All-on-4 Cost and Financing

While the many important benefits of dental implants are no secret, some candidates may hesitate to seriously consider treatment due to the cost. Although every patient's unique needs dictate how much treatment will cost, it is generally more affordable than restoring your smile with traditional implants because:

  • It requires fewer implants
  • It usually requires only one surgery
  • It can allow you to undergo placement without preliminary dental bone grafting
  • Third-Party Financing

    While some insurance plans will pay for parts of the treatment, All-on-4 implants are rarely completely covered. However, you can reduce your initial out-of-pocket expenses with affordable financing plans through CareCredit and Citi Health Card financing.

  • Credit Cards

    Our Charlotte practice also accepts payment plans through third-party lenders. If your own line of credit is more economical or accessible than other financing options, then you are welcome to use your own line of credit.

A Long-Term Investment

Implants are a great long-term investment. Patients will save on:

  • Maintenance

    With All-on-4, your dentures will rarely, if ever, require adjustments to maintain a secure fit. Those adjustments aren't free, and the ongoing cost can add up over time.

  • Time

    Adjustments also require time spent traveling to and from your dentist's office and appointment times. With All-on-4, you can virtually eliminate this inconvenience.

  • Medical Expenses

    Because your implant-supported restoration will allow you to eat a balanced and nutritious diet, you are likely to experience better overall health.

Estimate Your Cost

Because you have unique dental needs and no two treatments are exactly alike, the best way to get an idea of how much you can expect to pay for All-on-4 is to meet with our dentists during a private consultation. Your dentist will perform a detailed examination of your bite to determine your candidacy for treatment, and listen as you explain what you hope to achieve. Together, you can decide whether All-on-4 is the best way to rehabilitate your smile, and you can receive an estimated cost of treatment based on this conversation.

Don't continue suffering with an incomplete smile.

The Advantages of All-on-4 Implants

/

Implant-supported dentures often require six or even eight dental implant posts. In contrast, our dentist in Charlotte, NC, only needs to place four implants using this tooth-replacement method. Two are placed at an angle to maximize the surface area.

4 Implants Are All You Need

If you are missing most or all of your natural teeth on either arch, this treatment can completely restore your bite with a denture that will stay firmly in place at all times thanks to four strategically placed dental implants.

All-on-4 can be especially beneficial to those who would otherwise need a bone graft before receiving an implant-supported denture but desire a faster and more cost-effective solution.

We Use Cutting-Edge Technology 
for Superior Results

At Advanced Dentistry of Blakeney, serving Charlotte, Ballantyne, and nearby areas, we use advanced dental technology to ensure the most successful implant results possible.

For example, Dr. Pinnix and Dr. Betancourt can utilize our CAD/CAM system to take digital impressions and create 3D images of your smile. These images allow for more precise planning and conservative treatment. We can also take digital X-rays to accurately visualize the supporting structures of your smile while designing your implant treatment plan.

Comparing All-on-4 With Traditional Implants

Patients do not have to compromise the quality of their results if they are unable to get traditional dental implants. All-on-4 treatment is highly effective when performed by an experienced oral implantologist such as Dr. Pinnix or Dr. Betancourt.

Approximately 94% of All-on-4 cases are still successful 10 years after placement

Are You a Good Candidate?

  • Complete Tooth Loss

    Our doctors will always try to save any remaining teeth if possible. However, there are cases in which removing and replacing all the teeth on a dental arch is the best option to restore your health.

  • Jawbone Atrophy

    This method is especially helpful for patients who have experienced tissue loss in their jaw – a natural side effect of missing teeth. This technique can help you avoid the need for a bone grafting procedure.

  • Otherwise Good Oral Health

    Certain oral health issues, such as gum disease, can interfere with the success of your implants. Our Charlotte dentists can recommend additional dental treatments to restore candidacy.

  • When Another Option Fits Better

    All-on-4 implants are specifically designed to replace an entire upper or lower arch of teeth. We do not recommend this type of dental implant for patients missing a single tooth or those who have retained the majority of their natural teeth. If you have less extensive tooth loss, an implant-supported crown or bridge may be a more effective solution than a full arch denture. When you arrive at our practice for your consultation, we will help you determine if traditional implants or All-on-4 implants are better for you.

New Teeth in Just One Day

Once you and your dentist have determined this method of tooth replacement is right for you, the procedure can be completed in a single visit. Here is what you can expect when you arrive at our Charlotte, NC, dental office on the day of your surgery.

Anesthesia

For your comfort, we will apply local anesthesia to the treatment area. Dental sedation is available to help particularly anxious patients stay relaxed during treatment. 

Implant Placement

The four titanium implants will be strategically placed in the jawbone in predetermined locations based on your X-rays.

Denture Placement

Temporary teeth will be attached to the implants, providing immediately restored function and comfort. We will provide instructions on how to care for your restoration.

Permanent Teeth

Once the dental implants have completely integrated with the jaw, around four to six months later, you will return to the dentist's office to have your permanent denture attached.
