Please give me a summary of the steps in the process of getting an implant at your clinic.

The first step is getting an implant consultation with our highly specialized and qualified dentists. You will have an x-ray or a CBCT taken to assess the bone levels and condition of your existing teeth (if any). If you require any teeth to be taken out, we will advise having them removed at least two months prior to the time of implant placement to allow time for infection to clear and healing to occur.

During implant placement, we create space in your jaws to place the titanium implant which will serve as the anchor for your new tooth. The stability of this implant is checked and depending on the condition of your bone, your new tooth may be placed in the same visit or in a subsequent visit to allow for complete bone healing.

Quick description of the surgical procedure at your clinic.

An Implant procedure is normally done under local anesthesia, in about 20 minutes.
It is a simple procedure

How much do your procedures cost?

Breakdown:
Cost of surgical procedure: AED 4,000 (approximately $1,000)
Cost of restoration (crown over implant): AED 2,000 (approximately $650)

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept many dental insurances and offer payment plans.

How many appointments are required to get one or two implants?

Depending on the condition of your bone, your implant can be done in one sitting.

How long is the healing time?

Implants can take from 3 to 6 months to heal. We recommend having follow-up appointments to assess the healing.

Do you provide any guarantees?

Yes. Our dental implant specialists are always available to contact if you have any concerns regarding your implant. We recommend making an appointment with our implant specialists to assess the condition of the implant and address your concerns.
