Prices checked October 22, 2026. By Lorenzo Beux.

Short answer: All-on-4 dental implants cost $14,720 to $38,610 per arch in the US, with a national average of $22,590. Most cases land between $20,000 and $30,000 per arch. Both arches cost about twice as much, or roughly $45,180 at the national average.

Dental savings plans are not insurance. A plan gives you discounts only at participating dentists. It does not pay the dentist for you, and you pay for all services at the discounted rate. Prices, discounts and dentists vary by plan and ZIP code.

All-on-4 prices at a glance

All-on-4 means a full arch of fixed teeth held by four implants. Some clinics use five or six. The bridge stays in your mouth; you do not take it out at night.

Per arch vs full mouth

Prices are almost always quoted per arch. Pearl says one arch costs roughly half of a full mouth. Using Pearl’s numbers, both arches run about $29,440 to $77,220, or $45,180 at the average. Dentaly says traditional full-mouth implants start at $40,000.

What the price usually includes

Pearl lists these items as usually included in an All-on-4 quote:

  • 3D CBCT scan and surgical planning
  • Tooth extractions, if needed
  • Four implants per arch
  • A same-day temporary set of teeth
  • IV sedation or general anesthesia
  • Several follow-up visits
  • The final permanent bridge, placed after 3 to 6 months of healing

These are often billed separately:

  • Bone grafting or a sinus lift: $1,500 to $5,000 or more per site, according to Pearl
  • Replacing a broken or worn bridge after the warranty ends
  • Repairing a failed implant
  • Ongoing cleaning visits and special cleaning tools

Always ask for the quote in writing with each item listed. Two quotes with the same total can cover very different things.

What raises or lowers the price

  • Where you live: Pearl says major metro areas often cost 40% to 80% more than smaller markets.
  • Bone loss: grafts and sinus lifts add cost and healing time.
  • Sedation and scans: most packages include them, but some clinics bill them separately.
  • Number of implants: some clinics use four to six per arch; ask how many your quote includes.
  • Warranty and follow-up: some packages include longer warranties or more visits.

Pearl also notes that treatment abroad can cut costs by 50% to 70%. It carries other risks, such as follow-up care far from home.

All-on-4 vs dentures

OptionTypical price per archFixed or removable
Regular full denture$1,360–$3,565, average $2,085Removable
Implant-supported (snap-on) denture$7,628–$13,297, average $8,289Removable, clips onto implants
All-on-4 fixed bridge$14,720–$38,610, average $22,590Fixed

A regular denture is by far the cheapest. Pearl says it often lasts 5 to 7 years and needs relines every 1 to 2 years as the gums change. Snap-on dentures sit in the middle on price and stay put better. All-on-4 stays fixed in place but costs the most. See our dentures cost guide and dental implants cost guide for details.

Does dental insurance help?

Only a little. Pearl says many plans cover part of the extractions and basic prosthesis, around $1,500 to $2,000. Implants themselves are often partly or fully excluded.

  • Coverage level: implants count as major work, usually paid at 50% when covered.
  • Yearly maximum: 48.2% of plans cap benefits at $1,500 to $2,500 a year. That is a small slice of a $22,590 arch.
  • Waiting period: major work often has a 6 or 12 month wait.
  • Medicare: Original Medicare does not cover implants or dentures. See Medicare and dental care.

Some implant chains have offered a set discount if you show proof of insurance. Ask the clinic directly. Read more in our dental insurance guide.

With a dental savings plan

Savings plans rarely list a full-arch fee, but they do discount implant work. On DentalPlans.com, Careington Care 500 lists 20% off implant codes. It also says procedures not on its fee list get 20% off the dentist’s normal fee. Aetna Dental Access lists one implant post at $2,348 usual and $1,531 with the plan.

Ask a participating dentist how the plan applies to a full-arch case before you join. Compare options in our best dental savings plans guide.

Worked example: one upper arch

Say your upper arch is quoted at the national average of $22,590. You also need one sinus lift at Pearl’s average of $2,260. The total is $24,850.

  • No coverage: you pay $24,850.
  • Insurance with a $2,000 yearly maximum: the plan pays at most $2,000. You pay $22,850 or more.
  • Savings plan at 20% off: $24,850 minus $4,970 is $19,880. Add $204.95 for a Careington Care 500 year, and you pay $20,084.95.

These are illustrations. Your quote depends on your mouth, your dentist and your ZIP code.

How to pay less for All-on-4

  • Get at least three written quotes with the same items listed.
  • Ask what the warranty covers and for how long.
  • Compare with snap-on dentures, which often cost less than half as much.
  • Try a dental school. Residency programs handle complex cases, often at reduced fees.
  • Ask for the cash price and any discount for paying upfront.
  • Spread the cost carefully. In-office plans, medical credit cards and personal loans all exist. Read our implant financing guide first.
  • Use pre-tax money. The IRS counts artificial teeth as a medical expense, so HSA or FSA funds may help.

Questions to ask at your consultation

  • Is the price per arch or for both arches?
  • How many implants will you place, and what is the final bridge made of?
  • Are the scan, extractions, sedation and temporary teeth included?
  • Will I need a bone graft or sinus lift, and what will it cost?
  • What does the warranty cover, and for how many years?
  • How many follow-up visits are included?
  • What would snap-on dentures cost for comparison?

If teeth must come out first, our tooth extraction cost guide shows typical fees. To weigh coverage choices, see savings plan vs insurance.

When to see a dentist

See a dentist if many teeth are loose, broken or missing, or if you have pain, swelling or bleeding gums. A dentist will check your bone and gum health before suggesting All-on-4, dentures or another option.

Frequently asked questions

Is All-on-4 priced per arch or per mouth?

Per arch, almost always. A full mouth means two arches, so expect roughly double the per-arch price.

How long does treatment take?

You usually leave surgery day with temporary teeth. The final bridge goes on after 3 to 6 months of healing.

Why is one clinic so much cheaper?

Check what is left out. The scan, extractions, sedation, temporary teeth or final bridge may be priced separately. The bridge material may also differ.

Can I trade in my current dentures?

Some implant chains have run denture trade-in discounts. Offers change often, so ask the clinic what is available now.

Does Medicare pay for All-on-4?

Original Medicare does not cover implants or dentures. Some Medicare Advantage plans include dental benefits, but limits vary by plan.

Is All-on-4 worth the extra cost over dentures?

It depends on your budget, bone and comfort. Fixed teeth do not slip, but cost about ten times a regular denture. Ask your dentist to price both.
