Dr. Abdulrahman Binyahya

Dr. Abdulrahman Binyahya is a general dentist and the founder of Dr. Binyahya Dental Clinic in Dhahran, with 7 years of experience in dentistry. He works in general and preventive dentistry, including routine check-ups, teeth cleaning and tartar removal, teeth whitening, and restorative and cosmetic fillings.

Dr. Abdulrahman begins the visit by examining the teeth and gums, with an X-ray where needed, and explains the findings, the treatment plan and its steps to the patient before starting. A routine examination detects many cases of decay at an early stage, and tartar along the gum line; staining that brushing does not remove and sensitivity to cold also call for an examination. Treatment at that stage is usually simpler: early decay may be treated with a small filling before it reaches the nerve, and removing tartar in good time may avoid the need for gum treatment later. He also explains how to care for the teeth each day between visits, because daily care limits the build-up of tartar and the development of decay.

Before any procedure, the dentist assesses whether it suits the case. Whitening, for example, is not usually carried out until any decay or gum inflammation has been treated, and it does not change the colour of existing fillings or crowns. Dr. Mohammed Abdullah, who works in root canal treatment, fillings and prosthetics, and Dr. Ziyad Abdulkarim, who works in oral surgery and implants, also practise at the clinic; if the examination shows that a root canal or a surgical procedure is needed, the patient is referred to the dentist concerned. The clinic has a digital panoramic X-ray unit and a dedicated sterilization room.
