Dental implants in Abu Dhabi
A dental implant replaces a missing tooth root with a small titanium post that sits in the jawbone, topped with a crown that looks and works like a natural tooth. At Aesthetic Dental Center on Electra Street, implant treatment is led by the founder, Dr. Praveen, who has practised in Abu Dhabi since 1995.

Are dental implants right for you?
Every implant is planned from an OPG scan before anything is touched, placed under 3.5x magnifying loupes, and finished with a zirconium crown made with senior lab technicians rather than rushed in house.
- You have lost one or more teeth and want a fixed replacement rather than a removable denture
- A bridge would mean cutting down healthy neighbouring teeth
- A loose denture makes eating or speaking uncomfortable
- A tooth cannot be saved and has to be removed
Step by step
How dental implants work at the clinic
- 01
Consultation and OPG scan
The area is examined under magnification and an OPG scan shows the bone available, the position of nerves and sinuses, and whether the site is ready for an implant.
- 02
Treatment plan
You are told what the scan shows, what the options are, and how many visits to expect, before anything is agreed.
- 03
Implant placement
The post is placed under local anaesthetic. Most patients describe it as easier than they expected, which is one of the things reviews of the clinic mention most.
- 04
Healing
The bone bonds to the implant over the following weeks to months. A temporary tooth can often be fitted in the meantime where appearance matters.
- 05
Final zirconium crown
Once the implant is stable, the crown is made to match your other teeth and fitted on top.
- Visits
- Usually several appointments spread over a few months, mostly because the bone needs time to heal around the implant. Your plan sets out the exact sequence.
- Recovery
- Some tenderness and swelling for a few days after placement is normal and is usually managed with ordinary pain relief. Soft food is advised at first.
- Worth knowing
- Smoking, uncontrolled diabetes and gum disease can affect healing, and some sites need bone grafting first. These are checked at the consultation so the plan reflects your situation.
- Fees
- Fees depend on what the examination finds. You receive the cost as part of your treatment plan after the consultation, before anything is agreed.

Placement is done under local anaesthetic, so you should feel pressure rather than pain. Mild soreness for a few days afterwards is normal and settles with ordinary pain relief.
How long does dental implant treatment take in Abu Dhabi?
