How Much Do All-on-4 Dental Implants Cost in Los Angeles?
August 22, 2026
All-on-4 dental implants replace a full arch of missing or failing teeth with a fixed bridge supported by four implants. At Wilshire Smile Studio, treatment starts at $15,000 per arch. Your written treatment plan explains what is included, from 3D imaging and implant placement to fixed temporary teeth when appropriate, the final bridge, and follow-up care.
| Treatment | Confirmed Price at Wilshire Smile Studio |
|---|---|
| All-on-4, one arch (upper or lower) | From $15,000 per arch |
| Locator-supported removable denture | From $5,000 per arch |
| Single dental implant | $1,500 – $4,500 per tooth |
| Traditional full denture | From $1,000 per arch |
All-on-4 is quoted as an all-inclusive fee within the agreed treatment plan. If the exam or 3D scan shows care outside that scope, the team explains and itemizes it before treatment begins. Comparing written, like-for-like plans helps you see whether temporary teeth, the final bridge, extractions, sedation, and follow-up visits are included.
What the All-on-4 Price Includes
- Consultation, a CBCT 3D scan, and treatment planning
- Removal of failing teeth in the arch, when needed
- Surgical placement of implants by our oral surgeon, Dr. Nariman Saadat
- A fixed temporary bridge or removable temporary prosthesis, when clinically appropriate
- CAD/CAM design and dental-lab coordination for the final custom bridge
- The final custom bridge, delivered and fitted after healing
- Follow-up visits through the end of treatment
When comparing estimates, ask whether the number covers the complete planned treatment or only the implant surgery. A lower headline price may leave the final bridge, sedation, or extractions as separate charges. At Wilshire Smile Studio, Dr. Saadat manages treatment from the initial evaluation through implant placement and delivery of the final bridge, so one doctor follows your case from beginning to end.
What Are the Five Stages of All-on-4 Treatment?
- Consultation and 3D scan: The team reviews your health history, examines your mouth, and takes a cone-beam CT (CBCT) scan to see your bone in three dimensions.
- Digital planning: Dr. Nariman Saadat plans the implant positions, reviews your bite, and coordinates the CAD/CAM bridge design with the dental lab.
- Surgery and temporary teeth: Planned extractions and implant placement take place. A fixed temporary bridge or removable temporary prosthesis may be provided when clinically appropriate.
- Healing and follow-up: The implants integrate with the bone while the team checks healing, comfort, and the temporary bridge.
- Final bridge: After healing, the custom final bridge is delivered and fitted, and your care instructions are reviewed.
Factors That Affect Your All-on-4 Cost
Bone condition
The 3D scan shows the height and width of the available bone. Angled rear implants can sometimes use existing bone differently from traditional implant placement, but some patients still need grafting or other preparation. Your written plan shows whether any of that applies.
Extractions
If failing teeth remain in the arch, they are removed before the implants are placed. The number and complexity of the extractions may affect the surgical time and cost; the condition of the teeth by itself does not set the price.
Bridge material
The final bridge material affects the price. Acrylic is generally the lowest-cost option, porcelain-fused-to-metal is typically mid-priced, and zirconia is usually the highest-priced option. Dr. Saadat will explain which material fits your bite, treatment plan, and budget.
Sedation
All-on-4 surgery at Wilshire Smile Studio is performed with twilight sedation, a monitored form of sedation intended to help you remain comfortable and relaxed. Your written treatment plan shows the sedation included in the proposed care before treatment begins.
One arch or both
Each arch is planned and priced separately. If both the upper and lower arches need treatment, your written plan lists the scope and fee for each one.
Does Insurance Cover All-on-4?
Most dental insurance plans classify full-arch implant treatment as major care and contribute to parts of it rather than the whole treatment. Some plans help with extractions, imaging, or a portion of the prosthesis. Our team verifies your benefits, and anything your plan covers is reflected in your quote. You can read more about the plans we work with on our insurance and payment page.
Financing and Monthly Payment Options
Wilshire Smile Studio accepts cash, personal checks, and major credit or debit cards, including Visa, Mastercard, and Discover. Eligible patients may also use Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds for qualifying dental expenses.
Financing is available through CareCredit, Alphaeon Credit, and LendingClub. Approval, rates, and payment terms depend on the lender. Our team can review available options after you receive your written treatment plan.
All-on-4 vs. the Alternatives
Single dental implants
If you’re missing only a few teeth, individual dental implants at $1,500 to $4,500 per tooth are usually the better fit. Each implant replaces one missing tooth without requiring the neighboring teeth to be altered.
Traditional dentures
Traditional full dentures start at $1,000 per arch. They are removable, rest on the gums, and rely on the underlying jawbone for support. As the bone changes over time, a denture may lose suction or begin to slip and may need adjustment.
Locator-supported dentures start at $5,000 per arch and use implants to help a removable denture snap into place more securely. For patients who are not ready for All-on-4 or who need a lower upfront cost, a Locator-supported denture may provide a practical starting point. Any future move to All-on-4 depends on a new clinical evaluation.
Why All-on-4 costs more
All-on-4 costs more upfront because the fee covers implant surgery and a full fixed bridge. Unlike a removable denture, fixed implant-supported teeth stay in place during daily use and can only be removed by a dental professional. The right choice depends on your needs, bone, budget, and ability to maintain the restoration.
How Are All-on-4 and All-on-6 Fees Determined?
All-on-4 and All-on-6 fees are based on the complete clinical plan, not the implant count alone. Dr. Saadat considers your available bone, bite forces, and the support required for a stable, functional restoration. Your written plan explains the recommended number of implants, included services, and total fee before treatment begins.
The Cost of Waiting
Missing or failing teeth can affect chewing, nearby teeth, and the jawbone. Timing matters, but not every patient needs the same preparation. A consultation and 3D scan show your current condition so you can compare the options without committing to treatment.
