Dental implants without bone grafting

Graftless dental implants give you fixed teeth even if you were told your jawbone is too thin, with no bone-graft surgery and no months of waiting. Dr. Nabeel Al Nahhas, a consultant prosthodontist in the UAE with more than 28 years in dentistry, places tilted, pterygoid and zygomatic implants at planned angles in the strong bone you already have, and fixes your teeth on them within 24 hours. As he puts it: "Who told you that you can't have implants because your jaw is weak? That is outdated."

Who it is for

  • Patients told they need a bone graft before implants.
  • People who have worn dentures for years and whose bone has shrunk.
  • Patients over 40 with bone loss. As Dr. Nabeel says: it is not too late.
  • Full-arch cases, where tilted back implants, pterygoid implants or zygomatic implants replace grafting entirely.

How treatment runs

  1. 3D scan of the bone

    A CBCT scan maps the height, width and quality of your bone, the sinus and the nerve.

  2. Planning the angles

    Dr. Nabeel plans each implant's position and angle on the scan, so every implant sits in strong, existing bone.

  3. Implant placement

    Tilted, pterygoid or zygomatic implants are placed under local anaesthesia, with no graft and no second surgery.

  4. Teeth fixed within 24 hours

    Fixed teeth are attached to the implants within 24 hours. You leave with teeth, not a gap.

  5. Final teeth

    Once the implants have bonded with the bone, your final bridge is made and fitted.

Graftless implants or bone grafting?

Graftless implants

Uses the bone you already have through implant position and angle. No graft, no long wait, teeth fixed within 24 hours.

Bone grafting first

Rebuilds bone in a separate surgery, then months of waiting before the implants and teeth.

Why his graftless approach works

  • As Dr. Nabeel says: it is not only the amount of bone that matters. What matters most is how the case is planned.
  • Every case starts with a 3D scan and a precise examination, so he chooses the right solution for you.
  • He works with tilted, pterygoid and zygomatic implants, so even severe bone loss has a fixed solution.
  • You receive clear written aftercare and regular reviews to keep your new teeth healthy for years.

Dr. Nabeel explains

Told your jaw is too weak for implants? That's outdated

Dr. Nabeel on implants without bone grafting: implants placed in specific positions and angles, with teeth fixed within 24 hours.

Read what he says

No, no, no, no, no. Who told you that you're not suitable for dental implants? Dental implants are possible using certain techniques. If they told you that you can't have dental implants because your jaw is weak, that's old talk. Using modern techniques, namely dental implants without bone grafting, by trained dentists experienced in dental implants and prosthodontics, implants can be placed in specific positions, specialised implants at specific angles, and the teeth fixed onto them within 24 hours. This is a modern technique, and all you need to do is turn to specialised, experienced dentists. This is Dr. Nabeel Safwat Al Nahhas, consultant in prosthodontics and dental implants, with more than twenty-eight years of experience in the United Arab Emirates.

Over 40 with bone loss? Implants are still for you

Bone loss is natural and doesn't rule out implants. Dr. Nabeel places implants even with bone loss, using a 3D scan and angled implants.

Read what he says

Are you over forty and have bone loss? Don't rush to judge. Bone loss at this age is normal, it doesn't mean you can't have implants. The truth is, the amount of bone isn't the only thing that matters. What matters most is how we plan the case. And now, thanks to modern techniques and specialised angled implants, we can place implants even with bone loss, and sometimes without a bone graft, without patching, without a long wait. But before any step, I have to do a 3D scan and a thorough examination, so we can choose the best solution for you. This is Dr. Nabeel Safwat Al Nahhas, consultant in prosthodontics and dental implants. Book your consultations at Adamah Center, and don't think it's too late. You're still young at forty!

Common questions

I am over forty and have bone loss. Is it too late for implants?

No. In Dr. Nabeel's words: bone loss over 40 is normal, and it does not mean you can't have implants. With modern techniques and specialised angled implants, he places implants even with bone loss, without grafting, without patching and without a long wait. "Don't think it's too late. At forty you are still young."

Can you get dental implants without enough bone?

Yes. Being told your jaw is too weak is outdated. Dr. Nabeel places customised implants at specific angles in the bone you have, including pterygoid and zygomatic implants for the upper jaw.

Will I get teeth quickly?

Yes. Teeth are fixed on the implants within 24 hours.

How much does it cost?

Skipping the graft saves you the cost and the waiting of a separate surgery. The consultation is free and includes a digital X-ray, and Dr. Nabeel gives you your plan and its cost in writing.

Can I send my scan first?

Yes. Send your panoramic X-ray or CBCT scan on WhatsApp and Dr. Nabeel will give you his opinion.
