Dental Implants

Restore Your Smile with Dental Implants at Lilac Medical Centre

Losing a tooth can change how you eat, speak, and feel. Lilac Medical Centre specializes in implant dentistry, offering advanced solutions designed to replace missing teeth, protect your oral health, and restore full function, while retaining the feeling of natural teeth.

Our clinic offers several types of dental implants, including single-tooth replacement and multiple-tooth replacement solutions. Whether you have lost one or several teeth, our team will help you choose the option that offers the best results.

Dental Implant Solutions We Offer

Single Implants
Perfect for replacing one or two lost teeth, a single implant acts as an artificial tooth root, supporting a custom-made dental crown that blends naturally with your remaining teeth.

Implants for Multiple Teeth
When several teeth are missing, multiple implants can support a dental bridge, prosthetic tooth, or secure removable dentures. This method improves stability without affecting adjacent teeth, unlike traditional bridges

Titanium Post & Implant Placement

The dental implant procedure begins with precise implant placement, where a small titanium post is inserted into the jawbone under local anesthesia. This surgical procedure replaces the natural tooth root, forming a stable foundation for your replacement teeth.

Over time, the titanium integrates with your natural bone through a process of bone healing and bone growth, ensuring implant success and reducing the risk of implant failure.

If a client does not have adequate bone volume, we may recommend minor bone grafting to support the implant. In more complex cases, such as severe bone loss, specialized implants may be required. Depending on the tooth decay, we might have to treat neighboring teeth, as well.

Once healing is complete, an individual implant abutment is placed, and a custom dental crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant, restoring natural function and appearance.

FAQs

What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth, then topped with a crown, bridge, or denture. At Lilac Medical Centre in Abu Dhabi, implants are placed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon and can restore both the function and appearance of a missing tooth or several missing teeth.
Good candidates for dental implants have one or more missing teeth, healthy gums, and enough jawbone to support the implant. Suitability is confirmed during a consultation that includes an examination and imaging. Patients with certain medical conditions or insufficient bone may need additional treatment such as bone grafting before implant placement.
A dental implant procedure begins with placing the titanium post into the jawbone under local anaesthetic. The bone is then allowed to heal and fuse with the implant over several weeks, a process called osseointegration. Once healed, an abutment and a custom crown are attached to complete the tooth restoration.
Getting a dental implant should not hurt during the procedure, as it is carried out under local anaesthetic to numb the area. Mild discomfort, swelling, or soreness is common for a few days afterwards and can usually be managed with prescribed or over the counter pain relief. Most patients find recovery more comfortable than expected.
Dental implant treatment usually takes a few months from start to finish, as the implant needs time to fuse with the jawbone before the final crown is fitted. The surgical placement itself often takes under an hour per implant. Your oral and maxillofacial surgeon will give you a personalised timeline at your consultation.
Recovery after a dental implant typically involves a few days of mild swelling and tenderness, with most people returning to normal activities within a day or two. Complete healing of the bone around the implant takes several weeks to months. Following aftercare instructions from your surgeon supports smooth healing during this period.
The cost of dental implants depends on the number of implants needed, whether bone grafting is required, the type of crown or restoration, and any imaging or preparatory work. A consultation is the best way to receive an accurate estimate for your case. Dental insurance may contribute, so it is worth confirming your coverage.
Insurance may contribute towards dental implants depending on your plan and provider. Lilac Medical Centre accepts several insurers, including Daman, Thiqa, AXA, and Cigna. As coverage for implants varies and some plans treat them as elective, we recommend confirming the details with your insurer or our team before starting treatment.
Care for a dental implant much like a natural tooth by brushing twice daily, cleaning between teeth, and attending regular check ups. Good oral hygiene helps keep the surrounding gum and bone healthy. Your dentist at Lilac Medical Centre will advise on any specific cleaning tools and review the implant at routine appointments.
Dental implants can last many years and often a lifetime when they are well cared for and the surrounding tissues stay healthy. The crown attached to the implant may need replacing over time due to normal wear. Implants have a high success rate in suitable patients who maintain good oral hygiene and regular dental visits.
Risks of dental implants can include infection, swelling, bleeding, temporary numbness, or, rarely, implant failure where the bone does not fuse properly. These complications are uncommon when placement is planned carefully. Your oral and maxillofacial surgeon will assess your health and explain the specific risks that apply to your treatment.
Alternatives to dental implants include fixed dental bridges and removable dentures, both of which replace missing teeth without surgery. The right option depends on the number of teeth missing, the health of neighbouring teeth, and your jawbone. A consultation at Lilac Medical Centre can help you compare these choices for your situation.
Dental implants are a well established and safe treatment for replacing missing teeth when carried out by a qualified surgeon after proper assessment. Titanium implants are biocompatible and widely used in dentistry. At Lilac Medical Centre, implants are placed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon following imaging and a thorough review of your medical history.
After getting a dental implant, eat soft foods such as soup, yoghurt, eggs, and mashed vegetables for the first few days while the area heals. Avoid hard, crunchy, or very hot foods and chew on the opposite side where possible. Your surgeon will advise when you can gradually return to your normal diet.
