Single Tooth Implant
Replace one missing tooth with a titanium implant and a custom-made crown. The adjacent teeth stay untouched — a permanent solution that outperforms a traditional bridge.
We place every implant from a 3D digital plan before the first incision — no guesswork, no surprises. Our prosthodontics lead (Dr. Mohanad Atwa, FRCD(C), University of Florida) works hand-in-hand with our periodontics lead (Dr. Mohamed Assaggaf, KAU) on every case.
A dental implant replaces a missing tooth root with a titanium fixture anchored in the jawbone, then restored with a crown, bridge, or fixed denture. At AQUA Dent Clinics in Jeddah, every implant is planned digitally with 3D CBCT imaging and 3D-printed surgical guides, performed by board-certified specialists.

Every implant at AQUA starts with a CBCT scan (3D imaging) and a digital surgical plan — before we lift a single instrument.
Replace one missing tooth with a titanium implant and a custom-made crown. The adjacent teeth stay untouched — a permanent solution that outperforms a traditional bridge.
Replace 3–4 adjacent teeth with just two implants supporting the bridge — lower cost and fewer surgeries than placing one implant per tooth.
A fixed full arch supported by just 4 or 6 implants — a permanent solution for patients who have lost most of their teeth or struggle with uncomfortable removable dentures. In most cases, you walk out with fixed teeth the same day.
Place the implant immediately after the tooth is extracted — fewer surgeries, and the surrounding bone and gum are preserved. Suitable for select cases identified during the assessment.
Prepare the implant site when there isn't enough bone — from small, localised grafts to larger reconstructions. We use biocompatible materials with proven long-term outcomes.
A precise procedure to add bone beneath the sinus floor — making it possible to place implants in the upper back jaw where bone is typically too thin.
For patients tired of removable dentures — convert to an Overdenture (supported by two implants) or to a fully fixed arch.
Six-month check-ups, professional cleanings tailored for implants, and routine imaging — keeping your implants stable for decades.
Implants aren't for everyone — but with the right assessment, they're possible for most patients. The diagnosis tells us whether you're a candidate today or need a preparation phase first.
Five stages — three to nine months, depending on the case.
3D imaging maps your bone volume, nerve pathways, and sinus position — the foundation of a precise plan.
Gum treatment or bone grafting if needed — typically 2 to 6 months before placement.
Placement with a 3D-printed surgical guide — micron-level accuracy, around 45 minutes, under local anaesthesia.
Three to six months as the implant fuses with the bone — with a temporary crown if the site is visible.
Digital impression → CAD/CAM crown fabrication → fitted in a single visit.
An implant is the closest thing to a natural tooth — but it isn't the right answer for every case. Here's how it compares to the alternatives.
Dr. Mohanad Atwa — our consultant prosthodontist and implant lead — recommends the right solution based on your exam and CBCT scan, and walks you through every option before you decide.
Most anxiety around implants comes from the unknown. Here's the realistic timeline for most patients.
Cold compresses, a mild pain reliever, a soft diet. Most patients are back to work the next day.
Sutures removed if needed. A gradual return to normal eating — just avoid hard foods on the implant side.
The gum fully seals around the implant. A short follow-up visit confirms the site is healing well.
The implant gradually fuses with the bone (osseointegration). A temporary crown is placed if the implant sits in a visible area.
Digital impression → CAD/CAM crown → final fitting in a single visit. You can use it right away.
We don't bill insurance directly. You pay for treatment at the visit, and we prepare all the itemised invoices and medical reports you need to submit a reimbursement claim to your insurance provider yourself. Most Saudi insurance policies reimburse a meaningful portion of implant treatment — particularly components like the exam, imaging, extractions, and grafting — depending on your plan.
Flexible 3, 6, or 12-month instalment plans through Tabby and Tamara — instant approval, zero interest. Pay your treatment off month by month instead of the full amount upfront.
Before anything starts, you receive a written treatment plan with full pricing for every stage. No surprises along the way. Take it home and review it before you decide.
In 95% of cases the answer is titanium. But each material has specific indications. Here's the objective comparison:
Implant placement is surgery. Any dentist who tells you it's risk-free is lying. Here's what can go wrong, and how we minimize the probability:
The implant fails to fuse with bone. Causes: smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, soft bone. Prevention: pre-op HbA1c check, smoking cessation 2 weeks before/after, CBCT bone-density assessment.
Permanent numbness in the lower lip or chin. Prevention: pre-op CBCT for every lower-jaw implant, digital planning that maintains a 2 mm safety margin from the nerve, and a 3D-printed surgical guide that locks placement depth.
Inflammation around the implant can lead to loss. Prevention: professional cleanings every 4–6 months, strict home hygiene (interdental brush, Waterpik), and bi-annual check with Dr. Assaggaf to catch any early sign.
Happens in patients who grind (bruxism). Prevention: pre-cementation occlusion check, custom-fitted night guard, and crown-height adjustment to distribute force.

Pricing depends on the number of implants, implant type, crown type, and whether grafting is needed. The first consultation includes a written plan with full pricing before we begin — and we offer comfortable installment plans.
The surgery itself is painless thanks to local anesthesia. Afterward there may be mild swelling and possible discomfort for a day or two, managed with light pain relievers. Most patients return to work the next day.
A well-maintained implant lasts 20–30 years or more. The crown on top may need replacement after 10–15 years depending on use. Long-term success rates for modern implants exceed 95%.
Yes — this is what we call All-on-4 or All-on-6 depending on the number of implants. You get a fixed, non-removable jaw that functions like natural teeth. The first consultation determines whether you're a candidate.
Bone grafting adds bone at the site before implant placement. The All-on-4 technique also allows implant placement with less bone via specially angled implants. A CBCT scan determines the right option.

Every implant case starts with a Planmeca Viso G7 3D scan at 75 μm resolution — revealing bone height and nerve pathway before any procedure. For anterior implants, the 3D face scanner is added to align the implant with the facial midline rather than just the adjacent tooth. Surgical guides 3D-printed on the Planmeca Creo place the implant precisely without open-flap surgery.
