The cost of All-on-4 Dental Implants varies, depending on:
- the skill of the practitioner performing the work
- the part of the country you live in (costs are usually higher in big cities)
- the amount of preparation, such as bone grafting, that may need to be done
- the type of materials used
There are clinics that advertise, “Dental Implants in One Day” at discounted prices, but the price may wind up being very high in the long run.
The proper placement of All-on-4 Dental Implants requires skill and follow-up care to ensure healthy and successful results.
Breaking Down the Cost of a Dental Implant
The basis of the All-on-4 Dental Implants are the four Dental Implants that hold the All-on-4s securely in place.
The average Dental Implant costs about $2450, according to the Dental Implant Cost Guide. That’s the cost of just the Dental Implant, the titanium screw that goes into the jaw. Add on the cost of the abutment, which holds the crown, and the crown itself, and the cost to replace just one tooth can average $4000. So, replacing just four teeth can cost about $16,000.
Looking at the Cost of All-on-4 Dental Implants
Each arch, upper or lower, of an All-on-4 Dental Implant has between 12 and 14 teeth. Having to replace a dozen teeth, in just the lower jaw, with individual Dental Implants, could cost somewhere between $48,000 and $56,000.
All-on-4s give you a complete set of teeth for much less. The cost of All-on-4s is between $15,000 and $24,000, or an average of $19,500 per arch. This cost is substantially lower than the placement of individual Dental Implants.
Paying for All-on-4 Dental Implants
Although Dental Implants are longer-lasting, and can be a healthier option, than dentures for replacing missing teeth, many insurance companies still consider Dental Implants a cosmetic procedure, and will not cover the cost. See our dentures vs implants post to learn more.
There are several Dental Insurance Plans that have realized the long-term advantage of Dental Implants and will cover their cost. Many insurance providers will cover the cost of tooth extraction and x-rays and will put the cost of dentures toward the cost of All-on-4 Dental Implants.
CareCredit is a company that has financing options specifically for Dental, Cosmetic and other health care procedures.
