Bone graft and sinus lift cost in Dubai — what you pay for and why

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
