How Much Do All-on-4 Dental Implants Cost?

If you are considering All-on-4 dental implants, cost is probably one of your biggest questions. There is no single price because every case is a little different, but All-on-4 treatment typically costs about $11,600 to $27,500 for one arch, with a national average of about $15,176. If you need both the upper and lower teeth replaced, the total cost will be higher.

What are All-on-4 dental implants?

All-on-4 is a way to replace a full row of missing or failing teeth using four dental implants. Instead of placing an implant for every missing tooth, four implants support a full set of fixed teeth on the upper or lower jaw. For someone who needs to replace most or all of their teeth, this can mean fewer implants and fewer procedures than replacing teeth individually.

Why is there such a big range in price?

The cost depends on what you need before, during, and after implant placement. Someone who is ready for implants may have a very different treatment plan from someone who needs several teeth removed first. The materials used for your final teeth also affect the price, as do the experience of the dentist or surgeon and the cost of dental care where you live.

Is the price for one arch or my whole mouth?

All-on-4 prices are usually quoted per arch. One arch means either all of your upper teeth or all of your lower teeth. If you need both arches treated, you are essentially having two All-on-4 procedures. Current estimates put a two-arch case at roughly $24,000 to $55,000, depending on the treatment and materials involved.

What else can add to the cost?

Tooth extractions, bone grafting, sedation, imaging, and other procedures may add to the total. Some patients need very little additional treatment, while others need more work before implants can be placed. You may also receive temporary teeth while the implants heal before your final teeth are made. When comparing prices, ask what is actually included so you are not comparing one office’s complete treatment price with another office’s starting price.

Does dental insurance cover All-on-4 implants?

It depends on your plan. Some dental insurance policies may cover part of the treatment, while others provide little or no implant coverage. Even when implants are covered, annual maximums can limit how much the plan pays. Your dental office can review your benefits and give you a better idea of what your out-of-pocket cost may be.

Are there payment options?

Because All-on-4 treatment is a larger expense, many dental offices offer financing or payment options. Depending on the practice, you may be able to divide the cost into monthly payments rather than paying the entire amount at once. Ask about financing when you receive your treatment estimate so you know what options are available.

How do I find out what All-on-4 will cost for me?

The only way to get an accurate price is to have an implant consultation. Your dentist will need to examine your mouth, take imaging, and determine whether you need extractions or any other treatment before implants are placed.
