For Kurds in the UAE · 4 min read
The short answer
Yes, there is a Kurdish-speaking dentist in Dubai: Dr. Khalid Saeed, a cosmetic and implant dentist from Duhok in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, DHA licence 06772519. He speaks Kurdish, Arabic and English and practises at Creative Arts, 614 Jumeira St, Jumeirah 3, Umm Suqeim 1. Kurds in the UAE can be treated by him in Dubai or at his main clinic in Duhok.
Kurds from the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, Syria, Turkey and Iran live and work across the UAE, and many would rather explain what they want to a dentist in their own language, especially for cosmetic treatment where taste and detail matter. This page is for them and their families.
Dr. Khalid Saeed is a Kurd from Duhok. His main clinic, Celebrity Smile Center, is there, and he is a co-founder of Creative Arts in Dubai, where he has worked for about three years. See Dr. Khalid Saeed's profile at Creative Arts Dubai or his full biography.
Quick facts
Yes. Dr. Khalid Saeed is a Kurdish dentist practising in Dubai, and you can describe your case and ask about your plan in Kurdish from the first WhatsApp message to the review after treatment.
Language matters here for practical reasons. With veneers or a Hollywood smile, the dentist has to understand exactly what you mean by white but natural or slightly longer, and you have to understand the preparation level, the alternatives and the price before you agree. Some of those decisions cannot be undone, so talking in your own language reduces misunderstandings.
The same goes for older parents who are not confident in Arabic or English: they can ask about discomfort, timing and cost directly, without an interpreter.
Dr. Khalid is from Duhok, where Badini (Behdini) is spoken, a dialect of the Kurmanji branch. Many Kurds from Syria and Turkey, who mostly speak Kurmanji, usually follow it without difficulty.
He also treats patients from Erbil and Sulaymaniyah in Duhok. If your dialect differs, or a family member does not speak Kurdish, Arabic and English are available too, and a relative is welcome at the consultation.
Kurds from the Kurdistan Region of Iraq often know Celebrity Smile Center in Duhok and can choose between Dubai and Duhok. For Kurds from Syria, Turkey and Iran living in Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Sharjah, the Jumeirah clinic is usually the more practical option, with Duhok possible if they are visiting the region.
For Iraqis in general, Arab and Kurdish alike, there is a separate guide to an Iraqi dentist in Dubai covering follow-up and booking from across the Gulf.
Dr. Khalid Saeed (Khalid Ali Saeed) is a cosmetic and implant dentist who studied dentistry at Hawler Medical University in Erbil and is known as the celebrity smile maker. He holds DHA licence 06772519, verifiable on the Sheryan register, and was honoured at the Creative Star Award 2024 ceremony in Dubai.
He works with digital smile design and a mock-up before any preparation, a written plan before treatment starts, and minimal preparation where the case allows. His veneers are made at Creative Art Dental Lab in Jumeirah, Dubai for patients in both Dubai and Duhok.
The method is the same in both cities; what differs is published pricing, time and travel:
| Dubai (Creative Arts) | Duhok (Celebrity Smile Center) | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | UAE and Gulf residents | People visiting or living in Kurdistan |
| Prices | Published starting prices | Not published; written in the plan after the exam |
| Lab | Same building | Veneers made in the Dubai lab |
| Languages | Kurdish, Arabic, English | Kurdish, Arabic, English |
| Laser | As planned | Waterlase for gum contouring and removing old veneers |
In Dubai Dr. Khalid offers veneers, Hollywood smiles, smile design, crowns and implants. Starting prices published by Creative Arts in October 2026: veneers from AED 1,250 per tooth, a Hollywood smile from AED 12,500 for 10 upper veneers or AED 25,000 for 20, implants from AED 4,000, and in-clinic whitening from AED 699. Your final price is in your written plan.

Most visitors fly to Erbil International Airport and continue by road to Duhok; Sulaimani or Baghdad airports are alternatives. Coming from Turkey, you can cross by road at Ibrahim Khalil near Zakho, as explained in the guide to arriving by road from Turkey.
Entry and visa rules depend on your nationality and change, so check official sources before you travel. Send your photos early so the number of days can be estimated before you book tickets.

Creative Arts Dental & Aesthetics · Jumeirah, Dubai
Alongside his clinic in Duhok, Dr. Khalid Saeed treats patients at Creative Arts Dental & Aesthetics in Jumeirah, which he co-founded, with Creative Art Dental Lab in the same building. The centre's official pages:
614 Jumeira St, Jumeirah 3, Umm Suqeim 1, Dubai · +971 4 342 4444 · daily 10:00–20:00 · Dr. Khalid DHA licence 06772519
Yes. Dr. Khalid Saeed is a Kurdish cosmetic and implant dentist from Duhok who speaks Kurdish, Arabic and English. He practises at Creative Arts, 614 Jumeira St, Jumeirah 3, Umm Suqeim 1, Dubai, open daily 10:00–20:00, and holds DHA licence 06772519. When booking, ask for an appointment with him and mention that you prefer Kurdish.
Most likely, yes. Dr. Khalid is from Duhok and speaks Badini, which belongs to the Kurmanji branch spoken by most Kurds in Syria and Turkey, so communication is usually easy. If a medical term needs clarifying, Arabic or English can be used as well. What matters is that you understand your whole plan before you agree to it.
Creative Arts published, in October 2026, veneers from AED 1,250 per tooth and a Hollywood smile from AED 12,500 for 10 upper veneers or from AED 25,000 for 20. These are starting prices; the final price is written into your plan after the exam, depending on the number of teeth, the material and gum health. Duhok prices are not published and are set after an exam there.
In some cases, yes, if it is agreed in the plan from the start, because Dr. Khalid works in both cities and the veneers are made in the same Dubai lab. Not every treatment splits well; implants, for example, need healing time. Discuss it at your first consultation and do not book flights until you know the sequence and the number of days.
If you live in Dubai or a nearby emirate, the Jumeirah clinic is usually simpler: starting prices are published, the lab is in the same building and the clinic is open daily. If you visit family in south-eastern Turkey, Duhok is close by road via the Ibrahim Khalil crossing near Zakho. Either way, start by sending photos, and check entry rules with official sources before travelling.
Yes, and it is good practice with any dentist. Search the DHA Sheryan register by name or professional number; Dr. Khalid Saeed's is 06772519. The licence is a first step. Then ask to see real published cases and a written plan listing the teeth, material, alternatives and price.
Yes, and many families prefer it, especially when one person does not speak Kurdish or when a big cosmetic decision is being made. The consultation can move between Kurdish, Arabic and English as needed. What matters is that everyone understands the plan and the alternatives before treatment begins.
