highly recommending this clinic to everyone

I was visiting Abu Dhabi few weeks ago and had emergency with my implant. The reception recommended me to see Doctor Ziegler or another Doctor Mauricio. It was Thursday. The bad thing they didn't have any available doctor for me on Thursday and Friday the clinic was closed, so I came on Saturday to see Doctor Mauricio. He fixed my implant and gave me some more recommendations. Thank you Doctor for you to help me to not spoil my vacation. Very professional.

My son has been receiving treatment to sort his bite and teeth straightening. He has had plates, spacers and now braces. All the staff have been great, from reception, nurses and Dr Baker. Always helpful and pleasant. My sons teeth are looking great. Very happy with the treatment.

Very very unhappy with their service. Been their patient since 2013. Had orthodontic treatment which I m not happy about at all. It changed the shape of my lips. And my teeth are still not aligned properly. I had to go in 3-4 times for them to take impressions for my retainers because they couldn t get it right. Everything has been a real torture from beginning to the end. The doctor (Dr John) was always in rush. Like I m not the one paying thousands of dirhams for the service. Had to beg to talk to him most of the times. Because he was always in a rush rush rush. So frustrated I am. Wish I never started my treatment with them. However, the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Looking for a dentist in Abu Dhabi? I recommend you Dr. Maria.
Hi All! When you live in a new country and city one of the most important things is to have good doctors that you can rely on and be comfortable with, and trust above all. I am extremely picky specially regarding dentists, so generally I would have treatments when I traveled to my home country. Luckily 3 years ago I found an outstanding dentist here in Abu Dhabi which excelled excellency, professionalism, attention for small details and most of all, would respond to all my queries regarding my teeth. This dentist is Dr. Maria Ines Diaz from Advance American Dental Centre. Whenever I visited her she would explain to me the procedure (several times if needed), she would answer all my doubts and made sure I was comfortable. She was always making sure I did not suffer any pain during the procedures and was extremely focused in fixing my teeth to match perfection and look like real teeth from the aesthetic point of view. I have recommended her to colleagues and friends since she has given me that assurance that she is an extremely talented dentist.

My first experience with the dentistry in Abu Dhabi was extremely awful and painful. I decided to have a routine checkup to the Advanced American Dental Center without any real problem (just to be sure that everything its ok). They took plenty of X-rays and photos and they gave me, out of the blue, a feedback of extremely costing procedures that I have to do in order to fix my teeth. First procedure I decide to take on Monday 1/5/2017, was a redo a root canal (last mole upper right side) as according to them there was a infection below the root and needed to be cleaned. Although the doctor could see that it s a difficult tooth which was almost attached to the sinus line, he decided to close the roots after the procedure, without allowing for drainage in case of complecations. Furthermore, he did not inform me on what to expect. The next dental appointment was the next day with another doctor to start the procedure for the crown. I informed the new doctor that I am swollen (glance also) and that I have unbearable pain after the root canal. She didn t worry and she said that it is natural to feel some pain and experience swollen gum after a root canal operation. But just for precaution, I requested to skip the procedure for the crown for next day, and focused on another tooth. Next day, I visit again the second doctor to continue the procedure for the crown. I informed her that I still have a huge problem (pain and swollen gum) and she said I might need antibiotics (it was more a question, not a suggestion and definitely not a direction). I informed the doctor that I have problems when taking antibiotics and she said OK, let s wait and see. She asked me If I want to continue with the procedure. She stated that there is no medical reason for not doing it, so we did it. On Tuesday 9/5/2017 after a week of pain, occasional fever and finally the development of a drainage canal on the palette (indication of an obvious abscess), I visited the clinic again to see the second doctor and the owner of the clinic. Instead of taking any actions, they referred me back to the first doctor, who was not available even on phone. The day after, finaly I was able to spoke to the first doctor, who prescribed antibiotics for 1 week and a 3d scan to examine the area. Note that the communication was over the phone. Finally, I was able to see the doctor after the antibiotics cycle who recommended to keep the tooth for monitoring for another 2 weeks before proceeding with any other actions. My overall impression of the clinic is that they do not care about their patients, they try to bully you through their doctoral degree, change their narrative as it suits them and of course they are extremely expensive.

Best clinic and dentist ever. I saw Dr Ziegler and he is very qualified and professional. I went for implant procedure and nobody can see the difference between the implant and my real teeth. I am very happy with the color and shape of it. I got great result. Also my kids are patients of Dr Grace, she is so patient with kids, she has big experience and knowledge.
I will recommend this clinic to all my friends and relatives. It is trustable place.

Extremely professional set of dentist and complete staff. They are very accommodating and helpful to the needs of the childeren. Always improving there methods for the sake of the patient.

My kids are patients of Dr Grace .
she is very kind and very patient with kids .
all the staff are amazing and I wouldn t go anywhere else in Abudhabi . I recommend this clinic they are highly professional .

They are extremely and unreasonably expensive for no valid reason other than taking advantage of the current situation. They charged me AED 2000 for the extraction of 2 teeth from my 2 years old baby , really very disappointing experience.

Very bad service. Very rude dentist Michael Zeigler. He took my money but didn't do the job. He promised to do an implants for me but didn't . From the beginning he was dishonest about my condition and treatment. Talked to a few people who had same experience. Money gone no treatment.

Unfortunately one of the wort places to pick for dental work. Extremely and insanely expensive.They filled up the insurance papers for me thinking my insurance will cover it. However, they knew that the insurance is not covered and they fill up the papers to deceive you. They call their clinic American and being an American I m expecting a doctor who studied and practiced in the USA not from South America.
I would suggest going to another clinic, and save your time and money, my self selected Boston dental, they are professionals, honest, and the price is heaven.
If I was a lawyer I would have sued them.

i am a patient of this clinic , with Dr Grace Eid.
she is very patient and explained to me every detail before proceeding with the treatment.
i recommend her , she gives the best dental services , especially with children .

Great Staff, from the Reception to the Treatment Room. I was treated there for root infection. I saw Dr. Bichler for first aid and Dr. Sleiman for root canal treatment.

Both Dentists were very skilled, considerate and treated me effectively. Additionally I liked about Dr. Bichler for being very calming/comforting and Dr. Sleiman for working very quick and versed.

I highly recommend this Clinic.

The actual dentistry seems fine and competent. The problem is price and helpfulness of office service. First, there are far less expensive dentists here so keep shopping. Also, during my first exam, they immediately wanted to sell me on an orthodontics solution. But, the last straw was when I asked for their help to re-print an invoice converted into USD so that I could file for my flexible spending account. No accommodation with that. Time to go somewhere else.

I had a tooth extracted by Dr Grace Eid. She was very gentle and considerate. She took her time to explain the procedure to me and was very patient in answering all my queries.
Dr Eid went out of her way to make the extraction as painless as possible. She is a very talented dentist with a kind heart. I always recommend her to my friends.

Excellent, all the staff including our wonderful dentist Dr. GRACE.

I came to advanced american dental center in abu dhabi to see Dr. Ziegler because of my bite problem. I was told by my friend that he was a TMJ specialist and that he cured his TMJ problem! I didn't believe him until I saw Dr. Ziegler and did the diagnosis and treatment with him. I had really bad facial muscle pain, headaches and migraines that I didn't knew was connected with my bite. I never knew my bite has something to do with all this pain I'm having. After a week of diagnosis Dr. Ziegler did adjustment with my bite and I never had that bite in my life. He definitely changed my life. Now I don't have much pain as I did before. I will definitely recommend him to everyone who's having TMJ problem, or even headaches and migraines to have their bite checked.

Me and my family are patients of dr Grace. She is so caring , professional and trusted. She listens to your worries and concerns. As well, She is really highly skilled when dealing with kids . Such a good experience, thank you for all the excellent work.

I am writing this to document my appalling experience at your clinic earlier today.

To start with, I arrived just before my scheduled time only to find out that Dr. Mauricio had not arrived yet. We were ushered into a treatment room where we waited for 35 minutes until he finally arrived. On entering the room he failed to apologise for being late, failed say a simple greeting, or even acknowledge the patient (my mother) who was already in the treatment chair. Simply pointing at her he asked "Does she speak English?". And when I confirmed that she indeed does speak English quite well, he proceeded to completely ignore her and went straight to narrating to me the report that I had given his assistant before his arrival.

Dr. Mauricio made a brief explanation of what he "saw" from the report I gave, made the briefest of clinical examinations, instructed his nurse to make new radiographs and a C.T. scan and left the room. After the scans, he returned back, INTERMITTENTLY, stepping in and out ever few minutes, juggling between patients in different chairs, as he made an incoherent explanation of his suggested treatment plan, all directed to me, and continuing to completely ignore the patient who informed him several times that she would like him to explain to her so she would understand what he is explaining.

He finally left again and said he would be back. 15 minutes later, his nurse came back with a scrap piece of paper, with three scribbled treatment options on it, telling me that these are the options we should choose from but that he wanted one more radiograph. At this point, I got totally fed-up of the insensitive, uncaring, rude, unprofessional attitude and refused to complete the consultation and we left. In 2 hours and 20 minutes that we spent at your clinic (11:00am to 01:20pm) we saw Dr. Mauricio a combined total of roughly 20 minutes.

I informed the front-desk of my pre-mature termination of the consultation, my complaint and my extreme dissatisfaction as I made the consultation payment in full. They promised to relay my complaint to Dr. Mauricio and the administration but ofcourse I have heard nothing from him or anyone after.

I am extremely disappointed with the treatment I received at your clinic. I do not speak of dental treatment. I speak of professional patient management and care. Dr. Mauricio does not have time. Does not have interest. Does not have care. And quite honestly, simply does not have respect for his patients. It is a crying shame that a clinic as established as yours should condone, and ignore such terrible patient care.

I am appalled.

Excellent dental centre. All the staff are professional, caring, and helpful.

Dr. Maria s been my dentist for several years now. I truly appreciate the time she takes to explain the procedure before she starts . She does not rush, and her technique is impeccable. I have never felt any pain or discomfort while being treated. I would highly recommend her!!

What an absolutely amazing experience and impeccable service by Dr. Moritz Bichler. I was considering doing veneers for a long time carefully observing what other people got done, and the artificial look of veneers made me think twice before committing to this pretty expensive work. That was the case until Dr. Moritz joined the Advanced American Dental Center. After a long, detailed conversation I understood that this doctor will be able to give my teeth a natural look - the look I was dreaming about for a long time. And oh my - how right was I!?! My teeth look as if they are done by Mother Nature. Shape, colour and shades of the veneers could not look any more natural! They are absolutely perfect! They fit my face features, skin tone and my age. Every single aspect was considered by Dr. Moritz in this work, and he was extremely patient with me and my long lists of questions during numerous visits to the practice. Everybody keeps complimenting my teeth as they look like a piece of art, and I cannot stop smiling.
I highly recommend Dr. Moritz and his wonderful team. I could not be happier with the result.

Dr. Fernanda is a highly skilled dentist and is great with kids. She always explains to me and my ten year old daughter what is happening and what kind of treatment needs to be done and why. My daughter feels very comfortable with her, and I can truly trust her and her skills as well. Highly recommended!

I took my 5 year daughter for a check up at Dr Grace Eid in the Advanced American Dental Center after a friend recommended her. My friend always sang her praises and I was only convinced to book the appointment after I heard the same thing from other friends.
I must say that I am glad i listened to their recommendation. Dr Grace Eid was very kind to my daughter, explaining to her what needed to be done. She even inflated one of her gloves and drew a face on it, and gave it to my daughter as a present to make her smile and relax. My daughter took the glove with her to school to show her friends. Thanks to her, taking my daughter to her routine dental check up is no longer a dreaded event.

Moritz is an AMAZING dentist. He recently joined and he's the best I've had in many years. Knowledgeable, thoughtful, and he listens to your concerns.

Dr. Moritz Bichler is a great dentist who takes time to explain the procedure and works with great care and highest precision. Highly recommendable!

Dr Fernanda is very friendly, knowledgable and always provide us with an enjoyable visit. I took my son for his first check up more than a 1 year ago, ( since than we went back another 2 times). I was concern that he would be scared, but for my surprised Dr Fernanda made him very comfortable. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pediatric dentist.

Best doctors, top of the line facilities and techniques and superb procedures; I had braces, 3 implants and gum surgery. The dental assistants are brilliant and hospitable. Reception is fast and attentive. My doctors are warm and friendly. I miss my old doctors but absolutely happy with my new doctor!

Highly recommending this dental clinic to everyone.I was treated very professionally. Everything was clean and organized. Dr. Mauricio did a really great job with my gum problem by laser procedure with no pain at all! I you're seeking for a painless perio dentist and I'm highly recommending Dr. Mauricio!!!

This clinic definitely practice GOOD DENTISTRY. I've been through different dental clinics at both Dubai and Abu dhabi and other dentists just rips me off leaving me with bad restorations. I had to redo most restorations I did with my past dentists. Dr. Ziegler has been my dentist ever since and I know I can rely on a dental clinic that really knows what they're doing. So far after all the treatment I did with this clinic I never had a problem. I just come back for regular cleaning and check-up. Highly recommending this to everyone!

Very nice and clean clinic. Dr. Grace is a perfect dentist specially with the kids: my son was very comfortable with her and i strongly recommend her.

Totally recommended!
I booked an appointment with Dr. Maria after reading good reviews and comments on a Facebook page of expats in Abu Dhabi. Since then she is taking care of my dental health.
The purpose of my visit was to change some fillings that were getting old.
As most of the people, I didn t like going to the dentist, but this time it was different, she was fantastic because I didn't feel anything at all.
Dr. Maria change my old amalgams fillings to composite and did some cosmetic work on one of my teeth which look and feel completely natural.
She was very professional during the treatment and explained me every step of the procedure in a very clear way.
I would totally recommend her to anyone.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! It is extremely expensive for poor services. I went to the clinic because I was in pain so because dr Ziegler was in vacation I went to the first dr who was available that day. I ended up seeing dr. Maria who did a root canal extraction for me. While she was doing that she decided to file my front tooth WITHOUT MY CONSENT!!! I had no idea she will do something cosmetic because she thought it would look better . I noticed at the end when she gave me the mirror that she made my perfectly fine front tooth smaller. I couldn t believe my eyes!!!!! I started asking questions, how could she do something like that without telling me?? So then she said she ll fix it. So she made it just a little bit longer with filling which was ONE SHADE DARKER THEN MY COLOR!!! I went afterwards to see dr Ziegler and explain him the situation. HE WAS SO UNPROFESSIONAL AND RUDE saying that she made me a favor and that he doesn t see any difference in color!!! I will try to attach the pictures here so you can see the difference but it is A JOKE! DO NOT GO THERE! I am not confident in smiling again! They DISTROYED MY SMILE!!!! Dr Ziegler is the most unprofessional dentist I ve ever seen and Dr Maria should have her license remove. These people shouldn t be dentist!
Oh and after 2 months, the filling broke (obviously) so now I am having a cracked front tooth! Shame to them! They call themselves dentists and professionals?! They shouldn t have the licenses in the first place! And I ve spent over 30.000 dhs in that clinic in the past 3 years for crowns, fillings, root canal and routine checkups. DO NOT DO THE SAME MISTAKE!!!

I love this clinic! Everyone is friendly and this place makes me be not scared to see my dentist. Dr. Mauricio is very professional, I had gum problem and after I did this laser treatment with him I feel so much better and definitely highly recommending Dr. Mauricio and this clinic. Price is reasonable as I can see high quality treatment and good results. Definitely giving this clinic 5 stars!

All the staff are very caring and they offer good hospitality. The doctors are very sweet and explain everything clearly. I would recommend coming to the orthodontics and to be treated here.

Dr. Svetlana did really good job in my periodic teeth cleaning!
