About AQUA

A clinic we built for ourselves.

AQUA Dent Clinics was founded in 2021 by four doctors from two families — Dr. Mohamed Bamashmous, Dr. Laila Bamashmous, Dr. Jamil Aref, and Dr. Jehad Aref — all of whom still practise here every day. This is not a franchise or a branch of a brand — it is a space designed by doctors who treat their own patients in these rooms, shaped to match the clinic we wished existed when we were the patients.

Our story

The first idea.

AQUA began with a simple observation: the patient experience inside dental clinics had not kept pace with the medicine itself. The technology had advanced, the instruments had become more precise, yet the feeling on arrival was still tense — a rushed front desk, a narrow corridor, the chemical air, and a long wait without explanation.

Dr. Mohamed Bamashmous — consultant orthodontist trained at Boston University and chair of Dental Public Health at King Abdulaziz University — decided with his sister Dr. Laila Bamashmous (American Board–certified consultant orthodontist, Boston University) and two close friends from the Aref family, Dr. Jamil Aref (cosmetic dentistry specialist, UCLA) and his brother Dr. Jehad Aref (general dentist), to build something different.

Not a bigger clinic, and not merely a more luxurious one — but a different experience altogether: a seafront address, an interior that feels closer to a hotel than a hospital, Finnish Planmeca equipment, and a consulting team that works as one unit rather than as individuals in parallel. Four founders who treat their own patients here every day.

"We want every patient to feel like a guest, not a case."

That sentence became the brand promise — A Belief Ends With a Smile. It is not a marketing line but a working standard against which every decision is measured. The choice of materials, the arrangement of the rooms, the music in the corridors, the way we greet each guest: all of it is tested against the same question — does this person feel like a guest, or like a patient?

Purpose · Vision · Mission

Why, where to, and how.

Three sentences we revisit before every significant decision — from hiring a new doctor, to choosing equipment, to the design of the reception itself.

Purpose

To transform how patients perceive the dental experience — by imprinting a positive change on their lives.

We redesign the visit itself — from arrival to follow-up — so that every patient leaves with something that outlasts the appointment.

Vision

To be the leading brand perfecting the fusion of art and science in dentistry — and to help grow dental tourism in Saudi Arabia.

Our aim is to be the destination of choice for patients across the Kingdom and beyond — for precise clinical work delivered in a truly considered environment.

Mission

Uniform patient care that builds trust in the AQUA clinic first, and in our individual doctors second.

Our entire team follows the same standards and protocols, so every patient receives the same considered experience regardless of which doctor they see.

Unlike most clinics that are doctor-oriented, we focus on our guests' comfort — as one unit with uniform practices and beliefs. Brand Positioning · Strategy Deck · 2024
Where AQUA sits in the market

A premium dental clinic in Jeddah — with a specific meaning

The word "premium" is overused. At AQUA it means five decisions we are measured on every day: consultants whose qualifications are published and verifiable on each profile, Planmeca Finnish equipment at the latest generation, valid CBAHI accreditation, transparent published pricing for every service category, and a written warranty on implants and restorations. We are not the cheapest clinic in Jeddah — and that is deliberate.

If you are looking for the cheapest option, Jeddah has clinics that price below AQUA — and they may fit your need. If you are looking for clinical precision, full transparency in your treatment plan, and a multi-specialty team under one roof instead of fragmented referrals, AQUA is built for you.

The founding team

Four doctors, two families, one clinic.

AQUA was founded in 2021 by four doctors from two families — Dr. Mohamed Bamashmous and his sister Dr. Laila Bamashmous, and Dr. Jamil Aref with his brother Dr. Jehad Aref. All four still treat patients here today, and all four are involved in every complex case decision.

How we work

The principles we do not compromise on.

Six principles drawn from our brand strategy document — not marketing slogans, but the standards we actually measure every decision against.

01
Impact

A distinctive dental experience that lifts the way you show up in the world — and returns a clear, enduring smile.

02
State of the Art

The latest technology and techniques for precision and comfort — instruments that reflect the same craftsmanship as the environment around them.

03
Culture

An equal standard of care for everyone, and a supportive, genuinely warm environment for our team and our guests alike.

04
Guest Care

From scheduling and intake to post-visit follow-up — a considered, individually tailored experience for every guest.

05
Trust

Uniform practices and shared beliefs — so every patient receives the same considered experience, whichever doctor they see.

06
Convenience

We know our patients are often pressed for time — so we meet their needs at every step of the journey, on their schedule.

تجربتي مع د حاتم الأقصم في طب الأسنان كانت من التجارب التي تستحق الإشادة سبق لي أنا وعائلتي التعامل معه في أكثر من زيارة وكان دائمًا عند حسن الظن ما يميّزه ليس فقط مهارته الطبية بل أيضًا إنسانيته العالية في التعامل يستمع باهتمام ويشرح الخيارات بكل وضوح وشفافية ويحرص على راحة المريض نفسيًا قبل أي إجراء أسلوبه الهادئ وشغفه بعمله ينعكس بشكل مباشر على جودة النتائج الاحترافية التي يعمل بها مع دقته واهتمامه بالتفاصيل تجعل المريض يشعر بثقة واطمئنان من أول لحظة وفي كل مرة أخرج من عنده راضيًا وممتنًا لهذه التجربة المميزة كما أن طاقم الاستقبال يتميز باللباقة وحسن التنظيم والعيادة بشكل عام نظيفة ومرتبة وتبعث على الراحة مما يعكس اهتمامًا واضحًا بجودة الخدمة من جميع الجوانب. هنيئًا للعيادة هذا الاختيار الموفق فوجود طبيب بهذه الكفاءة والرقي إضافة حقيقية لأي مكان نسأل الله لهم دوام التوفيق

تجربتي مع العيادة كانت فوق الممتازة الحمدلله من البداية للنهاية. بدأت معهم قبل سنة و٨ شهور تقريباً، ما حبيت اعلق إلا بعد الانتهاء من العلاج والتجربه. من اول موعد بعد الكشفية والإشاعة تم عمل خطة علاجية واضحة، واجتمعوا الدكاترة معي وشرحوا كل مرحلة قبل نبدأ، وهذا الشيء خلاني مرتاح وواثق. بدأت بالتقويم مع الدكتور محمد بامشموس، كان متابع حالتي من أول يوم، وكل موعد مراجعة يشرح لي كل شيء، وما كان مستعجل أبدًا، كان همه تطلع النتيجة بأفضل شكل. والحمد لله النتيجة كانت ممتازة وفعلًا فرقت معي كثير. وبعدها كملت مع دكتور جميل عارف، وأمانة شغله يبيض الوجه. يهتم بأدق التفاصيل، وما يرضى بأي شيء إلا إذا كان مقتنع بالنتيجة. حتى اختيار اللون جلس معي وساعدني فيه، وكان حريص إن الابتسامة تطلع طبيعية وتناسب وجهي. والحمد لله النتيجة طلعت أفضل من اللي كنت متوقع، وكانت تستاهل كل الصبر. ودكتور عبادة أسطه شغله احترافي، وكان يشرح لي كل خطوة قبل يسويها لان الموضوع فيه عصب وهذا الشيء عطاني راحة كبيرة. ودكتور جهاد عارف حبيب ومتعاون وما أنسى طاقم التمريض، كانوا متعاونين وبشوشين في كل زيارة، وتعاملهم مريح. واخيراً أشكر موظفين الاستقبال على تعاملهم الراقي وتعاونهم في المواعيد خلال الفتره كامله. ومن الأشياء اللي عجبتني إني كنت أدخل على موعدي بدون أي تأخير تقريبًا، والعيادة دائمًا مرتبة ونظيفة. الله يعطيهم العافية جميعًا، وأنصح فيهم بكل ثقة. 👏
