Avance Dental Clinic, Dubai
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once it has bonded with the bone, it holds a crown, a bridge or a denture that looks and works like natural teeth. At Avance Dental, implant treatment is planned and restored by our specialist prosthodontist, Dr. Uthappa Aiyappa, at our clinics in Deira, Motor City and Ibn Battuta.

Is it right for me?
Implants can be a good option if you have lost one tooth, several teeth or all of your teeth in a jaw, and you want a fixed result that does not rely on the neighbouring teeth. You will usually need:
Smoking, uncontrolled diabetes and some medicines can slow healing. Tell us about your health and medicines at the consultation so the plan is safe for you.
Your options

One implant with one crown, without filing down the teeth on either side.
Two or more implants support a bridge that replaces several teeth in a row.
Implants hold a full denture in place, so it does not move when you eat or speak.
Step by step
We examine your mouth, take X-rays or a 3D scan, check the bone and explain your options.
You receive a written plan with the number of implants, the type of restoration, the timeline and the cost.
The implant is placed under local anaesthetic. Most patients describe the discomfort afterwards as similar to an extraction.
The implant bonds with the bone over roughly two to six months. A temporary tooth can often be fitted in the meantime.
We take an impression or digital scan and fit a custom crown, bridge or denture matched to your other teeth.
Brush twice a day, clean between the teeth with floss or interdental brushes, and keep your regular check-ups and cleanings. Implants cannot decay, but the gum and bone around them can become inflamed if plaque builds up. With good care, implants can last for many years.
The cost depends on how many implants you need, whether you need a bone graft and which crown or bridge is used. We give you a written quote after your consultation and scan, before any treatment starts.

FAQ
The area is numbed with local anaesthetic, so you should feel pressure rather than pain. Some soreness and swelling for a few days afterwards is normal and is usually managed with ordinary painkillers.
Most single implants take three to six months from placement to the final crown. Bone grafting or several implants can make it longer. Your plan will give you a timeline.
Often, yes. The bone can shrink after a tooth is lost, so we check the bone on a scan. If there is not enough, a bone graft may be needed first.
A fixed bridge on the neighbouring teeth or a removable denture. We will explain the pros and cons of each option for your situation.
