Don’t ignore dental pain. Early treatment prevents serious complications and protects your oral health.

What is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a small titanium post placed into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once healed, it supports a custom-made crown that looks, feels and functions like a natural tooth.

Dental implants can replace a single tooth, several missing teeth or support a full-arch restoration. They help improve chewing, restore confidence and preserve the jawbone without relying on neighbouring teeth for support.

At Jesh & Mikh Dental Clinic in Al Karama, Dubai, our implantologist carefully plans each treatment using detailed examination and advanced imaging. Book a dental implant consultation to discover the most suitable solution for restoring your smile.

What is it image

Types of Dental Implants: What's Right for You?

Types

  • Single Tooth Implant
  • Multiple Tooth Implants
  • Implant-Supported Bridge
  • All-on-4 / Full Arch
  • Immediate Load Implants

Best For

  • One missing tooth
  • Several missing teeth in different positions
  • 3 or more adjacent missing teeth
  • All teeth are missing on one jaw
  • Suitable patients needing teeth the same day

Results

  • Natural-looking crown on a titanium root
  • Individual implants with separate crowns
  • 2 implants support a full bridge
  • 4 implants support a full fixed arch
  • A temporary crown was placed at surgery

Timeline

  • 3 to 6 months
  • 3 to 6 months
  • 3 to 6 months
  • 1 to 2 days (teeth) + 6 months healing
  • Same day

Step by step procedure

01

Step 1: Comprehensive Consultation and Imaging

Your implant specialist takes a full 3D CBCT scan to assess bone density, volume, and anatomy. This determines implant size, placement angle, and whether bone grafting is needed before surgery.

02

Step 2: Treatment Planning

A detailed implant plan is created digitally, showing the exact position of each implant. You receive a full timeline and cost breakdown before any commitment.

03

Step 3: Bone Grafting (if required)

If your jawbone is insufficient to support an implant, a bone graft is placed first. This typically requires 3 to 6 months of healing before implant placement can proceed.

04

Step 4: Implant Placement Surgery

Under local anesthesia (sedation is also available), the titanium implant is carefully placed into the jawbone. The procedure usually takes 30 to 60 minutes per implant and is performed under sterile surgical conditions.

05

Step 5: Healing and Osseointegration

The implant is left to integrate with the jawbone over 3 to 6 months. A temporary crown or healing cap is placed during this phase. Most patients resume normal daily activities within 2 to 3 days.

06

Step 6: Abutment Placement

Once the implant has fully integrated, a small connector called an abutment is attached to the implant post. This provides the structural base for the final crown.

07

Step 7: Custom Crown Fitting

Impressions or digital scans are taken to fabricate your custom ceramic crown. The crown is color-matched to your adjacent teeth for a completely natural finish. Fitting takes one short appointment.

Before, during after

Before

  • Disclose all medications, including blood thinners, bisphosphonates, and diabetes medication
  • Avoid smoking for at least 2 weeks before surgery : it significantly reduces healing success rates
  • Get a professional clean before the procedure
  • Arrange for someone to drive you home if sedation is planned

During

  • Local anesthesia ensures you feel no pain during the procedure
  • You may feel pressure and vibration , but not sharp pain
  • Conscious sedation is available for anxious patients : discuss at consultation
  • Surgery typically takes 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the number of implants

After

  • Mild swelling and bruising are normal for 3 to 5 days : use ice packs for the first 24 hours
  • Eat soft foods for 2 weeks and avoid the surgical site when chewing
  • No smoking for at least 2 weeks post-surgery
  • Take prescribed antibiotics and pain relief as directed
  • Contact us immediately if you experience excessive bleeding, severe pain, or implant mobility

Who Is It For?

Good Candidates

  • Adults with one or more missing teeth who want a permanent, fixed solution
  • Patients with adequate jawbone density (confirmed by CBCT scan)
  • Non-smokers or those willing to quit for the healing period
  • Patients with controlled systemic conditions (diabetes, hypertension)
  • Patients committed to long-term oral hygiene and annual reviews
Contraindications Image

Not Recommended For

  • Active smokers (significantly increased risk of implant failure
  • Uncontrolled diabetes or autoimmune conditions
  • Patients with insufficient bone volume who are unwilling to consider grafting
  • Growing adolescents (bone must be fully developed)
  • Patients currently undergoing chemotherapy or radiation to the jaw

Aftercare image

Aftercare: Keeping Your Implants Long-Lasting

  • Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush, paying careful attention around the implant crown
  • Floss daily using implant-specific floss or an interdental brush
  • Use a water flosser to clean around the implant-gum junction
  • Schedule professional cleanings every 6 months : implants can still be affected by peri-implantitis
  • Avoid biting on hard objects (ice, nutshells, pen caps) with implant crowns
  • If you grind your teeth, wear a custom night guard to protect the crown
  • Do not smoke : it accelerates bone loss around implants and is the leading cause of implant failure

Frequently Asked Question

How much do dental implants cost in Dubai? −
A single dental implant starts from AED 3,500, including the implant and custom crown. An implant-supported bridge starts from AED 7,500. An All-on-4 full arch starts from AED 18,000. Final pricing depends on your bone condition, the number of implants, and whether grafting is needed.
Are dental implants painful? +
The surgery is performed under local anesthesia, so you will feel pressure but not pain during the procedure. Post-operative discomfort is manageable with the prescribed pain relief and typically resolves within 3 to 5 days.
How long do dental implants last? +
With proper care, dental implants can last 20 years or more. The titanium root is designed to be permanent. The ceramic crown may need replacing after 10 to 15 years, depending on wear.
How long does the full implant process take? +
Most single-implant cases take 3 to 6 months from placement to final crown. Patients requiring bone grafting first should allow an additional 3 to 6 months. All-on-4 cases can be completed in 1 to 2 visits for provisional teeth, with final teeth after 6 months of healing.
Can I get dental implants if I have bone loss? +
In many cases, yes. Bone grafting can rebuild the jawbone before implant placement. The extent of grafting needed is assessed via a 3D CBCT scan at your consultation.
What is the success rate of dental implants? +
Dental implants have a success rate above 95% in suitable patients. Smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, and poor oral hygiene are the primary risk factors for failure. Your dentist will assess your suitability thoroughly before proceeding.
Do dental implants look natural? +
Yes. The custom ceramic crown is color-matched to your existing teeth and shaped to match your natural tooth form. Most people cannot distinguish an implant crown from a natural tooth.
Can I eat normally with dental implants? +
Yes. Once fully healed, dental implants restore full chewing function. You can eat virtually all foods, including hard and crunchy foods that would be problematic with dentures or bridges.
Are dental implants covered by insurance in Dubai? +
Some insurance plans in Dubai cover part of implant treatment under restorative benefits, particularly if the tooth was lost due to an accident or medical reason. We help you check your coverage during the consultation.
What happens if a dental implant fails? +
Implant failure is rare but can occur, particularly in smokers or patients with uncontrolled health conditions. If an implant does not integrate, it is removed, the site is allowed to heal, and the procedure can often be attempted again after the bone recovers.
