Cost of All-On-4® Dental Implants

Many patients get dentures for bad or failing teeth, broken caps or broken bridges, or missing teeth. But recently, thanks to relatively new technology and techniques, the teeth-in-a-day with All-on-4® dental implants is available as a treatment plan for patients who don’t want dentures.

This treatment plan covers the cost of the dental implant procedure, including four dental implants, as well as the surgical placement, and an all-acrylic set of teeth for one arch.

The cost of teeth-in-a-day with All-on-4® dental implants starts at $10,950 per arch.

Dr. Darian Kaar uses All-on-4® dental implants treatment to help enhance his patients’ life by giving them their confident smiles back.

Dr. Kaar’s All-on-4® pioneering techniques are efficient and affordable. It can save the patient from $5,000 up to about $15,000 per arch, making it the most affordable treatment plan in the country.

Furthermore, to reduce the stress on the patient as well as provide the best dental care to our patients, the All-on-4® procedures are all performed in one single location at our office or facility. Even the lab work is done in-house. For one full month, the All-on-4® provides the full mouth of teeth-in-a-day treatment.

Additionally, a single-location costs less for the patient when compared to the two-location approach in which two doctors are involved resulting in two separate charged fees.

Sleep Dentistry

Most certified All-on-4® clinics use traditional pain management through local anesthetic, by administering Novocain, during dental implant procedure.

However, our state board certified All-on-4® facility offers special sleep dentistry services. This ensures the most economical treatment plan for our patients.

Sleep dentistry also provides the best possible care for our patients during dental implant surgery.

• Designed by Dr. Kaar himself with the patient in mind

Several of the pioneering All-on-4® techniques, materials, and surgical protocols have been designed by Dr. Darian Kaar DDS, MSD, FACP.

Most of these dental implant techniques are designed to be as minimally invasive as possible.

• Additional charges are levied alongside the basic cost of the treatment

Depending on the patient’s requirements and severity of symptoms, additional charges are levied alongside the basic cost of the All-on-4® treatment.

Factors that may affect additional costs:

1. The system and type of dentition of the patient.
2. The patient may want a specific full mouth permanent dental implant-supported fixed bridge for his/her teeth-in-a-day replacement.

• High-quality materials

• Full mouth fixed bridges are made using zirconia, acrylic, PMMA, PEEK, or a PMMA-PEEK combination. A patient can also get a hybrid permanent bridge, also known as a full mouth restoration with implants, made from a combination of acrylic teeth over a titanium framework.

Each implant has a specific advantage. For strength and durability, permanent zirconia implant-supported fixed bridges are used. For control, durability, and repairability, the hybrid permanent bridges are used.

Hybrid permanent bridges have few shortcomings. So permanent zirconia implant-supported fixed bridges are the preferred implants these days.

• Cost efficient procedures

The teeth-in-a-day implants cost less than 4 dental implants because of the fact that teeth-in-a-day treatment plan involves fewer dental implant procedures compared to the traditional 4 dental implants full mouth restoration procedure.

This makes the teeth-in-a-day the most cost-effective treatment plan to fix bad teeth, broken caps, failing teeth, broken bridges, and missing teeth.

People with loose-fitting dentures or those who have no teeth can also benefit from teeth-in-a-day procedures.

Why Is The All-on-4® 3D Cone Beam Scan Important?

For effective diagnosis, the 3D Cone Beam dental imaging system is used. It provides a quick and precise dental image.

The 3D Cone Beam x-ray scan includes the following:

• An 8 and 23 second scan sufficient for an All-on-4® treatment.
• Low radiation CT scans for a safer diagnosis.
• Accessible information that enables the patient to make informed decisions like opting for the teeth-in-a-day treatment.

Our office is currently offering the 3D Cone Beam imaging for dental implant patients in-house. Come visit us for an advanced and patient-friendly 3D scan today.

Time Of Recovery Following an All-on-4® Dental Implant Procedure

For maximum surgical precision, the teeth-in-a-day and dental implant surgery are mostly performed using advanced computerized treatment software. Furthermore, because this procedure is mostly atraumatic, recovery time is significantly reduced.

What To Eat After All-on-4® Surgery

Patients of All-on-4® surgery can start eating on the same day of the surgery. However, for the first couple of days after the surgery, it is advised to eat softer foods such as yogurt, soup, pudding, ice cream, or gelatin. This diet will ensure that food particles are not lodged in the surgical wound.

The patient can introduce semi-liquid foods like eggs, soft pasta, or mashed potatoes from on the third day.

After the first week, the patient can resume a semi-normal diet.

Avoid drinking alcoholic beverages during the first two weeks post-surgery.

Do not eat hard and crunchy food such as nuts, chips, and popcorn for four weeks after surgery.

Do not smoke for at least three weeks before the surgery and for at least four month after the surgery.

Be mindful of what you eat. Avoid hot or spicy food, or anything that contains seeds and grains such as poppy, sesame, rice, or quinoa. These can get under your All-on-4® bridge.

Strict adherence to the dietary recommendations is advised, especially while your surgical wound is still healing.

Financing And Payment Options For Teeth-In-A-Day

For a variety of financing options, we offer the All-on-4® dental implant treatment program. And if the treatment is not covered by the patient’s insurance, the program offers easier terms of payment so the patient can cover the deductible amounts.

We also have an adjustable payment option that will save you both time and money, if the cost of the All-on-4® for teeth-in-a-day is completely out of budget. You can apply and receive credit online in a matter of minutes without any impact on your credit score.

Nowadays, credit scores no longer play a significant role in applying for financing your dental implant surgery. Also, you no longer have to visit a lending facility to complete a loan application.

Our teeth-in-a-day with All-on-4® dental implant treatment payment plan is associated with various lending companies. There are affordable fixed-rate loans available for your upper and lower jaw full mouth teeth replacement. There are also payment options in which you can repay your loan without any prepayment penalty or fee. The teeth-in-a-day dental implant financing plan enables patients to cover entire treatment costs in a series of monthly payments.

Implant Fixed Bridge Prosthesis For Full Mouth

Dental implants are made using zirconia, titanium, acrylic, PMMA, PEEK, or PMMA/PEEK combination.

The combination used for a custom prosthesis offers different functionality and unique advantages.

The different varieties of implant fixed bridge prosthesis for full mouth include the following:

• Permanent hybrid fixed bridge: fixed acrylic teeth prosthesis over a titanium bar, which can be hidden under acrylic if so desired, on 4 dental implants.
• Permanent fixed bridge: zirconia teeth supported over a pink zirconia base on 4 dental implants.
• Temporary hybrid bridge for 4-10 month: all acrylic teeth over a pink all-acrylic base on 4 dental implants.
• Hybrid prosthesis made using PMMA and PEEK

Durability And Success Rate Of All-on-4® Lower And Upper Implants

The All-on-4® treatment prosthesis offers a proven long term solution to dental ailments. It is durable and offers up to 10 years follow-ups in the mandible and 5 years follow ups in the maxilla. The procedure survival rate of this treatment plan is high.

A clinical study published in the Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research in October 2014 illustrated the high survival rate capabilities of patients with immediately loaded implants supporting fixed complete upper jaw all-acrylic prosthesis. In it, they examined and noted the survival rates of two hundred forty two patients with 968 immediately loaded implants. It showed a survival rate of 93%at the patient level, and a high survival rate of 98% at the implant level after a 5-year follow-up.

Scientific evidence further indicates the high survival rate of 96.3% to 100% in both maxilla, the upper jaw, and mandible, the lower jaw, implants observed after 3 to 4 years. And a long term survival rate of 94.8% to 98% is observed after 5 to 10 years.

The study emphasized the rehabilitative advantages of the All-on-4®’s treatment option for four fixed implants in the upper jaw. The patient’s bone quality and the length of implants were also considered.

Dr. P. Malo is the creator of the All-on-4® concept. He notes the bridge survival rate in the lower jaw to be around 99.2% after a 10-year follow-up. And the bridge survival rate in the upper jaw after a 5-year follow-up remains 100%. These rates apply to the bridge over implants fixed bridge prosthesis.

Cost Of Full Mouth Set With Dental Implants For Denture Patients

For a full set of teeth, traditional dental implant surgeries require around six to eight dental implants per arch. These prostheses are recommended if the patient is missing teeth or their dentures don’t fit very well.

Traditional dental implant surgeries are performed separately. Additionally, follow-up visits and dental lab work and materials are to be expected. Also, there is a healing time between dental implant surgery and loading of the new implant.

All of these factors make traditional dental implant surgery more painful, time-consuming, and expensive. The fewer treatment requirements, the more you save time, money, and effort.

The teeth-in-a-day treatment plan saves the patient money and reduces healing time making the experience better and less stressful. Additionally, the patient can resume eating food and drinking as soon as you leave the dentist’s office.

As a comparison of cost, one single arch fitting under a traditional implant treatment plan may cost at least $40,000. And one single arch fitting under a teeth-in-a-day treatment plan may cost about $10,950 for permanent fixtures.

The All-on-4® dental implant treatment plan is specifically designed to facilitate a full mouth set of teeth replacement treatment. This will help people with bad teeth, ill-fitting dentures, and those who need full mouth upper and/or lower teeth replacement.

The treatment usually covers four dental implants and a set of new fixed dental implant-supported replacement teeth. For qualified patients, the treatment is done in a single day.

The All-on-4® dental implant treatment saves time and money by replacing dentures with a permanent fixed bridge which doesn’t require many dental implant surgeries.

Cost Of Teeth-In-A-Day

We have designed the all-inclusive teeth-in-a-day approach to save our patients time and money. The teeth-in-a-day with All-on-4® dental implants treatment plan is designed to streamline the full mouth set of teeth replacement using dental implant techniques.

We also perform single teeth-in-a-day dental implants. This procedure, including the abutment and crown, will cost you about $1,895 per implant. Most of the time, the cost is directly related to the condition of your gums and jaw bone.

To replace multiple teeth simultaneously by dental implants, teeth-in-a-day uses ideal clinical situations where the patient’s lower and/or upper teeth are replaced at once by setting up a permanent bridge and dental implants.

Cost Of Dental Implant

As of June 2019, the dental implant cost for a single tooth is about $1,850. It includes the custom abutment, the dental implant cap, and the dental implant crown.

The custom abutment screws the dental implant in place. The dental implant cap cements atop the abutment to heal the jaw bone.

Other procedures such as bone grafting, gum soft tissue treatment, and/or extraction might be required to mend the condition of the gums and jaw bone. These are not included in the $1,850 bill for single dental implant placement.

The procedure for dental implants is similar for all patients. However, each patient undergoing custom dental implants is unique. There are no two patient implants that are similar. These dental implants are designed for your teeth and gums, unlike other tooth replacement options. And because dental implants are unique to a patient, the number of follow-up appointments, procedures, and cost of dental implants may be different from one patient to another. The cost may change based on the treatment site and the condition of dentition.

A detailed analysis shows that the cost of dental implants compares favorably to other tooth replacement options. Dental implants offer a permanent solution to your dental health. Other teeth replacement treatment plans come with recurring costs even after the initial upfront cost, making it cost more in the long run. You will find yourself paying over and over again over the years. Therefore, dental implants would be an economically better option.

Does Insurance Cover All-on-4®?

We accept major PPO dental insurance policies such as Delta Dental, Metlife, Cigna, Humana, Guardian, and AETNA.

Most dental insurance providers cover a portion of the treatment costs. For instance, the teeth extractions as part of the All-on-4® treatment plan is usually paid for by the insurance companies. Also, a portion of the All-on-4® dental implant procedure is covered by most dental insurance providers. And the majority of dental insurance plans cover a portion of the bill when adding teeth to your dental implants.

Our office has skilled and experienced personnel dedicated to helping our patients maximize their savings for their All-on-4® and teeth-in-a-day treatment. They are the dental insurance claim specialists who will negotiate the best deals with the most of the dental insurance providers.

We also have billing coding specialists who will submit your insurance claim to the insurance companies for you. They do the insurance coverage paperwork on your behalf.

If you have come for a full mouth teeth replacement with dental implants, the billing specialists will sit down with you and explain all the updated dental procedural codes as well as a detailed breakdown of the charges. They are there to help you understand the insurance coverage and answer all your billing questions.

Please call our office and speak with our staff to learn more about what is covered under your insurance policy. Our billing specialists will help you determine an out-of-pocket estimate for an All-on-4® treatment. They will also guide you through the payment options available to you, as well as help you choose the appropriate payment/finance plan to pay for your treatment.

As noted above, most dental insurance providers cover a part of the All-on-4® treatment costs. In such cases, we just need to process the dental implant claim. However, a few insurance companies classify dental implants as a cosmetic procedure, as opposed to a beneficial dental surgery. These are the companies that do not cover the cost of the implant surgery.

Moreover, some insurance companies take a long time in responding to inquiries about dental insurance coverage for teeth-in-a-day with All-on-4® treatment. In these situations, our office may file for a medical insurance claim that could partially cover the cost of some aspects of the treatment.

If this is confusing to read, please do not hesitate to call our office and speak with a billing specialist. They will help clarify some questions you might have about your dental coverage.

Out-Of-State Travelers Opting For Teeth-In-A-Day

Our teeth-in-a-day with All-on-4® treatment is administered only in our Dallas office. We are conveniently located 15 miles from Dallas Love Field Airport and DFW International Airport. We are within walking distance of ten prime hotels.Treatment at one single location saves our patients anywhere from $5,000 to $15,000 per arch for the All-on-4® procedure.

If you are coming from another state, or in-state but traveling far to Dallas, we suggest that you call our office first before traveling to Dallas for your All-on-4® complimentary consultation. On this phone call, we will first hear your dentition story and dental woes. We may ask you to send your CT scan and/or your panoramic radiograph to our office so Dr. Kaar can review them thoroughly. This initial phone call is important because you are coming from out-of-state, we want to be completely efficient with your time, effort, and resources, especially that you are coming from out-of-state.

A lot of out-of-state patients fly in to get the teeth-in-a-day with All-on-4® treatment. It is important to take some time in planning before taking the trip to reduce cost and be efficient with your time. Each patient presents a unique dental case and Dr. Kaar personally reviews each case. Your patience is much appreciated.

The Difference Between The Costing Charts Of Traditional All-on-4® Centers And Our Office

Traditional All-on-4® centers provide the cost for the inclusive fees and the Conscious IV Sedation. All other services are charged separately. The patient ends up with more costs to pay for than what they initially expected.

On the other hand, our single location office provides the best services at the most affordable rate. Our cost include inclusive fees and the cost of Conscious IV Sedation, and additional uncharged benefits such as the following:

* Single-location facility means only one certified All-on-4® dentist handles the entire patient case because the medical equipment, the lab, and the dentist are all in one location.

* Reasonable fee structure with which our patients save anywhere from $6,000 to $10,000 per arch.

* General anesthesia and Conscious IV Sedation are available at our facility.

* All major insurance claims are processed and submitted on your behalf to minimize your out-of-pocket bill.

* One-on-one personalized doctor-to-patient consultation and care.

* Complimentary 1-hour consultation with the doctor that includes a 3D CBCT Scan and the necessary X-rays.

* Computerized Implant Guided Surgery, which leads to minimal surgical scarring, better surgical accuracy, and optimal aesthetic outcome.

Are You A Good Candidate For Teeth-In-A-Day With Fit All-on-4®?

The primary requirement for a good candidate for All-on-4® for teeth-in-a-day treatment is having a healthy jawbone structure.

Proper jawbone structure allows the dental implants to adhere. If the jawbone doesn’t have sufficient volume and bone density, the four implants won’t hold out to everyday activities such as chewing food.

To ensure patient oral health, the implants are not loaded with the permanent bridge on the same day. Over 90% of the time, bone grafting and sinus lifts are not necessary if the implants settle strongly and comfortably on the bone.

However, sometimes a dental implant angle correction is performed on the fitted implant to precisely fit the implant. Then, accurate bridge placement is done for prosthetic teeth delivery.

How Do Dentists Repair All-on-4®?

Your teeth-in-a-day with All-on-4® implants are not invulnerable to sudden or gradual damage. Teeth-in-a-day naturally wears down in 5-6 years. However, damage is multiplied when patients consistently bite on hard foods or things.

If your fixed bridge breaks, it causes discomfort and irritation to the gums, lips, cheeks, and tongue. When this happens, seek immediate care to prevent a broken and fractured All-on-4® bridge to prevent more damage to the titanium bar.

If left untreated, damage to a permanent bridge may lead to an extensive and expensive repair. Moreover, the irritation and pain will exert more stress on specific areas which can lead to even more damage.

To repair such damage, an “all-on-four revision” or “dental implant hybrid revision” is performed. Our office carries out a same-day in-house repair that will restore your bridge to a functional state immediately.

To make the implants sturdier, materials such as zirconia are used to customize your prosthesis.

What’s The Experience Of Patients After All-on-4® Teeth-In-A-Day?

Falling teeth, failing caps, or broken dental bridges can have physiological as well as psychological impact on a person’s life. Besides the pain and discomfort, emotional stress is high and self esteem is low when you have teeth problems.

With our teeth-in-a-day treatment plan, we aim to bring back the smile in people’s lives. Our patients have shed tears of joy and relief after their treatment.

But we are very conscientious about how each new patient  has a unique story to share. We carefully listen to their dental history and previous dental experience. We also ask questions about their current dental problems and expectations.

Our goal is to solve your dental woes. We want to restore your oral health and bring that happy smile back to your face. It is our job to listen carefully to your story and figure out the underlying reason behind your teeth loss. We get to the bottom of the problem and determine the solution to make your teeth healthier.

We believe that a person’s emotional and physical health is intertwined. Dr. Kaar doesn’t want these factors to affect his dental implant patients. We believe that how you feel inside determines your outlook on things. Embarrassing experiences in childhood because of periodontitis or bad teeth can cause a vivid lack of self-confidence, which ultimately affects how you feel. When people don’t feel confident with their smile, they resist going out to socialize, which causes depression in some people.

New patients often display a range of emotions in response to their dental diagnosis. They feel fear, sadness, or low self-esteem. And because people cope in different and unique ways, it is not surprising that people suffering from dental problems want to see those ‘before and after’ photos of other patients.

However, because we are not psychotherapists or counselors, we realize that we are not able to help with your mental health. What we can offer though is  compassion. We do realize that your emotional concerns are not irrelevant. You can put your bad dental consultation experience from before behind you because it is different with Dr. Kaar and his team. After a diagnosis, you will feel how compassionate Dr. Kaar is as he listens to your dental concerns.

Right from the beginning, our patients develop an emotional rapport with our team. This emotional connection helps the patients cope with the dental procedure. Our oral healthcare professionals pave the path to bright and happy smiles on our patients’ faces.

Doctors Who Perform All-on-4®

Dental implants and the techniques used to apply them on patients have not stopped improving over the years. Dentists have kept providing newer solutions for the advancement of the functionality of implants. The ultimate goal of all of this is to enhance the quality of the patient’s life.

A fixed teeth-in-a-day permanent bridge prosthesis provides comfort and security to patients, elevating their confidence and self-esteem. This bridge prosthesis is held solidly in place by four dental implants. These dental implants are ‘implanted’ by experienced dentists.

So instead of the conventional removable dentures, patients get a permanent solution to their problem without compromising their jaw bone and also bypassing the need for bone grafts and sinus lifts. They usually can get back to normal use of their teeth as soon as they are fitted for implants. This greatly enhances their lives by eliminating the daily frustration and discomfort of having loose and broken teeth. It also lets them enjoy a diet with no restrictions.

If you have failing dental crowns and bridges, gum disease, tooth decay, and jawbone loss, traditional dental implants may not be the solution. The All-On-4® dental implant procedure may be the best solution for you. Our All-on-4® dental professionals will discuss your treatment options during the complimentary consultation.

What Is Teledentistry?

We are very proud to inform you that our office is equipped with Teledentistry. It is an option exclusively available for our All-on-4® dental implants for teeth-in-a-day.

Choosing The Right Dentist For You

The search for the right dentist is a difficult task. But finding the right dentist for you is essential. Expect the dentist to go through your medical history and/or medical chart. This will help him determine whether you need teeth-in-a-day with All-on-4® dental implants, or a single dental implant for tooth replacement.

Take advantage of your consultation time with the dentist. As a patient, it can be confusing. But the dentist can help explain all the available options for you. This consultation with the dentist will help simplify your choice.

Successful, experienced, and compassionate dentists spend a lot of face-to-race time with dental implant patients. They take the time to understand the patient’s dentition, medical health information, and dental problems. A detailed dental evaluation of the patient’s gums and bite is the bedrock of implant dentistry.

The following are some tips when searching for the right implant dentist:

* Make sure they are licensed dentists with dental implant expertise.

* Make sure they have completed a three-year ADA program (Approved Residency Program). Do not go to specialists who’ve only taken weekend courses.

* Make sure they have a minimum of five years of experience in doing dental implants. They are the ones who know that effective dental implants aren’t available in common sizes as these complex and sophisticated dental devices have to be customized for an accurate fit.

* Make sure the dentist is a competent expert. Ensure that they have performed a variety of dental procedures on other patients, including single tooth implant, and multiple teeth implants using All-on-4®.

* Make sure their past patients are happy with their experience with the dentist.

The first thing you could do is prepare a short list of the best dental implant professionals. Then call their offices and ask your questions about your dental needs.

When analyzing dentists, be aware that while a permanent dental implant for a missing tooth has definitive benefits, there are also a few associated risks during the implant procedure.

It is therefore best to understand the implanting procedure.

The dental implanting procedure is broken into three parts.

1) Removal of existing tooth and root.

2) Placement of the implant, which will become the artificial root of your tooth prosthesis.

3) Placement of the crown atop the artificial root, which connects the tooth and the root. The new tooth must fit perfectly and sit comfortably atop the artificial root.

Throughout these parts, various issues could present themselves. The dentist must be careful, meticulous, and precise.

The tooth must be removed carefully from the tooth socket. Then the dental implant is affixed to the tooth socket. For proper dental implantation, tooth extraction must not damage any part of the bone from the tooth socket walls, which could cause gum recession. When there is damage to the bone on the tooth socket, or gum recession has happened, the dental implant surgery could be cancelled to mitigate poor results.

Moreover, the implant must be inserted in a stable and non-movable jawbone. Osseointegration (“Osseo”–bone; “integrate”–fusion with) happens when the specialized titanium implant fuses with the bone around the implant. Generally, to stabilize a dental implant, dentists penetrate the pointed end (apex) of the cone-shaped upper front tooth socket. Then they affix the implant to the bone of the tooth socket.

A screw being affixed into a previously drilled hole is a good metaphor to explain dental implantation. If the hole is too large, stabilizing the screw involves attaching it to the wooden grain that lies beyond the screw’s original length and width. If your implant is affixed appropriately, the gap in your tooth socket is filled by the bone that heals, grows, and fuses with the implant.

For your dental implantation surgery to be successful, choosing the right-sized implant and affixing it to the right position are essential.

If you feel you are about to lose your last remaining tooth, you have several options for tooth replacement. Dentists use reliable and advanced techniques to use a single dental implant to permanently attach a dental prosthesis anchored to the jawbone. This prosthesis supported by a dental implant works just like real teeth. You will have to maintain the same oral hygiene practices of brushing and flossing to care for the implants. The implants definitely provide important health benefits. With newer, better technology, dental implants now provide functional teeth on the same day as the dental implant surgery. The procedure is relatively expensive. However, it ensures functional teeth on the same day of surgery.

The technology is so cutting-edge that the implant-supported teeth function normally. The nerves, muscles, and jaw joints perform all the normal functions of a fully functional mouth. The implant-supported teeth permanently replace missing teeth and the lost gum tissues alongside, and restore facial structure support (cheeks and lips support.) These factors not only offer functionality but also create a more youthful appearance. You will be able to chew tough foods, eat fresh fruits and vegetables, laugh, kiss, speak confidently, and smile with joy.
