Dental implants in Riyadh
Dental implants are among the most successful and stable ways to replace missing teeth, with high success rates when the right conditions are met. The implant takes the place of the tooth root, giving you a fixed tooth to eat and smile with confidence, without affecting the neighboring teeth.

Implant stages
- Examination and planning: 3D X-rays to measure the jawbone and locate the nerves
- Implant placement: a titanium screw placed in the jawbone under local anesthesia (30-60 minutes per tooth)
- Osseointegration: a period of 3-6 months during which the implant fuses with the bone
- Final restoration: an abutment and a crown custom-made to match your teeth
Expected timeline
Usually 4 to 8 months from the examination to the final crown. Some cases need bone grafting or a sinus lift before the implant.
Benefits of implants
- A fixed tooth that looks and works like a natural one
- Does not affect neighboring teeth (unlike a bridge)
- Preserves the jawbone and prevents teeth from shifting
- May last for decades with good care
Key factors for success
- Sufficient jawbone density (or grafting if needed)
- Keeping conditions such as diabetes under control
- Quitting smoking (one of the main causes of failure)
- Care and follow-up just like a natural tooth
Frequently asked questions
Are dental implants painful?
The procedure is done under local anesthesia, and most patients describe it as easier than they expected, with mild discomfort for a few days afterward.
How long does an implant last?
An implant may last for decades with good care, while the crown may need renewing after many years.
Are implants suitable for everyone?
An assessment of bone density and general health is needed, and some cases require preparation beforehand.
Implant or bridge?
An implant does not affect the neighboring teeth and lasts longer; a bridge is quicker but relies on filing down the neighboring teeth.
