What the dentist may suggest
Dental ImplantsA dental implant is a small titanium or zirconia post placed in the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root, topped with a crown that looks and works like a natural tooth. Typically AED 3,500–AED 9,500 per implant, including the crown.
Dental CrownsA dental crown is a custom cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength and appearance. Typically AED 1,200–AED 4,500 per crown.Where in Dubai?

FAQ
Common questions
Implant or bridge?
An implant does not involve the neighbouring teeth but takes months and costs more. A bridge is quicker but needs the teeth either side to be reshaped. A dentist will advise after a scan.
