Dr. Shyam Bhat Specialist Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Dental Implantology

Biography

Dr. Shyam Bhat is a Specialist Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon and Implantologist based in Dubai, with more than a decade of focused experience in managing complex jaw surgery, facial trauma, and advanced dental implant rehabilitation. He is an Associate Fellow of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry and is among the select surgeons globally to hold this credential, reflecting his commitment to the highest standards of surgical care and implantology. Dr. Shyam’s core surgical practice revolves around the diagnosis and management of oral and maxillofacial trauma, including fractures of the upper and lower jaws, zygoma, and other facial bones. His training in reconstructive surgery allows him to restore both function and facial aesthetics, helping patients recover their bite, smile, and facial harmony after accidents or injury. He routinely manages complex extractions and impacted wisdom teeth, which often accompany or complicate traumatic injuries, ensuring safe, predictable outcomes even in challenging cases. Working within multidisciplinary teams in Dubai, he follows evidence-based protocols for trauma care, from emergency stabilization to definitive reconstruction and long-term follow-up. With a dedicated focus on oral implantology, Dr. Shyam specializes in full-mouth rehabilitation and complex implant cases, including patients with severe bone loss or previous failed treatments. He is experienced with leading global implant systems and routinely performs All-on-4, All-on-6, and other full-arch, same-day implant protocols to restore full function and aesthetics in a short timeframe. His surgical planning is fully digital, utilizing 3D imaging, CT-guided surgery, and custom surgical guides to place implants with high precision while minimizing discomfort and recovery time.

This digital approach enables him to offer “teeth in a day” solutions where appropriate, giving patients immediate fixed teeth and a rapid return to normal function. Beyond routine implant placement, Dr. Shyam’s expertise extends to reconstructive surgery of the upper and lower jaws, particularly for rebuilding deficient bone to support implants. He performs advanced bone augmentation procedures, sinus lifts, and ridge reconstruction to create a stable, long-lasting foundation for implant-supported prostheses. This combination of trauma surgery and reconstructive implantology allows him to treat patients with extensive defects following trauma, infection, or long-standing tooth loss, offering both structural restoration and a strong functional outcome. His surgical protocols aim to maximize long-term implant survival while preserving surrounding soft tissues and facial support. In Dubai, Dr. Shyam offers a full spectrum of oral and maxillofacial services, from routine surgical extractions to complex trauma reconstruction and full-arch implant rehabilitation, under one roof. He places strong emphasis on clear communication, detailed treatment planning, and long-term maintenance of implants and restorations, helping patients understand every step of their surgical journey. Fluent in multiple languages including English, Arabic, Hindi, Kannada and Malayalam, he is able to connect with Dubai’s multicultural patient population and provide care that is both technically advanced and culturally sensitive. For patients seeking expert management of facial trauma or comprehensive implant-based rehabilitation, Dr. Shyam offers a blend of surgical precision, digital innovation, and compassionate, patient-focused care in the heart of Dubai.
