Dr. Layla Haddad trained in Beirut and London and has worked in Dubai since 2009. She founded Veloradent in 2012 with a simple rule that still guides the clinic: treat only what needs treating, and explain every option before a single tooth is touched.

Her clinical work focuses on implant-supported crowns and bridges, All-on-6 full-arch cases and the rebuilding of worn dentitions. She plans each case digitally with the in-house lab team at JLT, so patients see the proposed result before treatment begins.

Dr. Omar Al Suwaidi completed his specialist orthodontic training in Edinburgh and returned to Dubai in 2012. He sees growing patients from the age of seven, when early checks can show whether jaw growth needs guiding.

Omar is certified in the Damon passive self-ligating system and in custom lingual braces bonded behind the teeth. He favours treatment plans that avoid extractions where the face and bite allow it, and he follows every patient through the retention phase.

Dr. Elena Markovic specialised in orthodontics in Belgrade and later completed aligner training in Italy. She joined Veloradent in 2017 to set up the clear aligner service at the JLT clinic.

Most of her patients are working adults who want straighter teeth without visible brackets. Elena plans every case from a 3D scan, shows the predicted movement on screen at the first consultation, and uses remote check-ins so busy patients come in less often.

Languages

Dr. Rahul Menon has limited his practice to endodontics for more than a decade. He works with an operating microscope and rotary instruments, which helps him find and clean narrow or curved canals that are easy to miss.

Many of his patients are referred for re-treatment after an earlier root canal has failed. Rahul explains the realistic chance of saving the tooth before starting, and he will tell you plainly when an implant is the better long-term choice.

Dr. Sara Nasser trained in Amman and completed a master's in aesthetic dentistry in Italy. She leads the Digital Smile Design service at JLT and works side by side with the in-house ceramist.

Sara starts every cosmetic case with photos, a short video and a 3D scan, then shows you a trial smile in your own mouth before any tooth is prepared. Her aim is a result that looks like your teeth on a very good day, not a set of new ones.

Dr. James Whitfield spent fifteen years in UK hospital and specialist practice before moving to Dubai in 2016. He carries out the surgical side of implant treatment at the JLT clinic, including sinus lifts and bone grafting.

James plans every implant on a CBCT scan and places most of them through a 3D printed surgical guide, which usually means a smaller incision and a quicker recovery. He also removes impacted wisdom teeth under local anaesthetic or conscious sedation.

Dr. Mariam Khalil trained in Cairo and Manchester and has practised as a periodontist in the UAE since 2014. She sees patients with bleeding or receding gums, loose teeth and bad breath, and those referred before implant or orthodontic treatment.

Mariam measures and charts every gum pocket at the first visit so progress can be tracked in numbers, not guesswork. Most of her treatment is non-surgical; when surgery is needed, she uses gum grafting and regenerative techniques to rebuild lost support.

Dr. Anika Shah trained in Mumbai and London and has worked only with children for over a decade. She runs the pediatric room at the Trade Centre clinic, where the first visit is often just a ride in the chair and a count of teeth.

Anika uses tell-show-do, fluoride varnish and fissure sealants to keep young teeth healthy. Parents stay in the room, and she spends as much time explaining brushing, snacks and bedtime habits to them as she does with the child.

Dr. Karim Fawzi trained in Damascus and Heidelberg and joined Veloradent in 2018. He is often the first dentist new patients meet, carrying out full check-ups and building a plan that brings in specialists only where they are needed.

Karim also covers most emergency slots. If you arrive with a toothache, a broken tooth or swelling, his first goal is to get you out of pain the same day and then explain the options for a lasting repair.
