First off I usually get my teeth cleaned twice a year at Maidan Clinic. It costs around 40- 60KD I can't really remember. Anyhow, I decided to try somewhere else- Bayan Dental Center. I've been hearing about them a lot lately, from bloggers trying them out, to their new ad, to my Aunt M who is a loyal patient there.
So I asked Dad if he wanted to get his teeth cleaned, too, and he agreed. I called them up at around 3 and got appointments for 7pm which is great- same day, no wait! What caught me off guard was their price. 15KD for teeth cleaning, such a big difference compared to Maidan's prices. I couldn't wait to compare their services.
Although we chose the Sharg location which is surrounded by construction work and detours, it was really easy to find and suprisingly hassle free. I loved the building they were in and checked out what other companies were there to maybe apply for a job there!
Of course if I start talking about Bayan's interior I might never stop. Its so crisp and clean, fresh and very spacious. Minimalist in design yet colorful and full of energy. I really liked it. Too bad it was at night because they had huge glass windows and I'm sure they had a killer view from up there.
The employees were all cheerful, very polite, and professional - I loved that, it makes a huge difference.
I couldn't help but remember haunting flashbacks of my waits at various public clinics or hospitals when I was younger- the smells, the worn out furniture and scraping walls, and the overall filthiness. What an enormous difference, I wish we had places like this back then.
The teeth cleaning itself was a breeze. It passed by so quickly. It wasn't painful at all and I felt so good after it was done. However, it kind of dried out my lips and made them swell a bit- but who would complain about swollen lips.
I noticed a few differences between Bayan and Maidan. I guess Maidan take a bit longer and they have this fluoride type mask that they put on my teeth at the end. But other than that, not a big difference. I would definately go to Bayan for my next trip because of the overall ambiance. The owners have done a great job, it gives you a general feel good mood just by being there.
