How to choose the best dentist in Rawalpindi
There's no official ranking of dentists, so the best dentist for you is the one who suits your treatment and whose record you can check. These are the questions we'd ask, and how we answer them. For Bahria Town specifically, see our top 5 dental clinics in Bahria Town Rawalpindi.
- 01
Are they qualified and registered?
Every dentist practising in Pakistan has to be registered with the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC). It’s fine to ask for the registration number and where they trained.
At Dental Plus: Our dentists’ qualifications are listed on the homepage, and our founder’s are on this page.

Is there a specialist for your treatment?
A root canal is a job for an endodontist, braces for an orthodontist, and crowns and dentures for a prosthodontist. General dentists handle a lot themselves and often refer complex cases to a specialist.
At Dental Plus: Each of these is led by a consultant in that specialty.
Who does what - 03
How long have they been around?
A clinic that has looked after the same families for years has a record you can ask people about.
At Dental Plus: We have been open since 1984, and many patients come as whole families.
Our story - 04
What do patients say?
Read reviews in patients’ own words, and look for comments on the treatment you need.
At Dental Plus: Our reviews are public on Google, and some are on our homepage exactly as written.

Will they explain the plan and the cost first?
You should know what is being done, why, and what it costs before any work starts.
At Dental Plus: We show you both before we begin, and you can ask anything first.
