Full Mouth Dental Implants Cost: All-on-4 vs Other Full-Arch Options

Direct answer: At Camenzuli Dental Excellence in New Orleans, a full-arch All-on-X implant case runs $25,000 to $35,000 per arch. For a national benchmark, a 2024 survey for CareCredit found that All-on-4 dental implants average $15,176 per arch, with a range of $11,640 to $27,500. In Louisiana, the average was $14,097 per arch [1]. Replacing both upper and lower teeth runs about twice that, roughly $28,000 to $30,000 at those averages.

One arch of fixed implant teeth can cost $11,640 or $27,500, according to the same national survey [1]. That's a gap of almost $16,000 for what sounds like one treatment. Some of it comes down to materials and the surgeon's experience [1]. Much of the rest is simpler: the quotes don't contain the same things. That's why comparing full mouth dental implants cost takes more than a headline number. One plan counts four implants, another six. One includes extractions, sedation and both sets of teeth, while another adds them later. Below, you'll find the benchmark numbers, what moves them, how All-on-4 compares with other full-arch options, and how to read a quote line by line.

TL;DR

• At Camenzuli Dental Excellence, a full-arch All-on-X case runs $25,000 to $35,000 per arch. A 2024 national survey puts All-on-4 at $15,176 per arch on average, with a range of $11,640 to $27,500. The Louisiana average was $14,097 per arch [1].
• Both arches cost about twice the per-arch figure, roughly $28,000 to $30,000 at those averages [1].
• An All-on-4 bridge is an implant-supported denture. The real choice is fixed (codes D6114 or D6115) or removable (D6110 or D6111) [2].
• Price moves with the number of implants, the material of the final teeth, and extras like extractions, grafts and sedation [1][6].
• Same day teeth are a temporary bridge. The final bridge comes months later and has its own code, so check that a quote covers both [2][4].
• Original Medicare doesn't cover implants in most cases, and dental insurance pays only up to your plan's annual maximum [8][1].

One liner: Compare full-arch quotes line by line, by implant count, fixed or removable teeth, and what's included, not by the headline price.

How much do full mouth dental implants cost?

In short: At Camenzuli Dental Excellence, a full-arch All-on-X case runs $25,000 to $35,000 per arch. All-on-4 averages $15,176 per arch nationally and $14,097 in Louisiana, based on a 2024 survey [1].

At Camenzuli Dental Excellence in New Orleans, a full-arch All-on-X implant case runs $25,000 to $35,000 per arch. For a national benchmark, a 2024 survey for CareCredit found that All-on-4 dental implants average $15,176 per arch, with a range of $11,640 to $27,500. In Louisiana, the average was $14,097 per arch [1]. Replacing both upper and lower teeth runs about twice that, roughly $28,000 to $30,000 at those averages.

We use All-on-4 as the benchmark because the survey gives both a national range and a Louisiana figure for it. The survey doesn't spell out what each fee covered, though [1], so treat these figures as a starting point, not a quote. Extractions, grafting and sedation may sit on top.

Three things move the number most, and each gets its own section below:

• How many implants support each arch
• What the final teeth are made of, usually acrylic or zirconia
• Everything around the surgery: extractions, bone grafting, sedation and the temporary teeth you wear while you heal

Your own figure comes from a written, itemized plan after an exam and a 3D scan. At Camenzuli Dental Excellence, that plan shows what's recommended, what's optional and what it costs, and we go over it with you before anything starts.

All-on-4 vs implant supported dentures: the real choice is fixed or removable

In short: All-on-4 is a fixed implant-supported denture. The real choice is fixed or removable [2].

An All-on-4 bridge is an implant-supported denture. The dental billing codes that insurers use split full-arch implant teeth into two groups, fixed and removable, not "All-on-4" and "dentures" [2].

	Fixed implant-supported denture	Removable implant-supported denture
Billing code, upper arch	D6114	D6110
Billing code, lower arch	D6115	D6111
Who takes it out	Only your dentist	You, every day
Common names	All-on-4, full-arch bridge, hybrid	Snap-in or implant-retained denture

So the question to settle first isn't which name sounds better. It's whether you want teeth that stay in or teeth you take out.

Picture an ordinary evening with each. With a fixed bridge, you brush and clean underneath it, often with tools your dentist recommends [1], then go to bed with your teeth in. With a removable implant denture, you unsnap it after dinner, clean it at the sink, and clean around the implant posts. It snaps back on in the morning and holds while you eat, with no adhesive.

Both are anchored to implants, so neither slips the way a regular denture can. A payer policy notes that 4 to 6 implants most commonly support either type [2]. A removable lower denture can work on fewer. A 2002 consensus statement named a lower denture on two implants as the first-choice standard of care for people with no lower teeth [3].

Fixed teeth sit in the higher price tier, as the comparison table further down shows. When you compare quotes, check which type you're being offered, because two quotes that both say "implant denture" can describe different products.

Camenzuli Dental Excellence offers both: fixed full-arch implant teeth, and implant-retained dentures that a few implants anchor.

What drives full arch implants cost

In short: Implant count, the final teeth material, surgical extras and the temporary bridge drive most of the price [1][5].

Think of a full-arch plan like building a small house. There are the posts in the ground, the house on top, the site work around it, and the trailer you live in while it's finished. Four line items track those parts, and they explain most of the gap between quotes.

Cost driver	What raises the price	How it shows on a quote
Implants	More implants per arch [1]	One placement line per implant, code D6010 [5]
Final teeth	Zirconia instead of acrylic [1]	A fixed or removable denture code [2]
Work around surgery	Extractions, grafts, a sinus lift, sedation	Separate lines. 2024 averages: socket graft $558, sinus lift $2,022, surgical extraction $363 per tooth, sedation $349 [6]
Temporary teeth	A fixed provisional bridge	Interim fixed denture, code D6118 or D6119 [2]

Implant count is the first lever, because each implant gets its own placement line on the quote [5]. All-on-4 is a named protocol from Nobel Biocare, which defines it as four implants per arch [4]. The back two are tilted up to 45 degrees to make use of the bone that's there and reduce the need for grafting [4]. Other full-arch plans use five, six or more implants. At Camenzuli Dental Excellence, Dr. Camenzuli typically places six to eight implants per arch, an approach the practice uses to spread the load across more support points.

Material is the second lever, and it's one of the main reasons prices differ [1]. Acrylic is common for temporary teeth because it's comfortable while you heal. Zirconia is more durable and less prone to staining, and some providers prefer it for final bridges [1].

The surgical extras depend on your mouth more than on the type of bridge. Someone with healthy bone and no teeth left may skip most of them, while someone with failing teeth and thin bone may need several.

All-on-4 dental implants cost compared with other full-arch options

In short: In the 2024 survey, All-on-4 averaged $15,176 and All-on-6 $29,980 per arch. Snap-in dentures sit in a lower tier [1][6].

The same national survey puts a wide spread of prices on the main full-arch options. The table lines them up by the things that drive cost.

Option	Implants per arch	Fixed or removable	Billing code	2024 survey average, per arch	Daily care
All-on-4	4 [4]	Fixed	D6114 or D6115 [2]	$15,176 [1]	Clean under it; stays in
Fixed bridge on 6 or more implants	6 to 8	Fixed	D6114 or D6115 [2]	$29,980 for All-on-6 [6]	Clean under it; stays in
Implant-retained (snap-in) denture	2 or more [3]	Removable	D6110 or D6111 [2]	No reliable per-arch figure	Take it out to clean

Two things stand out. First, the survey's All-on-6 dental implants cost average is about double the All-on-4 average [1][6]. The survey doesn't say what each fee includes, so that gap isn't simply the price of two extra implants.

Second, the snap-in denture has no clean per-arch number. The survey lists denture and implant costs under separate labels, so any total depends on how many implants you need. What's clear is that it sits in the lower tier, because it usually uses fewer implants and a simpler denture than a fixed bridge [2][3].

At Camenzuli Dental Excellence, a fixed bridge on six to eight implants runs $25,000 to $35,000 per arch, and your exact price comes from a written quote after an exam and 3D scan.

Same day teeth: what you leave with, and what comes later

In short: Same day teeth are a temporary bridge. The final bridge follows after healing [4][7].

Same day teeth are a temporary bridge, not your final teeth. Nobel Biocare describes All-on-4 as giving patients provisional teeth in a day, for those who meet the criteria for immediate loading [4]. The final bridge goes in later, after your jaw has healed around the implants over a few months [1].

Immediate loading means the implants are connected to teeth within one week of placement, including the day of surgery [7]. It depends on how firmly the implants hold when they go in [7]. The International Team for Implantology (ITI) notes that for full arches, immediate loading appears predictable in the lower jaw, while the evidence for the upper jaw is less compelling [7].

	Temporary bridge	Final bridge
When	Surgery day or within a week [7]	After healing, months later [1]
Typical material	Acrylic [1]	Acrylic or zirconia [1]
Billing code	Interim fixed denture, D6118 or D6119 [2]	Fixed denture, D6114 or D6115 [2]

That separate code matters for your budget. You're getting two sets of teeth, so a quote should say clearly whether it covers both. If it only lists the final bridge, ask what the temporary one costs.

Dr. Camenzuli has trained in the ZBLC Immediate Implant Protocol. Whether same-day teeth fit your case comes down to your bone and your exam.

What a full-arch quote should include

In short: Every implant, connector, set of teeth and surgical extra should appear as its own line [5].

A full-arch quote should read like a parts list, not a single total. Each item has its own place in the dental coding system, so a quote can show it line by line [5]. That's the clearest way to compare full mouth dental implants cost between two offices.

Here's what to look for:

• Which arches are treated, upper, lower or both, with each priced separately [1]
• How many implants per arch, each with its own placement line, code D6010 [5]
• The connectors (abutments) that join implants to teeth, codes D6056 or D6057 [5]
• The final teeth: fixed or removable, with the code and the material named [1][2]
• The temporary bridge, if you'll have one, code D6118 or D6119 [2]
• Extractions, by number of teeth [6]
• Bone grafting or a sinus lift, if your scan shows you need one [6]
• The type of sedation [6]
• 3D imaging and the surgical guide used to place the implants, code D6190 [5]
• Follow-up and maintenance visits, and what the quote leaves out [5]

A few questions fill the gaps a list can miss. Is the temporary bridge included, or priced on its own? If the plan changes during surgery, say an extra graft, how is that billed? Which items are optional, and which are needed for the treatment to work?

At Camenzuli Dental Excellence, the written plan sorts treatment into what's recommended and what's optional, with costs, before anything is scheduled.

Insurance, Medicare, and financing

In short: Dental insurance may pay part, up to its annual maximum. Original Medicare usually pays nothing [1][8].

Dental insurance may pay part of full-arch treatment, but it depends on your plan. Many plans treat full-arch implants as elective, while a plan that covers major restorative work might pay a share [1]. Whatever it pays is capped by your plan's annual maximum, so the codes on your quote matter. Send them to your insurer before treatment and ask for a written estimate of benefits.

Original Medicare is simpler. In most cases, it doesn't cover dental items like dentures and implants [8]. Narrow exceptions exist when dental work is directly tied to covered medical treatment [8]. If you have a different type of Medicare plan, check its dental benefits directly.

Pre-tax accounts can help too. IRS Publication 502 lists amounts paid for artificial teeth and dental treatment as medical expenses [9], so ask your HSA or FSA administrator what your account allows.

How you can pay	How it works at Camenzuli Dental Excellence
PPO dental insurance	The practice accepts and processes most PPO plans and files the claim for you. It isn't contracted with any network, and your benefits still apply. You'll see a written estimate of what benefits cover before treatment.
Cherry financing	Monthly payments, including interest-free options for those who qualify. The application uses a soft credit check that won't affect your score.

Financing terms depend on your application and Cherry's approval.

Who qualifies for full-arch implants

In short: Adults losing most teeth in an arch, with enough bone and healthy gums, are usually candidates [1][10].

Most adults who have lost, or are losing, most of the teeth in an upper or lower arch can be considered for full-arch implants [1]. The answer for you comes from an exam and a 3D scan. These are the main things that exam looks at:

• Bone: enough jawbone to hold the implants [10]. Tilted implants can reduce the need for grafting [4], and grafting can rebuild a thin site when it's needed.
• Gums: healthy gum tissue, free of gum disease [10]. If you have gum disease, it needs treatment first.
• General health: good general and oral health overall [10].
• Smoking: a 2022 review of 292 studies found implants in smokers failed at about 2.4 times the odds of implants in nonsmokers [11]. It doesn't rule you out, but it's part of the conversation.
• Same-day teeth: a separate question. The implants have to be firm enough on surgery day [7], so some people who qualify for full-arch implants still wait for their teeth.

If fear has kept you away from the dentist for years, that alone doesn't disqualify you. Camenzuli Dental Excellence offers moderate IV sedation or nitrous oxide on site. You can also start with a comfort consultation, a sit-down talk with Dr. Camenzuli about sedation options. Nothing is examined, and it's free.

Full-arch implant teeth at Camenzuli Dental Excellence

In short: The practice places six to eight implants per arch in most cases, in-house, with sedation on site.

Camenzuli Dental Excellence offers a complete, fixed set of upper or lower teeth on implants, built on six to eight implants per arch in most cases. For people who'd rather take their teeth out, or who already wear a denture, implant-retained dentures are an option too.

How a full-arch case runs here:

• Planning starts from a digital scan, and implants are placed through a custom-printed guide.
• Treatment stays in-house from start to finish, with no referrals to other offices.
• Moderate IV sedation and nitrous oxide are available on site.
• You get a written plan with costs before anything begins.

Dr. Robert A. Camenzuli, DDS, has more than 25 years in practice. He is a Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists and the Academy of General Dentistry, and is certified in IV moderate sedation.

The practice is in Uptown New Orleans at 5100 Tchoupitoulas Street, Suite 300. Call (504) 291-0411 or book online to start with an exam and 3D scan. If nerves come first, start with the free comfort consultation instead.

Frequently asked questions

How much do full mouth dental implants cost?

At Camenzuli Dental Excellence, a full-arch All-on-X implant case runs $25,000 to $35,000 per arch. Nationally, a 2024 survey found All-on-4 dental implants average $15,176 per arch, with a range of $11,640 to $27,500. Replacing both arches runs about twice that. The survey doesn't say what each fee included, so extractions, grafting and sedation may be extra.

How much do all on 4 dental implants cost in Louisiana?

The 2024 survey put the Louisiana average for All-on-4 at $14,097 per arch. That's a statewide average, not a New Orleans price. At Camenzuli Dental Excellence, a full-arch All-on-X case runs $25,000 to $35,000 per arch. Your own cost comes from a written plan after an exam and 3D scan.

What is the difference between All-on-4 vs implant supported dentures?

An All-on-4 bridge is an implant-supported denture, the fixed kind. The billing codes split full-arch implant teeth into fixed and removable, not All-on-4 and dentures. Fixed teeth are coded D6114 or D6115 and only your dentist takes them out. Removable implant dentures are coded D6110 or D6111 and snap out for cleaning.

Why does full arch implants cost vary so much between quotes?

Quotes often contain different things. The number of implants, the material of the final teeth and the extras around surgery all change the total. Each implant has its own placement line, and zirconia teeth price differently from acrylic. Extractions, grafts, a sinus lift and sedation are usually separate lines.

How many implants does a full arch need?

All-on-4 uses four implants per arch. A payer policy notes that 4 to 6 implants most commonly support a full-arch denture, fixed or removable. Some plans use more. Dr. Camenzuli typically places six to eight implants per arch, while a removable lower denture can work on as few as two.

Are same day teeth permanent?

No. Same day teeth are a temporary bridge, and the final bridge goes in after your jaw heals around the implants. Immediate loading means the implants get teeth within one week of placement, but only when they're stable enough. The temporary bridge has its own billing code, so ask whether your quote includes it.

How long does full-arch treatment take?

The implants and a temporary bridge often go in at one visit, and the final bridge follows after the jaw heals over a few months. Most people recover from surgery in about three to four weeks, and a soft-food diet is usually advised for at least three months while the implants fuse to the bone.

What should a full-arch quote include?

It should list each item separately: arches treated, implants, abutments, the final teeth and their material, any temporary bridge, extractions, grafts, sedation, imaging and follow-up. Line items make two quotes comparable. Ask whether the temporary bridge is included and how changes during surgery are billed.

Why does All-on-6 cost more than All-on-4?

In the 2024 survey, the All-on-6 average was $29,980 per arch, about double the All-on-4 average. The survey doesn't say what each fee includes, so the gap isn't simply the price of two more implants. Compare itemized quotes instead.

Is there an ongoing cost after full-arch implants?

Plan for regular maintenance visits. Cleaning around implants when the bridge is removed and put back has its own billing code, D6080. Repairs can come up. A fractured bridge is less likely with zirconia, and people who grind their teeth may be advised to wear a night guard to protect the implants.

Does dental insurance cover full-arch implants?

Sometimes, in part. Many plans treat full-arch implants as elective, but a plan that covers major restorative work may pay a share. Any payment is capped by your plan's annual maximum. Send the codes on your quote to your insurer and ask for a written estimate first.

Does Medicare cover dental implants?

Original Medicare doesn't cover dentures or implants in most cases. Narrow exceptions exist when dental work is directly tied to covered medical treatment. If you have another type of Medicare plan, check its dental benefits.

Can I use an HSA or FSA for implants?

Possibly. IRS Publication 502 counts amounts paid for artificial teeth and dental treatment as medical expenses. Check with your HSA or FSA administrator to confirm what your account allows.

Who qualifies for full-arch implants?

Most adults who have lost, or are losing, most of the teeth in an arch can be considered. Candidacy depends on bone, gum health and general health. Gum disease needs treatment first, and smoking raises the odds of implant failure. An exam and 3D scan give the real answer.

Does smoking affect dental implants?

Yes. A 2022 review of 292 studies found implants in smokers failed at about 2.4 times the odds of implants in nonsmokers. Smoking doesn't automatically rule you out, but your dentist will discuss it before treatment.
