Beirut has no shortage of dental clinics. What it has always needed — and what patients travel from across the Gulf and Africa to access — is a surgeon who combines genuine oral surgery expertise with the precision of modern implant technology in a hospital-grade environment.
Dr. Habib Zarifeh is Head of Oral Surgery at CMC Hospital Beirut — Clemenceau Medical Center, Johns Hopkins International affiliated. He holds an MSc in Laser Dentistry from RWTH Aachen University, Germany, and an MS in Oral Surgery. As founder of Smile Infinity® across 12 countries and inventor of the One Day Implant® protocol, he has placed thousands of implants across every level of complexity over more than 20 years.
His One Day Implant® protocol uses laser-assisted flapless surgery, no incisions, no sutures, with the implant and crown completed in a single visit for qualifying cases.
Whether you need a single tooth replaced, a full mouth rebuilt, or bone grafting before an implant can be placed — this is where you start.
Beirut is a city where patients are sophisticated and expectations are high. They have seen other clinics. When they choose Dr. Zarifeh, it is because they want surgical care in a hospital-grade, internationally affiliated environment — CMC Hospital Beirut, Johns Hopkins International affiliated, with hospital-grade infection control and a complete CAD/CAM digital workflow on site.
Modern implant dentistry is as much about planning as it is about surgery. At Dr. Habib Zarifeh's Beirut practice, every case runs through a fully digital workflow — from the first scan to the final crown — so the implant is positioned with precision and the visit is as efficient as possible for travelling patients.
A 3D intraoral camera captures a precise digital model of your mouth in minutes — no uncomfortable putty impressions, and a far more accurate starting point for treatment.
A 3D CBCT scan maps your bone volume, nerves and sinuses, so the position of every implant is planned in software before surgery — improving both safety and predictability.
An on-site CAD/CAM workflow designs and produces your restoration digitally, allowing crowns to be completed in a single session for qualifying cases — fewer trips for international patients.
From the digital plan, a 3D printer produces a surgical guide that places each implant exactly as planned — guided, minimally invasive surgery with less trauma and faster healing.
This digital workflow is what powers Dr. Habib Zarifeh's One Day Implant® protocol — laser-assisted, guided, flapless surgery with the implant and crown completed in a single visit for qualifying cases. Dr. Habib Zarifeh is International Cosmetic Dentist & Dental Implants Surgeon, Head of Oral Surgery at CMC Hospital Beirut (Johns Hopkins International affiliated, JCI accredited), MSc Laser Dentistry, RWTH Aachen Germany, and Founder of Smile Infinity Medical Centers across 12 countries.

The practice was co-founded in 1999 by Dr. Habib Zarifeh and Dr. Maya Zeidan.
Many cases can be completed efficiently for travelling patients. Dr. Habib Zarifeh developed the One Day Implant® protocol, and immediate-load and All-on-4 / All-on-6 options allow some patients to leave with a fixed set of teeth in a single visit. The exact number of trips depends on your bone condition and the treatment plan, which is agreed in writing before you travel.
The clinic uses a fully digital workflow: a 3D intraoral scanner captures your mouth without putty impressions, a CBCT 3D scan maps bone and nerves for planning, CAD/CAM produces restorations in-session for qualifying cases, and a 3D printer creates a surgical guide so each implant is placed exactly as planned — combined with Dr. Habib Zarifeh's laser-assisted One Day Implant® protocol.
Treatment is delivered to hospital-grade standards. Dr. Habib Zarifeh is Head of Oral Surgery at CMC Hospital Beirut (Johns Hopkins International affiliated, JCI accredited), the clinic is ISO 9001 certified, and general anaesthesia is available when a case requires it. Surgery and sterilisation follow strict medical protocols.
In many cases, yes. Dr. Habib Zarifeh uses Erbium-laser-assisted surgery with a protocol that can often avoid stopping anticoagulant medication, which makes treatment more accessible for cardiac and diabetic patients. Suitability is always confirmed during a medical assessment before surgery.
The cost depends on the number of implants, the type of restoration (single, bridge, or full-arch All-on-4 / All-on-6), and whether bone grafting or a sinus lift is needed. Rather than a generic figure, the team prepares a personalised quote for your specific case — send your details or a panoramic X-ray on WhatsApp for an individual estimate.
Yes. The International Patient Office coordinates your visit end to end — flight and hotel guidance, airport pick-up, clinic transfers, and a treatment plan agreed before arrival. Consultations are available in Arabic, English and French.
