Dr. Manhal Helfawee

Patients most often come to him for single implants, All-on-4 and All-on-6 full-arch treatment, bone grafting planning, veneers and implant crowns designed to match natural teeth.

The founder behind Manhal Medical Center
Dr. Manhal Helfawee founded Manhal Medical Center — the centre carries his name — and remains its Medical Director. After more than twenty years of clinical practice in the UAE, he built the centre around the way he believes dental care should work: diagnose carefully, plan precisely, explain everything in writing and stay with the patient long after the treatment is fitted.
Today the centre has three departments — dentistry, orthodontics and dermatology & aesthetics — but implant and restorative dentistry remain his own daily work. Patients see him to replace one missing tooth, to move from loose dentures to fixed teeth, or to rebuild a smile that has worn, chipped or discoloured over the years.
Training and experience
BDS — University of Aleppo
He qualified in dentistry at the University of Aleppo.
Advanced Diploma in Implant Dentistry — European University College
A postgraduate diploma focused on implant planning, surgery and restoration — the full sequence from deciding whether an implant is right to designing the final tooth on top of it.
20+ years of practice in the UAE
Two decades of implant and restorative work in the UAE means he has seen how treatment holds up over the long term — which is why his plans put as much weight on the bite, the gums and maintenance as on the day the implant goes in.
The clinical standards he sets for the whole centre
As Medical Director, Dr. Manhal sets the standards every department at Manhal works to:
- Digital planning where it adds accuracy. 3D CBCT imaging and digital scans are used to measure bone and plan implant position before surgery, and guided implant surgery is used where it improves precision.
- Written treatment plans. You receive your options, the stages, the timeline and the fee in writing before treatment starts.
- Follow-up after the final crown. Care does not stop when the tooth is fitted. Reviews and maintenance protect the implant, the gums and the bite.
- Teamwork for surgical cases. Where bone grafting, sinus lifts or complex extractions are needed, he plans with oral and maxillofacial surgeon Dr. Moataz Al-Khan.
Signature treatments
Dental implants
Single, multiple and molar implants planned digitally, with the crown designed to match your natural teeth.
All-on-4 & All-on-6
A fixed full-arch bridge on four or six implants for patients with failing teeth or loose dentures.
Bone grafting & sinus lift planning
When bone is thin, he plans grafting or a sinus lift so implants have a stable foundation.
Implant crowns
Screw- or cement-retained crowns shaped and shaded so the implant tooth blends in.
Porcelain veneers
Thin porcelain shells for chipped, worn, discoloured or uneven front teeth, with minimal preparation.
Hollywood smile
A full smile design with veneers or crowns, aimed at a bright result that still looks like your own teeth.
Full-mouth rehabilitation
Rebuilding a worn or broken-down mouth with implants, crowns and bite correction in a staged plan.
Problems with implants placed elsewhere
Assessment of loose, painful or failing implants and crowns from other clinics, and a plan to repair or replace them.
Who should see Dr. Manhal
- You have one or more missing teeth and want a fixed replacement rather than a bridge or denture
- Your dentures are loose and you want fixed teeth or implant-retained dentures
- Several teeth are failing and you have been told you may need a full-arch solution
- You were told you do not have enough bone for implants and want to know your options
- You have an implant or crown from another clinic that is loose, painful or looks wrong
- You want veneers or a Hollywood smile that looks natural, not oversized or flat white

- A conversation about what bothers you, your medical history, medicines and what you want to achieve

- X-rays and, when implants are being considered, a 3D CBCT scan to measure bone

- If surgery is complex, a joint plan with oral surgeon Dr. Moataz Al-Khan
Implant vs bridge vs denture: how he explains the choice
| Factor | Dental implant | Bridge | Removable denture |
|---|---|---|---|
| Neighbouring teeth | Left untouched | Usually reshaped for crowns | Clasps may rest on them |
| Feels like | A fixed tooth | Fixed teeth | Removable; can move |
| Bone in the gap | Implant helps preserve it | Continues to shrink | Continues to shrink |
| Surgery | Yes — minor oral surgery | No | No |
| Treatment time | Usually a few months | A few weeks | A few weeks |
| Upfront cost | Higher | Medium | Lower |
The right answer depends on your bone, gums, health and budget. Compare in detail: implant vs bridge and implant vs denture.
Fees and what affects them
Implant and veneer fees depend on the number of teeth, whether bone grafting or a sinus lift is needed, the type of crown or bridge, and whether temporary teeth are required while you heal. After your consultation the fee is quoted in writing as part of your plan. For typical cost ranges explained, see dental implant cost in Dubai.
How to choose the best implant dentist in Dubai
- Ask how many years the dentist has been placing and restoring implants, and where they trained
- Make sure a 3D CBCT scan is used to measure bone before surgery
- Ask who places the implant and who makes the crown — and who you go back to if something goes wrong
- Ask which implant system is used and whether parts will be available in the future
- Insist on a written plan with every stage and the total fee
- Ask what follow-up and maintenance are included after the final crown

Questions patients ask
Who is Dr. Manhal Helfawee?
Dr. Manhal Helfawee is the Founder and Medical Director of Manhal Medical Center in Al Safa 1, Dubai, and its consultant implantologist. He has more than 20 years of clinical practice in the UAE, a BDS from the University of Aleppo and an Advanced Diploma in Implant Dentistry from European University College.
What is his DHA licence?
Dr. Manhal holds DHA licence 00169366-001 under the licence title Dentist — General Dentist, registered to Manhal Medical Center LLC; you can verify it on DHA Sheryan. 'Consultant Implantologist' describes his role at the centre and his implant focus, built on his implant diploma and two decades of practice.
What treatments does Dr. Manhal provide?
He focuses on single and multiple dental implants, All-on-4 and All-on-6 full-arch treatment, implant-supported dentures, implant crowns, porcelain veneers, Hollywood smile design and full-mouth rehabilitation. Complex surgical steps such as major bone grafting or sinus lifts are planned with oral surgeon Dr. Moataz Al-Khan.
Am I suitable for dental implants?
Most healthy adults with a missing tooth can be considered. Suitability depends on bone volume, gum health, smoking and medical conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes. Dr. Manhal checks these at your consultation, usually with a 3D CBCT scan, and explains whether you need bone grafting first.
What if I do not have enough bone?
Thin or low bone does not always rule implants out. Options include bone grafting, a sinus lift in the upper back jaw, shorter implants or an All-on-4 layout that uses the available bone. Dr. Manhal plans the safest route and coordinates surgical steps with Dr. Moataz Al-Khan where needed.
Does it hurt to have an implant placed?
The procedure is done under local anaesthetic, so you should feel pressure rather than pain. Most patients describe the following days as manageable with simple painkillers, with some swelling for a few days. You receive written aftercare instructions and a contact number for questions.
How long does implant treatment take?
A single implant usually takes a few months from placement to final crown, allowing the bone to bond with the implant. Bone grafting can add time. In some cases a temporary tooth can be fitted earlier. Your written plan shows each stage and the expected timeline.
How much do dental implants cost with Dr. Manhal?
The fee depends on the number of implants, the implant system, any grafting or sinus lift, the type of crown or bridge and temporary teeth. After the consultation and scan, you receive the full fee in writing. Message us on WhatsApp to ask about today's consultation fee.
Can he fix an implant placed at another clinic?
Yes. Dr. Manhal regularly sees patients whose implants or implant crowns were placed elsewhere and have become loose, painful or inflamed, or look wrong. He assesses the implant, gums and crown with X-rays or a CBCT scan, then explains whether it can be repaired, restored again or needs replacing.
Will my veneers or Hollywood smile look natural?
Natural results come from planning shape, length and shade around your face, lips and gums rather than choosing the whitest option. Dr. Manhal designs veneers to suit you and can show the planned result before preparation. Composite bonding or whitening may be suggested where they achieve the goal more conservatively.
Do you treat patients from outside Dubai?
Yes. Patients come from Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and abroad. You can send recent X-rays or scans by WhatsApp for a preliminary review before travelling. The clinic does not arrange visas, hotels or transfers, but the treatment schedule can be planned around your visit.
What happens after my implant crown is fitted?
Follow-up continues after the final crown. You will have review visits to check the implant, gums and bite, professional cleaning, and advice on home care. If you grind your teeth, a night guard may be recommended to protect the work.

What patients say on Google
Verbatim Google reviews (4★ and 5★) — shown in the original language.
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 ❤️“Excellent tooth extraction experience at Dr. Munhal's clinic. He is extremely careful with sterilization, uses the latest equipment, and delivers very high-quality work. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a world-class dentist.”Easy to locate. Excellent service. My husband and I went for dental checkups with Dr Manhal. He was very knowledgeable and professional. The waiting area near the reception could have had more decoration and nicer furniture. The staff were cheerful and friendly.Got my teeth cleaned and polished at Manhal Medical Center with Dr. Manhal and the team! 🦷✨ Super professional and gentle. The clinic is clean and modern. Highly recommend…
