Information only, not medical advice. Prices vary between clinics and between patients. Confirm any treatment, and its price, with a licensed dentist before you decide. Read the medical disclaimer.
Read a dental quote in three passes: what the headline price includes, what is listed separately, and what is not listed at all. For an implant, the headline price usually covers the implant, the abutment and the crown, while a sinus lift is extra at AED 3,000 to 8,000.
Pass one: what does the headline price include?
An implant price that covers the post, the abutment and the crown is a complete price for that tooth. A price for the post alone is not. Ask it in those words: which of the three parts does this figure cover?
The same test works elsewhere. For veneers, is the figure per tooth or for the whole plan? For a crown, does it include the temporary crown you wear while the lab makes the permanent one?
Pass two: what is listed separately?
Separate lines are not a trick. They are how a clinic prices work it cannot be sure you will need, and for implants the big ones are bone work and the scan before treatment.

Show the numbers
| Item | Amount | Typical |
|---|---|---|
| Single implant, Dubai | AED 5,000 to 15,000 | 8,000 |
| Sinus lift, added on top | AED 3,000 to 8,000 | - |
| Bone graft, if needed | AED 1,500 to 5,000 | 3,000 |
| Consultation and 3D scan | AED 300 to 800 | 500 |
At the bottom of both ranges, a sinus lift adds about 60 per cent to the implant price. If your quote mentions grafting or a lift as a possibility, ask for the price now, while you are still comparing.
Pass three: what is missing?
- Diagnostics. Consultation, x-rays or a scan may be billed before treatment starts.
- Follow-up visits. Ask how many are included and what happens after that.
- Repairs and replacements. Ask what a replacement crown or veneer would cost.
- Payment terms. Ask what is due at each stage, not just the total.
Where insurance fits
On Dubai's minimum plan the dental benefit has a limit of AED 500 and does not list implants, crowns or veneers, so for that kind of work the quote in front of you is close to what you will pay. If your policy does cover part of it, ask the insurer whether pre-authorisation is needed before treatment starts.
A short script for the phone call
- Does this price include every stage, or only the first?
- What would it cost if my scan shows I need bone work?
- Is the consultation and scan included?
- How many follow-up visits are included?
- Will you bill my insurer directly, and do you need pre-authorisation?
- Can I have all of that in writing?
Every range is in the estimator, and questions to ask before treatment covers licences and advertising claims.
