Types of dental implants
1. Single tooth implant
A single titanium implant + an abutment + a porcelain crown to replace a missing tooth.
2. Multi-tooth implant
2–3 implants supporting a bridge to replace multiple adjacent missing teeth — more economical than implanting each tooth separately.
3. All-on-4 / All-on-6 (full arch)
4–6 implants supporting an entire arch of teeth (usually 12 teeth). Lifestyle-changing solution for completely toothless patients.
4. Mini implants
Smaller implants for stabilizing existing dentures. Less expensive but with limited applications.
5. Zygomatic implants
Long implants anchored in the cheekbone for cases of extreme upper-jaw bone loss. Specialized cases.

Implant brands — the real difference
The price difference between implants isn't just a brand name — clinical research, long-term studies, and replacement-part availability are different:
| Brand | Origin | Price | Long-term success |
|---|---|---|---|
| Straumann (premium) | Switzerland | Highest | 98% over 15 years |
| Nobel Biocare | Sweden | High | 97% over 15 years |
| Astra (Dentsply) | Sweden | High | 96% over 10 years |
| MIS / Alpha Bio | Israel | Medium | 94% over 10 years |
| Korean (DIO / Osstem) | South Korea | Lower | 90–94% over 5–10 years |
| Chinese / unbranded | China | Lowest | Variable, no studies |
AQUA Dent uses Straumann and Nobel Biocare by default. The reason: globally serviceable parts, 5+ year warranty, decades of long-term research support, and consistent results.
7 factors that determine the price
- Implant brand (60% of the price difference).
- Doctor's specialty — AAID consultant vs. general dentist.
- Complexity of the case — does it need bone graft or sinus lift?
- Imaging technology — CBCT + iTero scan + 3D-printed guide.
- Crown type — Zirconia vs. PFM vs. E.max.
- Bone-graft material — Bio-Oss (German) vs. cheaper materials.
- Warranty — 5 years vs. 1 year.
Step-by-step process
- First consultation (60 min): Comprehensive exam, panoramic X-ray, CBCT, iTero scan, discussion of the plan.
- Treatment planning: The consultant reviews CBCT to evaluate bone, designs the implant location and angle digitally.
- Bone graft if needed: Adding bone material to the surgery site if existing bone is insufficient. 4–6 months for healing before the implant.
- Implant placement: Surgery 60–90 minutes under local anesthesia (sedation if you wish). The implant is placed in the bone.
- Osseointegration period (3–6 months): The bone integrates with the implant. A temporary tooth may be placed during this period.
- Abutment placement: A small piece that connects the implant to the crown. 30 minutes.
- Final crown manufacturing: Digital scan + lab manufacturing 2–3 weeks.
- Final crown cementation: Final placement of the crown.
- Lifelong follow-up: Cleaning every 6 months + radiographic check yearly.
Implant timeline (3–9 months)
- Simple case (sufficient bone, anterior tooth): 3–4 months.
- Moderate case (posterior tooth, healthy bone): 4–6 months.
- Complex case (needs bone graft or sinus lift): 6–9 months.
- Immediate implant (extraction + implant in the same session): 3–4 months total.
- All-on-4 with immediate teeth: Functional same-day teeth + final teeth after 4 months.
Lifelong implant care
- Daily cleaning: Brush 2x + floss + interdental brush around the implant.
- Cleaning every 6 months at the clinic, plus radiographic check every 12 months.
- Avoid smoking — increases the risk of implant failure 3x.
- Diabetes control if applicable (HbA1c < 7).
- Avoid biting very hard things on the implant.
- Night guard if you grind your teeth.
Red flags to avoid
- The clinic doesn't disclose the implant brand it uses.
- Drastically low prices (1,500–2,000 SAR) — usually unbranded Chinese implants.
- No CBCT before surgery.
- No 3D-printed surgical guide for All-on-X cases.
- Refusal to give a written warranty.
- The doctor is not specialized in implants (AAID/ICOI/AAOMS).
- Suggests immediate implant in cases that need bone graft first.
- No follow-up plan after surgery.
FAQ
Q: Are dental implants painful?
A: No, the surgery is under full local anesthesia (or with sedation if you wish). Discomfort after surgery (3–5 days) is controlled by simple painkillers. Most patients return to work the next day.
Q: How long does the implant last?
A: With proper care, a quality implant lasts a lifetime. The crown on top usually needs replacement every 10–15 years.
Q: Does insurance cover implants?
A: Most Saudi insurance plans cover 50–70% of the implant with a medical report. AQUA prepares the paperwork to file a reimbursement claim.
Q: Is the implant safe for older adults?
A: Yes. The age itself isn't the issue — the issue is overall health and bone quality. Healthy 80-year-olds can get implants.
Q: What if the implant fails?
A: 95–98% of premium implants succeed. In the rare case of failure (2–5%), AQUA provides a free replacement under the 5-year warranty, including bone graft if needed.
Q: Can I travel after the surgery?
A: Yes after 48 hours. International patients usually need a first visit (5–7 days) + return after 4 months for the final crown.
Q: What about All-on-X — when is it the right answer?
A: When you've lost most or all your teeth in one arch. The full-arch implant gives more stability than dentures, with permanent teeth that don't move. When is All-on-X the right choice?
The first implant consultation at AQUA Dent includes: comprehensive exam + CBCT + a written treatment plan + a digital simulation. No commitment to start.
