Summary
Sharm Dental Clinic is a long-established private dental practice (founded 1999) on the second floor of Mall 8 in Naama Bay. The clinic's original website domain (sharmdental-egypt.com) resolves to a Hostinger placeholder page as of 2026-08-18 and is not operational. The founding dentist, Prof. Dr. Hassan Mokhtar El Sharkawy, holds a B.D.S. from Alexandria University (1979), an M.D.S. in Oral Surgery from Alexandria (1983), and a Ph.D. in Oral Surgery from Alexandria and Louisiana State University (1989). A second practitioner, Dr. Mostafa Harbi, appears on the clinic's Instagram and Facebook accounts. The clinic offers general dentistry, cosmetic procedures, implants, root canal treatment, and oral surgery. Contact numbers circulating in directories are +20 69 360 2302 and +20 122 1206078; the social-media phone is +20 11 1576 6640.
The clinic's official website domain is non-functional as of August 2026 (Hostinger placeholder). Contact data is drawn from directory listings and social media. Opening hours conflict across sources: WhatClinic lists Tue 11:00-14:00, Wed 11:00-22:00 (Mon/Thu/Fri closed); Clinictor lists Mon-Thu 09:00-18:00, Fri 09:00-17:00, Sat 10:00-14:00. The WhatClinic hours (very limited) seem anomalous; the Clinictor schedule is more typical but could not be verified against an official source. Clinictor's dollar-denominated price figures ($11,650-$20,000) appear to be auto-generated data artefacts and were not used. A price reference from WhatClinic mentions fillings at approximately €86. No prices were published by the clinic itself.
