Replacing missing teeth

Dental Implants in Amman

A dental implant can replace a missing tooth by placing an artificial root in the bone, then restoring it with a crown after suitable healing. At Dr. Majed Sabbah Dental Clinic in Amman, treatment starts with an examination and imaging when needed. We discuss whether an implant is appropriate in your case in Jordan — including immediate dental implants when the socket allows — or whether another option is clearer at this stage. The two paths are compared in immediate versus conventional dental implants.

Willingness to maintain daily cleaning and follow-up visits

What happens at the visit?

01Medical history review and examination of the mouth and neighbouring teeth.
02Radiographs when needed to assess bone, nerves, and sinus position.
03Discussion of alternatives such as a bridge or removable prosthesis.
04If an implant is planned, the steps and likely timeline are set for your case — not as a universal promise.

After implant placement

Swelling or discomfort can last a few days. Medicines, cleaning instructions, and review visits matter. Long-term implant health depends on healing, bite forces, and daily care, not on a single appointment.

Clinical cases

Medical note

Implants are not presented here as a guaranteed result. Smoking, untreated gum disease, and some medical conditions can affect healing. The decision is made after examination.

Frequently asked questions

Is dental implant treatment painful?

Placement is usually done with local anaesthesia. After the anaesthetic wears off, soreness or swelling can occur and is managed with medicines and instructions. Comfort varies between people.

How long does dental implant treatment take?

The surgical visit itself may be relatively short. The full plan includes healing and then the crown, which can take weeks to months depending on the case and any supporting treatment.

How much do dental implants cost in Jordan?

Fees vary with the number of implants, the type of restoration, and whether bone or gum procedures are needed. We do not list a single price online; an estimate follows the examination.

What are immediate dental implants?

Immediate placement means putting the implant soon after extraction if bone and the socket allow stability. It is not automatically a finished tooth the same day. The difference from delayed placement is explained after examination.
