It’s the question everyone researching All-on-4 wants answered, and the frustrating reality is that there’s no single number. If you’ve come across a website that quotes one flat price for All-on-4 without knowing anything about your case, that number isn’t doing you many favours.
Here’s a genuinely useful breakdown of what affects All-on-4 pricing, what you’re actually paying for, and how to get an accurate estimate for your specific situation.
What Actually Affects the Price?
All-on-4 is a multi-stage process involving surgery, temporary prosthetics, and a final permanent restoration. Several variables can shift the cost of a case significantly.
Number of arches. All-on-4 can be performed on one arch (upper or lower) or both. Full mouth restoration involving both arches has different pricing to single-arch treatment.
Need for extractions. If there are remaining teeth that need to be removed before or during implant placement, this adds to the overall scope of treatment.
Bone condition. In cases where bone density is lower, a common situation for patients who have been missing teeth for an extended period, additional procedures such as bone grafting may be required before implants can be placed. Dr Fong Nien Yong is experienced in complex surgical cases involving bone-deficient anatomy.
Implant type and materials. Not all implants are the same. The brand, system, and material of both the implants and the prosthetic arch all affect cost. Melton Dental House uses quality implant systems and works with Dr Fong’s clinical preference, which is shaped by over 3,000 implants placed across diverse cases.
Sedation requirements. In-house IV sedation and general anaesthesia are available at Melton Dental House through our sleep dentistry service for patients who prefer to be relaxed or asleep during the surgical phase. These options are associated with additional fees, which vary based on type and duration.
Prosthetic design. The final restoration, the arch that sits on top of the implants, can vary in material (acrylic, zirconia, or layered porcelain), and the aesthetic and functional specifications influence cost.
What You’re Actually Investing In
All-on-4 is not an inexpensive procedure, and it shouldn’t be compared on price alone. The long-term value lies in having a stable, fixed option that functions like natural teeth, one that doesn’t require adhesive, doesn’t shift, and integrates into your daily life in a way that removable options don’t.
At Melton Dental House, you’re also investing in the clinical depth of Dr Fong Nien Yong, a clinician with international qualifications, Master Clinician status in Implant Dentistry from Loma Linda University, and recognition as a NeoArch Centre of Excellence recipient. That level of experience is directly relevant to the quality and reliability of the outcome.
For families and patients managing the practical side of the investment, Melton Dental House offers flexible payment options to help spread treatment fees. The team can discuss what’s available during your consultation.
Getting an Accurate Quote
The only way to get a reliable, case-specific price is through a formal consultation and assessment. This involves a review of your dental and medical history, examination of your current oral health, and in most cases, 3D imaging (CBCT) to map bone structure.
Following this assessment, Dr Fong will outline the recommended treatment approach and provide a clear breakdown of associated fees before any commitment is made. There are no surprises in the process. The team at Melton Dental House is known for transparent, thorough communication at every stage.
