Quick answer
What is All-on-4?
All-on-4 is a full arch of fixed teeth held on four dental implants. The implants are titanium posts placed in the jawbone that act as roots, and the new teeth are screwed onto them. You don't take them out at home; you clean them in your mouth every day, including underneath. It is considered when a whole arch is missing or the remaining teeth can't be kept.

How it works
Why four implants can hold a whole arch
The two back implants can be placed at an angle to make better use of the bone you have. Depending on the case, that can avoid a bone graft. Some cases are planned with more than four implants, and that is decided from your X-rays and scans.
The difference from a removable denture is where it rests. A denture sits on the gums and can move, even with adhesive. All-on-4 rests on implants in the bone, so it stays in place to eat and to sleep, and an upper arch is usually designed without covering the palate.
It may be an option if
- Your denture moves or needs adhesive
- You lost several teeth and the rest are loose or infected
- The teeth in one arch need to come out and you don't want a removable plate
- You were told elsewhere you don't have enough bone

How long All-on-4 takes
$65 consultation and studies
We check your mouth, gums and bone with X-rays, explain your options and plan the case.
Written plan and cost
Once the studies are done, you get the plan and the full cost in writing. You don't have to decide that day.
Surgery
The implants are placed. We explain the anesthesia, what you will feel and the recovery for your case beforehand.
Healing, then final teeth
The implants bond with the bone, usually over three to six months. Then the final full-arch prosthesis goes in.
Your options
All-on-4 compared with the alternatives
The consultation covers every option for your case, not only All-on-4.
More implants
Some cases are planned with five or six implants, depending on the bone.
Denture
Rests on the gums. Lower cost upfront, but it can move and comes out to clean.
Individual implants
When only some teeth are missing and the rest are healthy.
Cost and financing
What All-on-4 costs
In Broward County, All-on-4 typically runs about $18,000 to $30,000 per arch. Your own cost depends on how many implants you need, whether a bone graft is needed and the type of prosthesis, which is why we don't quote it over the phone.
After the $65 consultation and studies, you get the plan and the full cost in writing before anything starts. Your dental insurance may cover part of it, and we check that before you decide.
After surgery
Eating and caring for All-on-4
Soft food first
A soft diet during recovery. We tell you when to add other foods as you heal.
Clean it daily
Brush the bridge every day, including underneath. We show you which brush or water flosser to use.
Keep your checkups
Home care and regular visits are what keep the implants and the bridge healthy.
Questions patients ask
All-on-4 questions
Am I a candidate?
There is no set age. We look at your bone, gums and general health at the $65 consultation, with your X-rays in hand, and tell you whether All-on-4 fits your case.
Does it hurt?
The surgery is done with anesthesia to control pain. You may feel pressure or movement, and some swelling and discomfort in the first days is normal. We give you instructions for ice and medication for your case.
I was told I don't have enough bone. Can I still get it?
Often the back implants can be angled to use the bone you have, and when a graft is needed we can do it. Come in before ruling it out; bring any scans you already have.
How much does All-on-4 cost?
Typically about $18,000 to $30,000 per arch in Broward County. Your exact cost depends on your case and comes in writing after the $65 consultation and studies.
Can I pay monthly?
Yes, through CareCredit, Sunbit, Cherry or Alphaeon, subject to approval. Each company sets its own terms, and we help you apply.
What happens at the $65 consultation?
We check your mouth and gums, take X-rays to see the bone and explain your options, which may be All-on-4, individual implants or another treatment. You don't have to accept treatment that day.
