Dental Implants in Dubai — Sapphire Dental Clinic, Jumeirah

What are dental implants?

A dental implant is a small titanium post — about the size of a grain of rice — that is placed into the jawbone where a tooth root used to be. Over a few months, it fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration, creating a foundation as strong as a natural tooth root. We then fit a custom porcelain crown on top, indistinguishable from your other teeth.

Unlike bridges, implants don't require grinding down neighbouring teeth. Unlike dentures, they don't move when you eat or speak. With proper care, a well-placed implant can last a lifetime.

When you might need implants

You've lost a single tooth through injury, decay or extraction
You're missing multiple teeth in a row and want to avoid a bridge
You wear dentures and want a stable, fixed alternative (All-on-4)
You have a failing tooth that can't be saved with root canal therapy
You want to preserve jawbone density that is lost when teeth are missing

The Sapphire process

Consultation & CBCT scanA complete clinical assessment with our implantologist, supported by a 3D cone-beam scan of your jaw to measure bone volume and density.
Digital surgical planningWe design your implant placement on screen using surgical-guide software, planning angle, depth and crown emergence before we touch the chair.
Guided implant placementA minimally invasive, guided procedure under local anaesthetic (sedation available). Most single implants are placed in under an hour.
Healing & osseointegrationThree to four months while your bone fuses to the implant. A temporary tooth is provided where the gap is visible.
Crown fittingA digital scan, a hand-finished porcelain crown from our master ceramist, and a final fitting that delivers your finished smile.

Frequently asked

Is implant surgery painful?

Most patients describe it as far easier than a tooth extraction. The procedure is done under local anaesthetic, with sedation available for anxious patients. Post-operative discomfort is usually managed with paracetamol for 24-48 hours.

How long does the full treatment take?

From first consultation to final crown is typically 4-6 months for a straightforward case. The actual time in the chair across all visits is usually under five hours.

What is the success rate?

With Straumann implants placed using CBCT-guided surgery, our 10-year success rate is over 97% — broadly in line with the global published evidence for specialist implantology.

Do you offer All-on-4?

Yes. Dr. Omar Khalid is an experienced All-on-4 surgeon. We can replace a full upper or lower arch on four implants, typically with a fixed temporary bridge on the same day.
