What Are Dental Implants? Who needs them?

Plaza clinics in Dubai follow the best practices from around the world when it comes to dental implants. The dental implant is a titanium rod that is placed in the jawbone and replaces a tooth root

Ideal Candidates

  • Adults who have lost one or more permanent teeth due to disease, injury or decay
  • Smokers who are willing to give up smoking or non-smokers with a stable health condition
  • Patients who have sufficient bone volume or are open to bone grafting
  • Dentures or dental bridges are no longer an option for those who want a long-term solution.
  • Adults with complete jaw growth (generally, 16+ years for females and 18+ years for males).

Our dentists at Plaza Clinics assess bone density, dental hygiene, and general health because all these factors matter when determining suitability. And as every patient is unique, we take a thorough approach but always keep your comfort and safety in mind.

Why Dental Implants are offered at the Plaza Clinics in Dubai

High Success Rates and Longevity

  • In many cases, implants are still functional 40 years after their installation.
  • Over 10 years, the overall success rate has averaged between 90% and 97%.

Natural Look and Function

  • Dental implants in Dubai are designed to function and feel like natural teeth. They improve speech and chewing while preserving facial bone structure.

Prevent Bone Loss & Preserve Adjacent Teeth

  • At Plaza Clinics, we use advanced imaging and planning techniques because they help ensure the long-term stability of implants. And as technology evolves, we continue to improve our methods, but we never compromise on safety or precision.

Dental Implants Dubai Process At Plaza Clinics

The Step-by-Step Journey

  1. Consultation & Planning

    • Includes X-rays and CT scans. Medical history review included.
    • Plaza Clinics offers a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs.
  2. Placement of Implants (Minor Surgery)

    • Use of local anesthesia or sedation.
    • The titanium implant is placed in the jawbone. Bone grafts or sinus lifts may be required.
  3. Healing & Osseointegration

    • It takes 3-6 months for the bone to fuse (osseointegration) around the implant.
  4. Abutment and Crown Attachment

    • After healing, a custom crown and abutment are attached.
  5. Follow-up & Maintenance

    • Implant health is maintained by regular cleanings, check-ups, and oral hygiene.

Plaza Clinics will guide you through this journey.

Dental implants are beneficial for patients

  • Better Comfort & Chewing: No slipping of dentures. Eat hard foods with confidence.
  • Crowns match existing teeth and are tooth-shaped.
  • Plaza Clinics offers implants that can last for decades, even though they are initially more expensive.
  • Bone preservation stimulates the jawbone to prevent shrinkage of facial structure.

According to UAE market research in 2023, dental implants will account for more than 37 % of the total dental tourism services, indicating a strong demand for quality care

Who should not get dental implants Dubai?

  • Before the jaws have fully developed, a female or male must be under 16 years old.
  • Heavy smokers who refuse to quit
  • Uncontrolled diabetes, osteoporosis
  • People with active jaw disease or gum disease
  • People who are unable to follow up on post-surgery care and hygiene

Plaza Clinics assesses each case carefully, because safety and success are top priorities. And as every patient is different, we take the time to evaluate thoroughly but never rush the process to ensure the best possible outcome.

Example Patient Story

Sarah, 45, a resident of Dubai, lost her molar to decay and decided to visit Plaza Clinics for treatment. She received a titanium implant and crown, and as her healing progressed, she regained the ability to chew normally. Because of the successful outcome, she felt confident smiling again, but she also mentioned that proper aftercare played a big role in her recovery.

Bone Health & Healing

It is important to maintain bone health. Dental implants in Dubai are most suitable for people with acceptable bone density. Bone grafts and sinus lifts can help to prepare the jaw when bone density is low. Plaza Clinics uses 3D scanning and guided surgery because precise placement is key to long-term success. And as the implant integrates with your bone, stability improves over time. After the first year, bone loss is minimal, only 0.1 mm, but regular checkups are still important to maintain these results.

Tips for Recovery and Aftercare

These steps will help you recover quickly after getting dental implants in Dubai, because they support healing and reduce complications. And as you follow them closely, you’ll notice faster improvement, but skipping them may slow down your recovery.

  • Avoid hard-chewing foods for the first seven days after surgery.
  • Use antiseptic mouthwash three times a day
  • Brush and floss every day to prevent plaque and soft tissue inflammation
  • Smoking can increase the risk of complications with implants.
  • Follow-ups should be scheduled every week for the first three months and then six months apart.

Plaza Clinics offers you a personalized aftercare program and regular checkups, because ongoing care is just as important as the treatment itself. As your recovery progresses, we stay with you every step of the way and help ensure long-term success.
