How many implants do you need?
Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. While dentists always prefer to save natural teeth, extraction becomes necessary when a tooth is too damaged, decayed, or infected to repair, or when wisdom teeth are causing problems. Extractions are also performed to prepare for other treatments like implants, dentures, or orthodontics. A simple extraction is performed on a tooth that is visible above the gum line. The dentist loosens the tooth with an instrument called an elevator, then removes it with forceps. A surgical extraction is needed when a tooth has broken off at the gum line or has not fully emerged (impacted). This involves making a small incision in the gum and sometimes removing a small amount of bone to access the tooth. Modern extraction techniques are gentler than ever, with most patients reporting that the procedure was easier than they expected. The socket typically heals within one to two weeks, and the dentist will provide specific aftercare instructions to ensure smooth recovery.

Yes. Dubai is a well-established dental tourism destination. MyDentalFly only lists verified clinics with international accreditations. The same implant brands and materials used in the UK are available at partner clinics.
You'll typically need to stay 2-4 days in Dubai. Most treatments can be completed in a single trip.
The procedure itself is painless under local anaesthetic — you will feel pressure but not pain. Afterwards, mild to moderate soreness is normal for 2-3 days and is well managed with over-the-counter painkillers.
Most patients feel significantly better within 2-3 days. The socket takes 1-2 weeks to heal over with gum tissue. Full bone healing takes 3-4 months, which is relevant if you are planning an implant.
Dry socket occurs when the blood clot in the extraction site is dislodged, exposing the bone. Avoid drinking through straws, spitting forcefully, and smoking for 3-5 days after extraction. These are the main preventable causes.
Dubai dental prices are typically 30-50% lower than the UK for equivalent treatments, though the savings are not as dramatic as Turkey or Hungary. The value proposition is luxury facilities, internationally trained dentists, and a premium patient experience at a lower cost than home.
Dubai appeals to patients who want a luxury experience with strict regulatory standards and English as a first language. Turkey offers lower prices overall. Dubai is popular with UAE residents and patients from the Gulf region, while also attracting UK and US patients who value premium facilities.
