All on 4 dental implants cost: what the price covers
An All-on-4 style treatment replaces a whole arch of teeth with a fixed bridge held by four implants, and the price is usually quoted per arch. Our range of $14,700–$31,900 per arch is built from the parts: four implant posts at the fee-survey rate, about $11,600 together, plus the fixed bridge itself.[1][4] "All-on-4" is a trade name for one technique; offices also use five or six implants, and the codes are the same.
| Item | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
Four implant posts D6010 × 4 | $7,600 | $11,600 | $16,000 |
Fixed full-arch bridge D6114/D6115 | $7,100 | $11,300 | $15,900 |
| One arch, total | $14,700 | $22,900 | $31,900 |
| Full mouth (both arches) | $29,400 | $45,800 | $63,800 |
The bridge fee comes from the VA's 2026 schedule of reasonable dental charges, which puts the 80th-percentile U.S. charge for a fixed full-arch implant bridge (D6114 upper, D6115 lower) at about $13,755 per arch, based on FAIR Health dental data.[2] We scale it to low, typical and high fees the same way our other sourced dental codes compare with the VA charge (see the methodology). No public survey reports a single all-in All-on-4 price, so the total is the sum of the coded parts. One university study gives a sense of the spread: zirconia full-arch bridges cost about $7,829 more to make than metal-acrylic ones.[3] Extractions of the remaining teeth, bone work, a 3D scan and sedation are usually extra.
Full mouth dental implants cost without insurance
A full mouth of fixed implant teeth, both arches, costs about $29,400–$63,800, with $45,800 typical. Replacing every tooth with its own implant would cost far more: at the typical single-implant fee of $5,750, even 10 implant teeth per arch would run past $57,500, which is why full-arch bridges on four to six implants are the usual approach.
Implants vs dentures: the cost gap
Conventional complete dentures cost a fraction of fixed implants: about $1,500–$3,300 per arch, scaled from the VA's 2026 charge of about $2,847 for an upper complete denture.[2] For reference, Washington State's Department of Corrections pays a contracted lab about $1,321 for an upper complete denture under its 2026 fee schedule, a public-payer floor rather than a retail price.[6] Patients reported a median of $800 for self-paid denture or bridge visits in 2024.[5]
| Option | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Complete dentures, upper and lower | $3,000 | $4,700 | $6,600 |
| Fixed full-arch implants, both arches | $29,400 | $45,800 | $63,800 |
Implant-retained (snap-in) overdentures sit between the two. For denture prices on their own, see dentures cost without insurance; for one or a few teeth, use the dental implants cost calculator.
Common mistakes: comparing a per-arch quote with a full-mouth quote; assuming the advertised price includes extractions, the temporary teeth worn while the implants heal, and the final bridge; and ignoring the material (acrylic vs zirconia). Ask for the total per arch, in writing, with every code.
Ways to pay less
- Get itemized written estimates from at least two offices, including temporary and final bridges; uninsured patients can request a good faith estimate.[7]
- Ask a dental school with a prosthodontics program; the ADA lists dental schools among lower-cost options.[9] See dental schools and sliding scale dentists.
- Count it as a medical expense. Dental treatment, including dentures, is deductible under IRS Publication 502 above 7.5% of income, and HSA or FSA money can pay for it.[8]
- Read financing terms closely. Deferred-interest cards charge back all interest if the balance is not cleared in time;[10] compare with the payment plan calculator.
