What is Bone Grafting?
A dental bone graft is a surgical procedure that involves building up the jawbone to create a stronger jawbone foundation in preparation for dental implant surgery.
Bone Grafting
How long does the procedure take?
Bone grafting is a minor surgery and the procedure usually takes about 15 to 30 minutes.
What should I expect after the procedure?
Immediately after the surgery it is normal to experience some pain, swelling and bruising in the area where the graft (bone) has been taken from and also in the jaw, which generally lasts for about one to two weeks. You will be prescribed a course of antibiotics and painkillers to use over the following week.What happens next?
The stiches will be removed after one week. Then, depending on your case, the graft will be left to heal for a period of 3 to 6 months. After this period the surgeon will proceed to insert the dental implants.Are there any special precautions I should be aware of?
Yes. Start taking the prescribed medications immediately after the procedure to avoid infection of the site and reduce discomfort.When eating, avoid chewing on the site for the next 8 weeks, and it is preferable to eat soft food. For smoking patients, please stop. Not only this is bad for your health in general but it also decreases the success rate of the bone graft that was placed.
How can I reduce the risk of bone loss in the future?
The ideal solution is to replace lost teeth quickly to avoid significant bone loss. Check our Dental Implant leaflet for more info.Our Services

Max Fax™ Sculpting
This signature technique by Dr. Maen is based on the maxillo-facial knowledge of the patient’s own facial bones features. Since every person is unique, by carefully studying individual aesthetic proportions and relating them to the underlying facial structure (dermal thickness and bones’ position), the result obtained is a bespoke enhanced definition of cheeks, chin and jaw line. The material injected is Hyaluronic Acid, and depending on the patient’s own facial features, Dr. Maen will use different types of fillers. When treating volume loss, Volume Dermal Fillers are injected onto the bone or deeper in the soft tissue; while when treating lines and wrinkles, the injections are performed under the skin, in tiny amounts to obtain a ‘lift effect’. Dr. Maen is the ‘artist’ who will decide which one is most suitable for each case.
Max Fax™ Face Lift
Since the Max Fax™ method is extremely customized and tailored on patient’s needs, Dr. Maen’s Max Fax™ Face Lift technique aims to restore a plumber and more youthful appearance for patients over 40. The technique involves the use of medical threads that are inserted in specific areas to target the sagging of the skin and slow the ageing process. The Max Fax™ Face Lift is the best choice to treat droopy eyebrows, sleepy eyes, sagging jawline and double chin. The technique can be used in combination with the Face Sculpting for a complete profile enhancement.
Max Fax™ Surgery
The Max-Fax Face Sculpting technique is brought to a different level with this approach. The method involves the initial calculation of the patient’s own aesthetic proportions in combination with the evaluation of their facial bones’ structure and position. The case-study might involve the intervention of different specialties in the view to correct specific areas, such as excessive gingival display (gingivoplasty), upper and lower jaw (orthognatic surgery), chin bone (ginoplasty), maxillary bone (jaw implants) or cheeks bones (cheeks implants), or, in some cases, even multiple areas. After the initial correction process has been completed, the Max-Fax Surgery will take place to enhance those corrections through the application of facial implants. Patients enjoy the end result, as it is permanent and completely tailored to their own facial features, meaning that they still find themselves in the mirror yet with harmony and enhanced appearance.
Fox Eyes by Max Fax™
One of the latest trends in aesthetic procedures, created by Dr. Maen and one of the most requested internationally. The target area are the eyes, upper and lower eye-lids, eyebrows. The procedure can be performed with three different techniques, depending on each case. For younger patients, usually the method comprise the use of Botox in specific amounts around the eyes and eyebrows to achieve the “Foxy Eye look”. In patients with mildly sagging eyelids and droopy eyebrows, the method is performed non-invasivally by the insertion of medical threads. For more aged skin, the method is easily performed by tiny surgical cut at the base of the hairline or the eyebrow and the skin is lifted, along with the underlying muscle, to achieve the sharp look. In more advanced cases, in conjunction with droopy eyes, the Fox Eyes technique involves the surgical procedures of upper and lower blepharoplasty, i.e. eye-lid surgery. The end result is the “Foxy Eyes look”, a sharp, sexy, youthful glare, sported by many actors and models around the world.
Lip Laser
This one-of-a-kind procedure was first implemented in the UAE by Dr. Maen Al Khateeb in 2010, thanks to his Master Degree in Laser from Achen University (Germany) and more than 25 years of experience in the field. The Lip Laser procedure aims to reduce the appearance of dark spots on the lips and gums, by specifically targeting melanine pigmentation, and restoring natural lips and gums colour. Although the melanin pigmentation of the gingiva and the lips is a completely benign condition and does not represent a medical problem, yet it represents aesthetical source of concerns for many patients. Laser Depigmentation is based on selective photothermolysis principle. Laser energy is transformed into ablation energy, resulting in cellular rupture and vaporization with minimal heating of the surrounding tissue. Different laser techniques have been used for treatment of oral melanin pigmentation, The technique requires high accuracy and precision and involves the depigmentation of the lips through the utilization of Laser by using specific parameters, different for each case.
Upper Lip Lift
Bothered by a long upper lip that covers your teeth when smiling? In some cases, lips enhancement is achieved not by lip fillers injections, but by a minimally invasive procedure: Upper Lip Lift may be the right choice for your case.
Buccal Fat Removal

Orthognatic Surgery
Facial asymmetry, retracted maxilla, prominent mandibula, lack of cheekbones, small chin, sloping jawline and malocclusion. Those are some of the problems solved by orthognatic surgery. Orthognatic surgery is a procedure aimed to correct the position and alignment of facial bones, whether due to congenital malformation or to traumatic accidents.
Otoplasty
Otoplasty (also known as Pinnaplasty or Ear Pinning Surgery) is a type of a surgical procedure used for the correction of prominent ears. This procedure is also known as otoplasty or ear pinning. This ear plastic surgery is conducted on people of both the sexes and of all ages, who wish to correct their ears that tend to stick out.
Some people may not bother about the “bat” shape of their ears, but, for others, continuous comments from others can lead to distress, particularly during school years. Otoplasty is the best and simple procedure that can solve the problem safely and quickly.
Ear pinning surgery involves making an incision just behind the ear in the natural fold where the ear joins the head. This lets the surgeon reshape the ear by removing some part of the cartilage. The surgeon can then use permanent internal stitches to keep the ears in their new place
Dermal Fillers
We all know the aging process cannot be stopped, but at least scientists found a way to slow its visible effects. Dermal Fillers injections are a simple, quick and affordable treatment that helps reverse the signs of aging by working in harmony with your facial tissues to give you an amazingly younger-looking skin.
Botox
Smooth, fresh, young-looking skin doesn’t just look fabulous, often makes people feel good thanks to the stunning end results that increase their self-confidence. We use our facial muscles to express our emotions, but, over time, prominent lines inevitably appear in the outer layers of the skin. To delay this aging effect, more and more people are using Botox ® injection as a simple, safe and affordable way to turn back time and send worries away.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are the most advanced way to replace missing teeth: they look, feel and function just like natural teeth.
Bone Grafting
Over time, in an area where teeth have been lost, bone naturally shrinks or resorbs, both in height and width. As a result, new bone must be grafted to create a secure site for placing implants and to achieve aesthetic results.
