Cost of All-on-X Dental Implants

 

As of August 2023, the starting price for All-on-X Dental Implants is $9,995.00 per arch for a “teeth-in-a-day” procedure. This treatment plan, utilizing All-on-X® dental implants, offers an alternative for individuals aiming to avoid dentures due to issues like problematic teeth, fractured caps, failing dentition, broken bridges, or tooth loss. The cost encompasses the necessary dental implant procedures, including four dental implants, their surgical placement, and a complete acrylic set of teeth for a single arch.

We’ve developed pioneering All-on-X® techniques to deliver an optimal patient experience that is both efficient and budget-friendly. In fact, our specialized All-on-X® methods result in substantial savings, reducing treatment costs by an estimated $5,000 to $15,000 per arch. This makes our treatment plan among the most cost-effective options available in the US.

All All-on-X® procedures are performed within our facility to ensure superior dental care. Unlike the common two-location approach—where separate fees from two different doctors can inflate treatment expenses—our single-location All-on-X® techniques significantly lower overall costs. The AO4 (All-on-X® dental implants) treatment is fully executed in one facility, with even the laboratory work completed in-house. This allows for a full-mouth “teeth-in-a-day” treatment providing new teeth within a single month.

We understand that healthy teeth are key to confident, joyful smiles. We’re committed to understanding your specific dental concerns and identifying the ideal treatment strategy to help you regain normal, confident smiling, eating, and speaking abilities.

Advanced Dentistry employs the All-on-X® dental implant treatment to restore patients’ smiles. To ensure comprehensive care, Advanced Dentistry dedicates numerous hours weekly to patient follow-ups, responding to emails and phone calls. We also extend various complimentary consultation services, such as reviewing mailed X-rays and conducting free dental examinations.


 

Our Approach to All-on-X®

 

While most certified All-on-X® practitioners in the dental implant field typically opt for a traditional approach involving only local anesthetic (Novocain), our state board-certified All-on-X® facility offers specialized sleep dentistry services. This allows us to provide the most effective and economical treatment plans for our patients. Our goal is to deliver faster, anxiety-free, and generally more affordable dental services. Many of the innovative All-on-X® techniques, materials, and surgical protocols have been developed by Advanced Dentistry. The majority of our All-on-X® dental implant procedures are also minimally invasive.

Additional costs may apply beyond the basic All-on-X® treatment fees, contingent on the patient’s specific needs and symptom severity. Factors like the patient’s dental system and type of dentition influence these supplementary charges. Furthermore, patients might desire a particular full-mouth permanent dental implant-supported fixed bridge for their “teeth-in-a-day” replacement.

These full-mouth fixed bridges can be crafted from materials such as zirconia, acrylic, PMMA, PEEK, or a PMMA-PEEK combination. Patients also have the option of a hybrid permanent bridge (also known as a full-mouth restoration with implants), which combines acrylic teeth on a titanium framework. Each implant material offers distinct benefits. While permanent zirconia implant-supported fixed bridges are known for their strength and longevity, hybrid permanent bridges provide control, durability, and reparability. Given some limitations of hybrid permanent bridges, zirconia implant-supported fixed bridges are currently the preferred choice.

The very nature of the “teeth-in-a-day” treatment plan, requiring fewer dental implanting procedures compared to a traditional four-dental-implant full-mouth reconstruction, makes “teeth-in-a-day” implants more economical than procedures involving four dental implants.

“Teeth-in-a-day” procedures represent a cost-effective treatment solution for various dental problems, including damaged teeth, broken caps, failing teeth, fractured bridges, and missing teeth. Additionally, individuals with ill-fitting dentures or complete tooth loss can significantly benefit from “teeth-in-a-day” procedures.

We dedicate individualized time with each patient, starting with the initial “teeth-in-a-day” consultation.

Financing and Payment Options for Teeth-In-A-Day

 

The All-on-X® dental implant treatment program offers flexible and varied patient financing options. Moreover, for treatments not covered by insurance, the program provides convenient payment terms to assist patients with deductibles.

If the initial cost of All-on-X® for “teeth-in-a-day” seems beyond your budget, we offer adjustable payment options designed to save you both time and money. You can even apply for and receive credit online within minutes, without affecting your credit score. Credit scores are no longer the primary determinant for financing dental implant surgeries. Current economic conditions allow patients to explore qualified loan offers without needing to visit a lending institution for the application process.

Our “teeth-in-a-day” with All-on-X® dental implant treatment payment plan is affiliated with various lending institutions. You can conveniently cover the cost of your upper and lower jaw full-mouth teeth replacement using their affordable fixed-rate loans, ensuring your monthly payments won’t increase. They also provide the option to prepay your loan without any penalty or fee.

The “teeth-in-a-day” dental implant financing plan allows patients to cover the entire treatment costs through a series of monthly payments.


 

Varieties of Implant Fixed Bridge Prosthesis for Full-Mouth

 

Dental implants are fabricated using materials such as acrylic, titanium, zirconia, PMMA, and/or PEEK. The specific combination chosen for the prosthesis determines its functionality and distinct advantages. Available options include:

  • Permanent hybrid fixed bridge: Features fixed acrylic teeth prosthesis over a titanium bar (which can be concealed under acrylic if desired) supported by four dental implants.
  • Permanent fixed bridge: Comprises zirconia teeth supported by a pink zirconia base, also on four dental implants.
  • Temporary hybrid bridge (for 4-10 months): An all-acrylic teeth prosthesis over a pink all-acrylic base, supported by four dental implants.
  • Hybrid prosthesis: Constructed using a combination of PMMA and PEEK.

 

Cost of Full-Mouth Set with Dental Implants for Denture Patients

 

Traditional dental implant surgeries for a complete set of teeth typically necessitate around six to eight dental implants per arch. These prostheses are recommended for individuals with missing teeth or poorly fitting dentures.

Traditional dental implant surgeries are performed separately, involving additional follow-up visits, related dental lab work and materials, and a healing period before the new implant is loaded. These factors make traditional dental implant procedures significantly more expensive, more painful, and more time-consuming. Clearly, a treatment plan with fewer dental implants offers savings in time, money, and effort.

In fact, a single arch fitting under a traditional implant treatment plan can exceed $40,000. In contrast, the “teeth-in-a-day” treatment plan offers considerable savings and reduced healing time. A single arch fitting under a “teeth-in-a-day” treatment plan costs approximately $9,995 for permanent fixtures! Furthermore, you can resume eating and drinking immediately after leaving our office.

The All-on-X® dental implant treatment plan is specifically designed to facilitate full-mouth teeth replacement, assisting individuals with compromised teeth, ill-fitting dentures, and those requiring full upper and/or lower teeth replacement. Typically, the treatment includes four dental implants and a set of new fixed dental implant-supported replacement teeth. Qualified patients often complete their treatment in a single day. The All-on-X® dental implant treatment saves time and money by replacing dentures with a permanent fixed bridge that requires fewer dental implant surgeries.


 

Will All-on-X® Be Covered by Insurance?

 

Yes, a portion of the All-on-X® dental implant procedure is typically covered by most dental insurance providers. We have experienced dental insurance claim specialists on staff who will work to secure the best possible terms with various dental insurance providers, maximizing your savings while you receive All-on-X® and “teeth-in-a-day” treatment. We accept all major PPO dental insurance policies, including Delta Dental, Metlife, Cigna, Humana, Guardian, and AETNA. In many cases, we can arrange for insurance companies to cover a portion of the treatment costs, specifically for tooth extractions associated with the All-on-X® plan.

Our billing coding specialists will also submit your insurance claim coverage paperwork to the insurance companies on your behalf. If you’re seeking a full-mouth teeth replacement with dental implants, our billing specialists will provide a detailed breakdown of charges, explaining all updated CDT (2018) dental procedural codes.

Most dental insurance plans typically contribute to a portion of the cost for adding teeth to your dental implants. Please contact our dental office and speak with our staff to learn more about your specific insurance policy coverage. Our specialists can also help you determine estimated out-of-pocket costs if you’re considering All-on-X® treatment and guide you in selecting an appropriate payment/finance plan.

Based on our experience, most dental insurance providers partially cover All-on-X® treatment costs. In such scenarios, you would simply need to process and submit the dental implant claim to their office. Unfortunately, some insurance companies still categorize dental implants as a cosmetic procedure rather than a beneficial dental surgery, and these companies will not allow you to claim the cost of the implant surgery.

Furthermore, insurance companies often take time to respond regarding coverage for “teeth-in-a-day” with All-on-X®. While most of your dental insurance queries will be addressed promptly, these specific inquiries may require a longer processing time. In certain situations, we may be able to file a medical insurance claim that could partially cover some aspects of the treatment cost.


 

What’s The Cost of Teeth-In-A-Day?

 

Our comprehensive “teeth-in-a-day” approach is designed to optimize both your time and financial investment. Our “teeth-in-a-day” with All-on-X® dental implants treatment method aims to streamline the full-mouth set of teeth replacement procedure using dental implants.

We also offer single “teeth-in-a-day” dental implants. This procedure, which includes the abutment and crown, costs approximately $2,195 per implant. The exact cost is directly influenced by the condition of your gums and jawbone.

For replacing multiple teeth simultaneously with dental implants, “teeth-in-a-day” is ideal in clinical scenarios where a patient’s lower and/or upper teeth are replaced at once through the placement of a permanent bridge and dental implants.


 

Comparing Cost Structures: Traditional All-on-4 vs. Our Approach

 

Traditional All-on-X® centers typically only account for inclusive fees and the cost of Conscious IV Sedation, with all other services charged additionally.

Our single-location office, however, delivers top-tier services at highly competitive rates. In addition to inclusive fees and the cost of Conscious IV Sedation, our office provides several uncharged benefits, such as:

  • A single certified All-on-X® dentist manages the entire case at our facility, as the medical equipment, lab, and dentist are all co-located.
  • A reasonable fee structure that allows our patients to save anywhere from $6,000 to $10,000 per arch.
  • Availability of both General Anesthesia and IV Conscious Sedation at our facility.
  • Acceptance and submission of all major insurance claims on your behalf to minimize your out-of-pocket expenses.
  • Personalized one-on-one consultation and care from doctor to patient.
  • A complimentary 1-hour consultation with the doctor, which includes a 3D CBCT Scan and necessary X-rays.
  • Computerized Implant Guided Surgery, leading to minimal surgical scarring, enhanced surgical accuracy, and optimal aesthetic results.

 

Doctors Who Perform All-on-X®

 

Implant-focused dentists continuously introduce new solutions to improve the immediate functionality of implants, thereby enhancing patients’ quality of life. Experienced dentists place a fixed “teeth-in-a-day” permanent bridge prosthesis to provide patients with newfound comfort and security. This bridge prosthesis is securely held in place by four dental implants. Patients receive a permanent solution to their problem, bypassing the need for conventional removable dentures, preserving their jawbone, and avoiding bone grafts and sinus lifts.

Patients regain the lost functionality of natural teeth almost immediately after implant placement. This procedure allows patients to resolve their daily frustration and discomfort caused by loose and broken teeth, enabling them to enjoy a restriction-free diet.

If you are experiencing failing dental crowns and bridges, gum disease, tooth decay, or jawbone loss, traditional dental implants may not be sufficient. The All-on-4® dental implant procedure will be highly effective for you. Our All-on-X® dental professionals will discuss your treatment options during your complimentary consultation.
