Dental implant procedure:
This section is for patients who are not residents of Lebanon and would like to travel to Jounieh, to have their dental implant work performed by Michel P. Jazzar DDS one of the Lebanon's top dental implant Surgeons and Prosthodontists.
Patients from all over the world travel to place and/or restore their dental implants. This procedure works out best if the patient will spend several months in the area, but occasionally, we have patients who fly in for various aspects of their dental work and then return at later times for completion. If you would like to consider treatment by Dr. Jazzar, you might want to check out what we did for one of our and then read the guidelines below:
Contact one of the two dental clinics and arrange to send your dental records for review prior to coming to the area. This will give Dr. Jazzar a chance to familiarize himself with your dental situation and to determine what might be done to help you and will be glad to assist you.
Patients receiving implants must be available for up to two weeks after implant placement so that Dr. Jazzar can check on the healing.
Patients receiving extensive grafting procedures may have to be monitored by another dentist if they leave the area during the healing phase of treatment.
There is a second stage to the implant surgery which is done approximately 5 to 6 weeks after the implants are placed. [Some kinds of implant need 3 weeks only - e.g. ITI SLActive].
Prosthetic reconstruction will usually take between two weeks to complete once the implants are osseointegrated. Time restrictions may prohibit this phase from being performed in Lebanon and might necessarily be carried out elsewhere.

What differentiates Dr. Jazzar's Prosthodontic practice from others?
Because Dr. Jazzar is one of the leaders in dental implantology, he is considered by some to be a "Real Specialist". While Dr. Jazzar has always restored dental implants, for the past 10 years, he has been placing dental implants for his own patients and for patients of many dentists right here in Lebanon. He has taught dentists from all over the world the techniques for placing and restoring dental implants. Dr Jazzar was invited for many conferences on Dental implants in Lebanon. He is invited by the scientific committee to be a lecturer at the next International Congress of Nice- France 7-8 June 2007 where he will give a presentation on a new case of full mouth fixed denture.He has been interviewed on TV Stations concerning the oral implants and bone grafting.
Fees for dental implants
Fees for dental implants are often inflated. Many patients save more then 50% on their implant treatment when they become patients of Dr Michel P. Jazzar clinics located in the Republic of Lebanon.
Implant’s cost?
Dental Implantology is a fairly new area of dentistry and the costs are still high. As time goes on and more and more dentists are involved in these procedures, the cost will come down significantly.
There has, in my opinion, been a tendency for certain practitioners to overcharge for dental implant procedures. If you are interested in my commentary about excessive fees in this field of dentistry, send an email to Dr Michel P. Jazzar to

There are two major costs involved in dental implant treatment. The first is the implant itself and the second is the restoration (tooth or teeth) that is anchored by the implant. Fees for these services vary considerably. I have seen fees for a single implant that range from $1200.00 up to $3,000.00. I think that an average fee for the placement of each oral implant is between $1000.00 and $2000.00.
In my practice, the fee per implant is between $950.00 and $1750.00 depending what kind of implant is used. There are, however, situations where I might charge more or less for a particular patient treatment due to the difficulties or complexities of the treatment situation.
Restorations on implants vary to a much greater degree and an individual can pay as much as several hundred to several thousand dollars for a single restoration, up to over $80,000.00 for a complete full mouth rehabilitation involving almost 16 upper and lower dental implants.
Fortunately, there are implant restorations available for most people that are in the realistic range and allow many more people today to find a suitable solution to replacing missing teeth. You have to make sure that the dentist that you choose is familiar with all of the restorative options to suit your needs and that he can provide the treatment at a fee that you can live with.
Note:
There is a special fee per implant for patients referred to Dr. Michel P. Jazzar by other dentist just for implant placement.
If your dentist is going to do the restorative work on your dental implants, the fee for each implant will depend on your oral case. To qualify for this fee, you must have a valid referral and treatment plan from your dentist.
