Full Mouth Dental Implants Cost (2026)
Quick answer: Replacing both arches with implants typically costs $36,000–$84,000, with a typical price around $52,000. Per arch, All-on-4 runs $18,000–$42,000 and All-on-6 runs $24,000–$52,000. A removable implant-supported denture is the cheaper option at $4,500–$11,000 per arch.
Full mouth prices at a glance
| Treatment | Per arch | Both arches | What's included |
|---|---|---|---|
| All-on-4 | $18,000–$42,000 | $36,000–$84,000 | 4 implants, abutments, provisional, final prosthesis |
| All-on-6 | $24,000–$52,000 | $52,000–$84,000 | 6 implants, abutments, provisional, final prosthesis |
| Implant-supported denture | $4,500–$11,000 | $4,500–$11,000 × 2 | 2–4 implants, attachments, removable denture |
| Traditional denture | $1,500–$5,000 | $1,500–$5,000 × 2 | Removable prosthesis, no implants |
See the per-arch breakdown: All-on-4 cost. Typical figures are medians from our clinic samples. Full-mouth cases vary more than single implants because bone quality, grafting, and the final prosthesis material change the plan.
What is included in a full-mouth quote
A complete quote should itemize:
- Implant bodies (4 or 6 per arch)
- Abutments (stock or custom)
- Provisional prosthesis worn during healing
- Final prosthesis (acrylic, zirconia, or hybrid)
- CBCT scan and surgical planning
- Sedation or anesthesia
- Bone grafting or sinus lift, if needed
- Extractions of remaining teeth
- Follow-up visits and adjustments
The most common surprise is the final prosthesis: a milled zirconia bridge can cost several times an acrylic one. Ask which material is included.
Why full-mouth cases cost more than the sum of single implants
- More implants, more surgery. Four to six implants per arch, placed in one or two sessions.
- Grafting is common. Long-term missing teeth shrink the jaw; many full-arch cases need bone work.
- Provisional teeth. You need a temporary fixed or removable prosthesis while the implants integrate.
- Sedation. Longer surgery usually means IV sedation, which adds cost.
- Lab work. The final prosthesis is custom-made and material-dependent.
- More visits. Planning, surgery, healing, try-ins, and delivery.
Per arch vs both arches
Most clinics quote per arch. Treating both arches is roughly double, but some clinics discount the second arch by 10%–15% because planning and surgical time overlap.
If you only need one arch, say so explicitly when requesting quotes; otherwise you may get a full-mouth estimate that looks alarming.
Insurance, Medicaid, and financing
- Dental insurance rarely covers full-arch implants. Expect the annual maximum ($1,000–$2,000) to be a small fraction of the total.
- Medicaid covers implants only in narrow medically necessary cases. See Medicaid and implants.
- Medicare does not cover them. See does Medicare cover implants?.
- Financing is common: 0% healthcare cards, in-house plans, and personal loans. See dental implant financing.
How to compare full-mouth quotes
Ask every clinic for the same five-line breakdown:
- Number of implants per arch
- Implant brand
- Provisional included? Fixed or removable?
- Final prosthesis material
- Grafting and sedation included?
A quote that cannot answer these is not comparable, no matter how low the total.
FAQ
How much do full mouth dental implants cost?
$36,000–$84,000 for both arches, with a typical price around $52,000. Per arch, All-on-4 is $18,000–$42,000.
Is All-on-4 cheaper than All-on-6?
Usually yes, because it uses fewer implants. All-on-6 costs more but may be recommended when bone volume or bite forces require it.
Can I do one arch at a time?
Yes. Many patients treat the upper arch first, then the lower, which also spreads the cost across two calendar years for insurance purposes.
Are full-mouth implants covered by insurance?
Rarely in full. The annual maximum is usually a small fraction of the total.
How long does full-mouth treatment take?
Planning and surgery can happen within weeks; final teeth are usually delivered after 4–6 months of healing, depending on grafting.
What is the cheapest full-mouth option?
A removable implant-supported denture costs less than a fixed All-on-4 or All-on-6. A traditional denture is cheaper still but has no implants. See implant vs denture.
