The UAE isn't one regulatory market. A Dubai clinic deals with NABIDH, an Abu Dhabi clinic with Malaffi, and one in Sharjah or Ajman with Riayati. Clinics opening a second-emirate branch usually find this out too late.

A dental practice isn't a general clinic with different instruments — the workflow is fundamentally different. The gap between purpose-built dental software and a generic system that "supports" it appears at the first six-visit plan across four teeth.
The hard part of opening a clinic isn't the licence — it's the first six months after it. This roadmap covers the right licensing sequence, fit-out decisions, and the operating costs that never appear in feasibility studies.
