Summary
Clinique Dentaire Dr. Karim Oued is a private dental practice established in 2000 on Avenue Léopold Senghor in central Sousse. The clinic specialises in implantology, aesthetic dentistry, and Lumineers ceramic veneers, and is equipped with panoramic radiography and 3D/CT scanning. International dental-tourism aggregators place it among the most-reviewed practices in Sousse for foreign patients, with staff communicating in Arabic, English, and French.
The clinic appears under at least three separate WhatClinic listings with slightly differing slugs and addresses (street floor varies: one listing says 3ème étage, the main listing says imm selténe azure). Phone +216 53 227 110 is consistently cited across WhatClinic and search snippets as the WhatsApp contact. No dedicated website domain was found. The Dental Departures listing quotes prices in SGD (converted from TND), making direct price comparisons unreliable; those figures were not used. The WhatClinic secondary listing names Walid Naija as owner/contact rather than Dr. Karim Oued — this discrepancy is noted. Emergency services listed as available on WhatClinic; not independently corroborated. Dr. Bashir is named as additional staff in a review but no credentials are available.
Strengths
- Medical Infrastructure: 12 of 15 points.
Weaknesses
- AI & Search Visibility: 4 of 10 verifiable points (missing: mentioned for: emergency dentist tunisia; structured data on website; google indexing quality; dedicated service pages)
