The All-on-4 difference

Why patients choose Dental Excellence for All-on-4

All-on-4 questions Stephenville patients ask

How much do All-on-4 dental implants cost in Stephenville?+

All-on-4 full-arch reconstruction in central Texas typically ranges from $20,000 to $35,000 per arch, including four implants, abutments, the surgical procedure, and a fixed prosthesis. Both arches together run $40,000 to $70,000. Final pricing is itemized after a 3D CBCT scan and case planning.

How is All-on-4 different from traditional dental implants?+

Traditional implants replace teeth one at a time, eight to ten implants per arch. All-on-4 uses just four strategically angled implants per arch to support an entire row of fixed teeth, often eliminating the need for bone grafting and reducing total surgery time. Pioneered by Dr. Paulo Maló, the technique now has 10+ year success rates above 95%.

Will I leave the office with teeth on the same day?+

In most cases, yes. We use a "teeth in a day" protocol where a temporary fixed prosthesis is placed at the same surgical visit as the implants. You eat soft foods for several months while the implants integrate, then return for the final zirconia or hybrid prosthesis.

Am I a candidate for All-on-4?+

Most adults missing all or most of their teeth in an arch, or facing the loss of remaining teeth, are candidates. Our 3D CBCT scan in our Stephenville office tells us in minutes whether you have enough bone for the angled implant placement. Heavy smokers, uncontrolled diabetics, and patients on bisphosphonates are evaluated case-by-case.

How long does All-on-4 last?+

Long-term studies in the Clinical Oral Implants Research journal report All-on-4 implant survival rates exceeding 95% at 10 years. The titanium implants themselves typically last 25+ years; the prosthesis attached to them may need refurbishment every 10 to 15 years depending on material and wear.

Will my insurance cover All-on-4?+

Most PPO plans cover at least the prosthesis portion when teeth have been lost. Annual maximums of $1,500 to $2,500 typically apply. Medical insurance may cover portions of the case when tooth loss is due to accident, cancer treatment, or congenital condition. We verify your full benefits before treatment.

How does the All-on-4 process compare to dentures?+

Dentures sit on the gums and need adhesive; bone underneath continues to shrink. All-on-4 anchors a fixed bridge to four implants in the jawbone, preserving bone, restoring 90%+ of chewing function (vs 25–50% for dentures), and eliminating the need to remove the prosthesis at night.

What financing is available?+

CareCredit financing with promotional 0% APR periods covers full-arch cases. We also accept cash, check, and major credit cards. Many patients combine insurance benefits, HSA/FSA funds, and CareCredit to spread the cost across two calendar years.

Why choose Dental Excellence over an oral surgeon for All-on-4?+

We place and restore the implants in the same practice, so a single team manages your case from CBCT scan through final delivery. You don't coordinate between separate surgical and restorative offices. Dr. LaDuque also evaluates airway, bite, and oral-systemic factors during planning, important for full-arch cases that change facial structure and how you breathe.
