Objectives: To survey and analyze the distributive pattern of dentists working in private dental clinics in Al-Ahsa Governorate, Saudi Arabia. Methodology: This study used a unified questionnaire to survey private dental clinics in Al-Ahsa Governate from August to December 2019. Clinics were included if they had registered with the Ministry of Health and were operating in Al-Ahsa’s private sector. Clinics that were not available to visit during the survey period were excluded. During the study, participating clinics were visited and several data points were collected for each facility, including the total number of practicing dentists, year they joined the facility, and each clinician’s nationality, gender, and specialization. Results: The study showed 69 dental clinics registered with the Ministry of Health and serving the private sector in Al-Ahsa Governate. Sixty-six clinics (95.7%) agreed to participate. In the resulting survey of 301 practicing dentists, 73.8% were non-Saudi with Egyptians making up the largest national group at 27.2%. Among the Saudi dentists (n=79), 95% had joined their clinic in the last three years. For all participants the primary specialization was general dentistry (80.4%), the majority of whom were Saudi (31%) or Egyptian (27.7%). Among the dental specialists, 42.4% were orthodontists followed by maxillofacial surgeons at 27%. Conclusion: Private dental clinics in Al-Ahsa governorate are operated mainly by non-Saudi dentists. In the last three years, the number of Saudi general dentists joining private dental clinics has increased but there is still a need for dental specialists.
