Magrabi Health Expands Dental Leadership with UniDents Acquisition
In a move that underscores its commitment to redefining integrated healthcare delivery in the region, Magrabi Health has completed the acquisition of UniDents Dental Clinics, a Jeddah-based practice known for its advanced facilities and highly skilled Saudi professionals. The transaction represents a key step in Magrabi Health’s strategy to expand access to specialized dental care and establish one of the Kingdom’s most comprehensive healthcare networks.
A Legacy of Excellence
Magrabi Health has consistently led the way in medical innovation across Saudi Arabia, recognized as a pioneer in ophthalmology, dentistry, and ENT care. With over seven decades of excellence, the group has built a reputation for innovation, clinical excellence, and a strong commitment to patient safety and quality care. The addition of UniDents consolidates this legacy by strengthening Magrabi Health’s dental platform and enhancing capacity amid rising demand for specialized dental care.
Expanding Dental Capacity
Strategically located in the heart of Jeddah, UniDents operates 18 state-of-the-art chairs with a team of exceptional Saudi dental professionals. Its integration into Magrabi Health’s network significantly enhances our capacity and strengthens our presence as a specialized healthcare provider in the Kingdom. This acquisition fully supports our ambition to build a sustainable platform that blends clinical excellence, renowned expertise, and digital innovation. It also accelerates our progress toward our aspiration to reach 400 dental chairs within two years, reflecting our commitment to Vision 2030 goals of localization, innovation, and enhanced patient access. Looking ahead, UniDents will further reinforce this ambition by expanding its footprint in Jeddah with additional locations to better serve the community.
Speaking to “Riyadh Daily” Dr. Abdulrahman Barzangi, Deputy Chief Executive Officer / Chief Operating Officer of Magrabi Health, described the acquisition as transformative, saying: “By bringing UniDents into the Magrabi Health family, we are not only increasing capacity but also elevating the standard of dental care in Jeddah. This strengthens our network, expands patient access, and accelerates our journey toward integrated, patient-centered healthcare across the Kingdom.”
Driving Digital Transformation
Digital health is central to Magrabi Health’s future. By embedding advanced digital technologies, from AI-powered diagnostics to integrated electronic patient journeys, the group aims to transform the way dental care is delivered. For patients, this means faster, more accurate diagnosis, seamless access to their care records, and personalized treatment pathways. For clinicians, it enhances efficiency, decision-making, and outcomes.
Dr. Barzangi highlighted this vision, stating: “Our goal is to build a resilient healthcare platform that merges clinical excellence with digital innovation. By investing in digital health, we ensure that our facilities, including UniDents, are not only expanding capacity but also redefining the patient experience with world-class innovation aligned with Vision 2030".
Investing in Saudi Talent
The acquisition also aligns with Saudi Arabia’s national priorities to localize expertise and nurture healthcare talent. UniDents’ Saudi-led team adds value to Magrabi Health’s workforce, reinforcing its commitment to knowledge transfer, capacity-building, and career development for local professionals.

It represents a consolidation of Saudi-led expertise, cutting-edge infrastructure, and Magrabi Health’s seven decades of leadership. Together, we are building a more comprehensive and sustainable healthcare ecosystem, one that localizes knowledge, nurtures Saudi talent, and creates synergies across specialties. This is not just about growth in numbers but about creating a robust, future-ready platform that elevates standards of care, scales responsibly, and aligns with the Kingdom’s ambition to provide world-class healthcare to its community.”
