Paying for All-on-4
Dental Implants
All-on-4 dental implant cost varies based on the number of implants placed, the materials used, and whether any preparatory work (such as extractions or bone grafts) is required. We provide a precise quote at your consultation after reviewing your case with 3D imaging.
Because All-on-4 often eliminates the need for bone grafting through computer-guided placement, many patients find their total treatment cost is lower than they expected. We accept most dental insurances and your benefits may help cover preparatory care and your denture. We also coordinate with third-party lenders like CareCredit® and LendingClub® to provide financing plans for our patients in Troy, Birmingham, and Bloomfield.
Exploring Your Options All-on-4 vs. All-on-X
Both All-on-4 and All-on-X implants are excellent alternatives to traditional dentures. The most notable distinction between the All-on-4 and All-on-X methods is the number of implants used.
All-on-4 implants use four implants placed at specific locations in the jawbone. However, when a dentist feels that fewer (or more) dental implants would give a patient a better outcome, they may suggest All-on-X.
Our experienced dentists in Troy can determine whether you are a good candidate for All-on-4 or All-on-X dental implants. With us, you can rest assured you’ll receive a personalized approach that puts your restoration goals, jaw structure, and dental health at large front and center.
Benefits of All-on-X Implants
There are several reasons why All-on-X implants may be right for you. Here are some of the top reasons our patients love this state-of-the-art solution:
- Unparalleled Stability
- No Bone Grafts Needed
- Time Effective
- Natural Appearance
- With All-on-X, there's no shifting or slipping, which means there's no chance of your dentures falling out of place. We'll determine the optimal amount of implants needed to give you the stability you can rely on for years to come.
- Thanks to the use of computer-guided technology during the procedure, your dentist will be able to pinpoint the highest levels of bone without the need for grafting. This saves patients that come to our practice in Troy recovery time and money.
- Because of the strategic placement of implants and the lack of required bone grafting, All-on-X allows patients to receive a fully functional bridge in as little as two days. Your dentist will consult you on what you can expect from the full treatment timeline.
- Once the final denture is crafted, the difference between your restoration and natural teeth may be next to indistinguishable. All-on-X lets you make the most of a beautiful smile with realistic results.
Sedation Options for All-On-X
Dental Implant Surgery
/
Our practice offers sedation options that allow patients to feel comfortable undergoing All-On-X dental implant surgery and a host of other procedures. Some patients have their dental implants placed under a local anesthetic and oral sedation. Others opt for the stronger alternative: intravenous (IV) sedation. IV sedation lets patients with dental anxiety take control of their oral health with confidence.
A Dental Implants Treatment Timeline
From the initial consultation to placing the finished implant restoration, the All-on-X process typically takes a few months to complete. This general treatment timeline will give patients from Birmingham, Bloomfield, and nearby an idea of what to expect during the procedure.
All-on-4 implants are ideal for people who have lost most or all of their teeth.
Initial Consultation and Assessing Candidacy
All-on-4 implants are ideal for people who have lost most or all of their teeth. During your initial visit, we will note any problems that affect your candidacy for dental implants, such as bone loss or gum disease. We will also discuss your dental health goals.
Planning Implant Placement
We take high-quality dental impressions using i-CAT™ and an intraoral scanner. Advanced software determines the ideal position and number of implants needed.
Dental Implant Surgery
Remaining teeth can be removed and implants placed into the bone structure on the same day. A provisional bridge may be provided the same day of surgery as well.
Osseointegration
In the three to six months after surgery, the dental implants will fuse with the bone. This is known as osseointegration, and is crucial for the success of implant treatment.
Crafting the Denture
The permanent custom appliance is crafted at an off-site dental lab using the latest materials available. Great care is taken to ensure the durability and seamless aesthetics of your replacement teeth.
Final Denture Placement
When osseointegration is completed, patients return to the practice for the completed restoration. It's checked one last time for fit before it is finally snapped into place.
Long-Term Dental Implant Results Implant Aftercare and Advice
To maintain the positive results for as long as possible, our Troy, Birmingham, and Bloomfield patients should follow instructions for proper aftercare and good oral hygiene:
Maintain Proper Oral Hygiene
Even if you do not have any natural teeth remaining, it's still important to keep your gums, mouth, and implants clean. Be sure to clean your mouth at least twice a day to remove food particles and oral bacteria.
Avoid Tobacco Products
Cigarettes and chewing tobacco increase the risk of gum disease and infection of the tissue around the dental implants (peri-implantitis). All-on-4 dental implant treatment is a great motivation to kick the habit for good.
Attend Regular Checkups
In addition to follow-up visits to monitor your dental implants, continue to visit our practice every six months for cleanings and checkups. Preventative care is just as crucial for long-term dental health and success.
FAQ About All-on-4 Dental Implants in Troy, MI
Will the procedure be painful?
Before your surgery, we provide local anesthesia to numb the treatment area, which works to eliminate virtually all pain. For full relaxation and comfort, IV sedation is also available upon request. You can keep any post-op discomfort at bay with over-the-counter (OTC) pain medication, cold compresses, and other solutions. Your Troy dentist will explain what you can expect before your procedure.
Does dental insurance cover implants?
Dental insurance will most likely contribute to the cost of your denture as well as any preparatory work you need to resolve gum disease, tooth decay, or other issues before your implants. However, basic dental insurance may not offer coverage for dental implants. At any rate, our Troy practice, serving Birmingham, Bloomfield, and nearby, will work with you to maximize the benefits available to you.
How do I take care of my dentures after dental implant surgery?
With dental implants, the days of having to remove and soak your dentures are over! Maintaining these implant-supported dentures is no more difficult than looking after your natural teeth. Brush your replacement teeth twice a day, floss under the denture and around the implants daily, and make sure to visit your dentist at least twice a year to check on the health of your teeth and gums.
