He is more of a conservative dentist, recommending safer options and that's why I chose him. Not like dentists nowadays who prefer quicker tratments.

I visited Dr. Talass for a consultation, and he advised me to either go for an orthodontic treatment (braces) or bridges to improve, and repair the gaps in my teeth. The information he provided was transparent, and reassuring. Dr. Talass was also very helpful with providing me a flexible payment plan that suited my budget, and the final results of my dental treatment was excellent. I highly recommend Dr. Talass for his excellent quality of service.

I struggled with making up my mind about undergoing a major oral surgery (to fix my overbite) or just living with what I was born with. After seeing 5 orthodontists/dentists in Dubai who all insisted that oral surgery was my only option, two of my friends recommended I see Dr. Faysal Talass. I have already heard of Dr. Talass as he is a well known orthodontist in UAE with an outstanding reputation and a long standing history in the country (also holds a PHD which I learnt after googling him). When I first met Dr. Talass, he examined my teeth, took x-rays and then gave me 2 options. The first option he recommended highly was a simple process of 18-24 months by extracting 2 of my upper teeth and realigning my bite with braces and the second option (which he voted against) was the surgery given the surgery has 3-4 years’ recovery time and comes with many side effects especially for adults over 18 years (like myself). His approach, communication skills and friendliness was beyond my expectation. Although he is more on the expensive side (the clinic provides payment plans if you don't want to pay at one go), I can’t be more thankful for getting my teeth fixed with him once and for all.
