Modern Standards of Implantology
At Polyclinic.ae, implantology is performed according to international standards, by a highly qualified team using a full range of advanced technologies — all under one roof.
Implant procedures are carried out only by doctors holding an official Implantology Privilege from the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) — a special certification confirming surgical expertise and ensuring the highest level of safety and precision.
The department is led by Dr. Svetlana Volkova, a uniquely qualified Russian-speaking implantologist, and one of the few specialists in Dubai to have earned this privilege after passing a rigorous DHA certification process.
We use Straumann and MegaGen implant systems. Treatment planning may include 3D CT diagnostics, digital planning and surgical guides when clinically indicated. The treatment plan is selected individually after consultation and diagnostics.
Implantology Privilege in the UAE
In Dubai, dental implant surgery can only be performed by specialists who hold a DHA Implantology Privilege — an advanced certification beyond a standard dental license.
This privilege verifies that the doctor has the education, surgical skills, and proven clinical experience to safely perform implant procedures.
To obtain this status, a dentist must:
- Hold a valid UAE dental license.
- Pass an additional implantology qualification exam.
- Present and defend at least 30 documented clinical implant cases before the DHA commission.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Who is allowed to perform implant surgery in Dubai?
-
Only dentists or oral surgeons with the Implantology Privilege from the DHA.
This confirms their competence through formal exams and a minimum of 30 successful implant cases. - Why choose implants over bridges or dentures?
-
An implant replaces the tooth root without affecting neighboring teeth.
Unlike removable dentures, it is fixed, stable, and looks completely natural. - Is implant placement painful?
-
No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia.
You’ll feel no pain — only mild discomfort afterward, which quickly subsides. - How long does the procedure take?
-
Usually 30–60 minutes per implant.
Healing takes 3–6 months, after which the final crown is placed.
With immediate protocols, a temporary crown can be fitted on the same day. - Can an implant be placed immediately after extraction?
-
Yes. In selected cases, the implant can be placed right after tooth removal,
depending on bone condition and stability. - How long do implants last?
-
With systems like Straumann and MegaGen, implants can last a lifetime when properly cared for and maintained.
- What if there isn’t enough bone for an implant?
-
We perform bone grafting or sinus lift procedures, enabling implant placement even in challenging cases.
- Can I verify that my doctor is certified to place implants?
-
Yes. The DHA website lists all licensed dentists with their privileges.
All implantologists at Polyclinic.ae hold active Implantology Privilege certification. - Are there age restrictions?
-
Implants can be placed in healthy adults of any age.
The minimum age is typically 18, once bone growth is complete. - What is “Same-Day Implantation”?
-
It’s an advanced protocol where a temporary crown is attached immediately after implant placement, allowing faster restoration of function and aesthetics.
- What is a surgical guide and why is it used?
-
A surgical guide is a 3D-printed device designed from the patient’s CT scan. It helps the doctor follow the digitally planned implant position, angle and depth during surgery.
