Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the advertised All-on-4 price so much lower than the true total?
Many ads quote implant surgery + temporary teeth only. Final zirconia, sedation, scans, and extractions are billed separately — adding $5,000–$10,000+ to the headline price.
What should be included in a fair All-on-4 quote?
A comprehensive quote includes CBCT, extractions (if needed), all implants, temporary and final prosthesis, sedation, and follow-up visits. Ask for itemized CDT codes in writing.
Is a quote below $12,000 for All-on-4 always a scam?
Not always — but it warrants scrutiny. Compare true total after add-ons and verify implant brands, surgeon credentials, and warranty terms before paying a deposit.
