Hire an implantologist in Dubai

Implantologists and oral surgeons for dental clinics and multi-speciality centres in Dubai. Implants are the highest-value treatment in most dental clinics, so one wrong hire shows up in complications, lost consultations and a damaged name. We help you find and assess doctors by their real surgical caseload, planning method and the way they present a complex plan to a patient. The decision is yours.

Who we help you hire

A surgeon who plans from the scan, places and restores implants predictably, handles bone and sinus work within the scope the regulator allows, and converts an expensive consultation into a treatment plan the patient accepts.

Licensing for implantologists (DHA)

An implantologist in Dubai works as a licensed dentist, and what the doctor may do independently depends on the licensed title and the scope the regulator allows. The licence route sets the start date, so we check it before the interviews.

1
DataFlow (PSV): verification of the dental degree, postgraduate training, previous licences and work experience.
2
Requirements check: the qualification and experience are matched to the licence category the regulator offers; a specialist title needs its own evidence.
3
Assessment: an exam or interview may be required depending on the qualification and the country of training.
4
Licence and facility: the licence is activated under your clinic; the surgical scope is agreed with the clinic and the regulator's rules before the first patient.

A general dentist who places implants and a registered specialist can have different permitted scopes. Do not assume it: ask the doctor for the exact licence title and agree the scope in writing. A doctor already licensed in Dubai can start much faster through a licence transfer.

FAQ

How much does an implantologist earn in Dubai?

Market estimate: about 30,000 - 50,000 AED per month and more for a specialist or oral surgeon, and roughly 25,000 - 35,000 AED for a dentist who focuses on implants. Many clinics combine a fixed minimum with 30-40% of collections, and the real number depends on caseload and the doctor's own patient base.

What should I test when hiring an implantologist?

Ask the doctor to plan a real anonymised case from a CBCT: implant positions, bone and sinus decisions, guide or freehand, restoration plan and what could go wrong. Then ask for the case log with outcomes, how complications were handled and how a consultation is run. Check surgical skill on a model or in a supervised session only within the clinic's protocols.

How much does it cost to hire through TLNT?

Our fee is fixed for each role and agreed before the search starts. A 10% prepayment of the fee starts the search, the rest is due once the person has started work. If it does not work out, we find a replacement free of charge; the period is set in the contract.
