Bone graft and sinus lift cost in Dubai — what you pay for and why
A clear, itemised quote from an oral surgeon and an implantologist, so you know exactly what your graft and implant will cost before you commit.

The cost of a bone graft or sinus lift in Dubai depends on the procedure (socket preservation, ridge augmentation, crestal or lateral sinus lift), how much bone is needed, graft and membrane materials, CBCT imaging and whether the implant is placed at the same visit. At Manhal Medical Center in Al Safa 1, Dubai, Dr. Moataz Al-Khan and Dr. Manhal Helfawee give a written, itemised quote after examination and a 3D scan.

Why no honest clinic quotes a graft over the phone
"Bone graft" covers procedures as different as a small graft placed in a socket on extraction day and a lateral sinus lift that rebuilds several millimetres of height under the sinus. Until a CBCT scan shows how much bone you have and where the sinus and nerve sit, any phone price is a guess, and guesses tend to grow later.
At Manhal Medical Center you get the opposite: an examination, a 3D scan, an explanation of whether you need a graft at all, and then a written, itemised quote listing every stage, from the scan to the final crown. Oral surgeon Dr. Moataz Al-Khan and consultant implantologist Dr. Manhal Helfawee plan the graft and implant together, so you are not quoted twice for overlapping work.

What drives the price of a bone graft or sinus lift
- The technique: socket preservation, minor graft at implant placement, ridge augmentation (GBR, block or ridge split), crestal or lateral sinus lift
- How much bone must be rebuilt, which sets the amount of graft and membrane needed
- Graft material: your own bone, donor bone, bovine bone or synthetic substitute
- Membrane type and any fixation pins or screws
- CBCT imaging before surgery and, often, a check scan before the implant
- Whether the implant is placed at the same visit (one surgery) or after healing (two)
- Medication, stitch removal and review visits
- The implant, abutment and crown that follow, quoted as separate lines

Comparing quotes? Check these lines
Two quotes can look far apart simply because one includes more. Line them up item by item.
| Item | Question to ask | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Imaging | Are the CBCT scan and any check scan included? | A second scan before the implant is common |
| Graft and membrane | Which material and membrane, and how much? | Materials differ in cost and handling |
| Surgery count | Is the implant placed at the same visit or later? | Two surgeries cost more than one |
| Implant stage | Does the price cover implant, abutment and crown? | Some quotes cover the graft alone |
| Aftercare | Are medication, stitch removal and reviews included? | These add up across several months |
| Who operates | What is the surgeon's specialty and DHA licence? | Experience matters most in larger grafts |
Ways to keep your total implant cost under control
Graft at extraction
Socket preservation on extraction day is usually simpler than rebuilding a ridge after months of shrinkage.
Combine when it is safe
Grafting and placing the implant in one surgery saves a visit when the implant is stable on its own.
Consider graft-free options
Short or tilted implants can sometimes avoid a sinus lift altogether.
Treat gums and stop smoking first
Healthy gums and no smoking lower the risk of complications that add cost later.
How to get your itemised quote
- Send any X-ray or CBCT you already have on WhatsApp, or book a consultation
- Examination and CBCT 3D scan at the clinic in Al Safa 1
- Options explained: graft or no graft, one surgery or two, materials
- Written, itemised quote for each stage, including implant and crown

Insurance and planning your budget
Many UAE insurance policies cover implants and grafting partially or not at all. Check your policy before treatment and ask for pre-approval; Manhal provides the documents your insurer needs, and the itemised plan makes each line easy to submit.
Grafting is one stage of a larger plan, so look at the total: consultation and imaging, any extraction, the graft or sinus lift, the implant, abutment and crown. See dental implant cost in Dubai for the implant side, and the full bone grafting and sinus lift guide for techniques and recovery.

Questions patients ask
Patients visit us from Al Safa, Al Wasl, Jumeirah, Umm Suqeim, Al Quoz, City Walk, Business Bay, Downtown Dubai and Al Barsha — and from Sharjah and the wider UAE.
Why can't I get a bone graft price over the phone?
The technique and the amount of graft can only be decided after examination and a CBCT scan. A phone figure would be a guess that could change once your bone is measured. A written, itemised quote after assessment is more reliable and easier to compare.
Is a sinus lift more expensive than a regular bone graft?
A lateral sinus lift is usually one of the more involved grafting procedures, while a crestal sinus lift done through the implant site is less extensive. Small grafts and socket preservation are generally simpler. Your quote shows exactly which procedure is proposed and why.
Does the price include the implant?
At Manhal the graft, implant, abutment and crown appear as separate lines on the same written plan, so you can see both the grafting cost and the total. When comparing quotes elsewhere, check whether the price covers the graft alone.
Will I pay for a second scan?
A follow-up CBCT before implant placement is often needed to confirm the graft has healed. Your itemised plan states whether it is included, so there is no surprise later.
Is it cheaper to do the graft and implant together?
One surgery instead of two can reduce visits and some costs, and it is done whenever the implant can be stable on its own. For larger defects, staging is usually safer, and safety comes first. The surgeon explains which applies to you.
Is socket preservation at extraction cheaper than grafting later?
Often yes. Grafting the socket on extraction day limits the shrinkage that happens in the first months, so the later implant is simpler and may not need a larger ridge augmentation. That is why we suggest booking the implant assessment before a tooth is removed, not after.
Can I avoid paying for a graft?
Sometimes. Short implants, tilted implants as in All-on-4, or a bridge can avoid grafting in suitable cases. The team compares graft-free options honestly before recommending surgery.
Does the price differ between the upper and lower jaw?
The jaw itself does not set the price; what the site needs does. In the upper back jaw a sinus lift may be needed, while in the lower jaw the ridge may need widening away from the nerve. The CBCT scan shows which applies, and it appears on your written quote.
Does insurance cover bone grafting in Dubai?
Coverage varies; many policies cover grafting partially or not at all. Ask your insurer and request pre-approval. Manhal can provide the clinical documents needed.
Does the graft material change the price?
Yes. Your own bone avoids material cost but needs a second site; donor, bovine and synthetic materials and different membranes vary in cost. Your surgeon explains the options, including for preferences about material origin.
Who will perform my graft?
Dr. Moataz Al-Khan, Specialist Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon (DHA licence 00048618-005), performs grafting and sinus lifts, planned with Dr. Manhal Helfawee, Consultant Implantologist (DHA licence 00169366-001).
Can patients from abroad get a quote before travelling?
Yes. Send your existing scans and photos on WhatsApp for a preliminary review. The final quote follows examination in Dubai. Grafting often needs healing time, so plan for a possible second trip.

How much does a sinus lift cost in Dubai?

Is bone grafting expensive in Dubai?

Like many people, I don't enjoy the dentist. For many years I avoided visits out of fear. I found Manhal 15 years ago, and he is a wonderful dentist. Calming presence. Excellent implantology as well as other dental work. I have recommended him personally to many friends, and will continue to do so. I just hope he doesn't ever retire. When I have been overseas with dental problems, I have flown back to Dubai specifically to see him. Could not imagine ever going to another dentist.this was my first visit to Dr Manhal after recomendation from my husband, i needed his consultation after i visited more than one doctor in Lebanon with no luck, i am glad i visited him, he is very professional the clinic is very clean with great staffAmazing service and very friendly team I'm very happy with my dental implant results with Dr.Manhal ❤️
