Dental Implants

Dental Implants in Dubai

“A missing tooth doesn’t just affect your smile — it affects how you bite, speak, and how your jawbone holds its shape over time. Implants are the only replacement option that addresses all three.”
Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, dental implants are the closest thing to replacing a natural tooth — root and all. At Floss & Gloss, we plan every implant case around your jawbone, bite, and long-term oral health, not just the visible crown on top.

What Is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a small titanium or zirconia post surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as
an artificial tooth root. Once it has fused with the bone (a process called osseointegration), a

custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached on top — giving you a replacement tooth that
looks, feels, and functions like your own.
Unlike bridges or dentures, implants don’t rely on neighboring teeth for support, and they’re the
only tooth-replacement option that also preserves the jawbone, which naturally shrinks after
tooth loss if left untreated.

Why Choose Floss & Gloss for Dental Implants?

  • Bone-first treatment planning. Before recommending an implant, we assess your jawbone
    density and volume using diagnostic imaging. If additional support is needed (such as bone
    grafting), we’ll explain this upfront — not mid-treatment.
  • Restorative dentistry under one roof. Because implants involve both a surgical phase and a
    restorative phase (the crown, bridge, or denture on top), having both handled by the same
    clinical team means better coordination and a smoother, more predictable result.
  • Built for your bite, not just your smile. We plan implant position and the final restoration
    around your natural bite alignment, so the result feels functional, not just cosmetic.
  • Transparent staging. Implant treatment happens in phases over several months. We’ll map out
    your full timeline and what to expect at each stage during your consultation — no surprises.

Types of Implant Treatment We Offer

Single Tooth Implants
Replaces one missing tooth with an individual implant and crown, without affecting neighboring
healthy teeth — unlike a traditional bridge, which requires filing down adjacent teeth for support.
Multiple Tooth / Implant-Supported Bridges
For several missing teeth in a row, two or more implants can support a fixed bridge, avoiding the
need for an implant at every single missing tooth position.
Implant-Supported Dentures
For patients missing most or all of their teeth in an arch, a small number of strategically placed
implants can anchor a full denture — dramatically improving stability compared to a traditional
removable denture. This is often what patients mean when searching for “dentures and
implants”: a combined solution where implants provide the anchoring, and a denture provides
the visible replacement teeth.
Full Mouth Implants
A complete implant-based restoration for patients missing all (or nearly all) of their teeth in one
or both arches — designed to restore full function and a natural appearance.

What to Expect: The Implant Journey at Floss & Gloss

1.Free Consultation & Assessment — We review your dental and medical history,
examine your jawbone and gums, and discuss which implant option fits your case.
2.Diagnostic Imaging — Scans help us assess bone density and plan the precise
position of your implant(s).
3.Implant Placement — The implant post is surgically placed under local anesthesia. A
healing period (typically a few months) follows, allowing osseointegration with the
jawbone.
4.Healing & Temporary Solution — Depending on your case, a temporary restoration
may be provided while your implant integrates.
5.Final Restoration — Once healed, your custom crown, bridge, or denture is fitted and
adjusted for a natural bite and appearance.
6.Long-Term Maintenance — Implants require the same daily hygiene as natural teeth,
plus regular check-ups to monitor the surrounding gum and bone.

What to Expect: The Implant Journey at Floss & Gloss

Most adults with good general health and adequate jawbone density are candidates for
implants. Factors we assess during consultation include:

  • Jawbone density — insufficient bone may require grafting before or during implant
    placement
  • Gum health — active gum disease needs to be treated first
  • Certain medical conditions (e.g. uncontrolled diabetes) and smoking, which can affect
    healing and success rates
  • Overall treatment goals — whether a single implant, bridge, or full-arch solution best

fits your situation
We’ll give you an honest assessment of your candidacy — including whether a graft or
additional preparatory treatment is needed — during your consultation, not after treatment has
begun.

Frequently Asked Questions

With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, the implant post itself can last for decades. The crown on top may need replacement over time due to normal wear, similar to a natural tooth.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and most patients report the recovery is more comfortable than they expected — typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relief. We'll walk you through what to expect for your specific case.
Timelines vary by case, but generally range from a few months to over a year when bone grafting or multiple phases are needed. We'll give you a personalized timeline at your consultation.
Not always — it depends on how much bone density remains at the implant site, which we assess using diagnostic imaging during your consultation.
Cost depends on the number of implants, whether bone grafting is required, and the type of final restoration (crown, bridge, or denture). You'll receive a transparent, itemized quote after your consultation.
A traditional denture rests on the gums and can shift while eating or speaking. An implant- supported denture is anchored to a small number of implants in the jawbone, offering significantly more stability and a more natural bite.
