All-on-4 Full-Arch Implants in Fayetteville, NC
If you have lost most of an arch — or you are worn out from a denture that never sits still — All-on-4 is the treatment that puts fixed, permanent teeth back in your mouth on just four to six implants. Nothing comes out at bedtime, nothing needs paste, and nothing slides while you eat or talk. Here in Fayetteville, near Fort Bragg, our own doctors plan and place every full-arch case right in the office. We do not send this work out or wait on a surgeon who visits once a month, and the same on-site 3D cone-beam scanner we use to plan your case is what keeps the result predictable.
Who we build these for
Full-arch treatment tends to be the right call in four situations, and most patients we see recognize themselves in at least one:
- You already wear a denture — usually a lower one — and you are done chasing it around your mouth with adhesive.
- An arch full of teeth is breaking down at once, from gum disease, deep decay, or cracks, and saving them one by one would cost more and buy you less time.
- Old crowns, bridges, and partials are all wearing out together, and you would rather rebuild once than keep patching.
- Another office told you there was not enough bone for implants — a wall the tilted All-on-4 approach frequently gets around.
What All-on-4 actually is
Years ago, replacing a whole arch meant sinking one implant under every tooth — a dozen or more, priced and stitched accordingly. All-on-4 does away with that. We tilt a few implants into the densest bone available so the bite spreads evenly, then fasten a single bridge carrying a full row of twelve to fourteen teeth on top. The implants do the chewing work; the bridge gives you back a complete smile. When a jaw needs extra hold, we use five or six implants instead — you might hear it called All-on-6 — but the plan is the same: a few solid anchors under one fixed set of teeth that you never take out.
Fixed teeth or a snap-in denture?
People often weigh All-on-4 against an implant snap-in denture, and the difference is worth understanding. A snap-in denture clips onto two to four implants for a firmer hold, but you still lift it out nightly and it is still a plate — cheaper, and a real upgrade over a plain denture. All-on-4 puts twelve or more teeth on four or more implants and never leaves your mouth, which costs more but feels far closer to the teeth you grew up with. At your consult we compare the two honestly against what you want and what you can spend.
Cases we treat often in Fayetteville
What happens, start to finish
The whole thing takes eight to twelve months, and it breaks into three visits’ worth of work.
The consult. We scan your jaw in 3D, decide where the implants go and which teeth need to come out, and send you home with a written plan and a real, itemized price — no guessing.
Surgery day. Any failing teeth in that arch come out, the implants go in, and in most cases a fixed temporary bridge goes on the same day. You leave with teeth.
The months after. The implants heal into the bone over three to six months. Once they are solid, we build and fit your permanent bridge, shaped around how you have actually been eating and how you want it to look.
What it costs
A full arch at our Fayetteville office generally lands around $20,000 to $25,000 and $50,000 for both arches. What moves your number is real: how much bone is gone, how tough the extractions are, and which prosthetic material you pick. Top and bottom together usually costs less than two separate arches, since the scan, planning, and surgery time overlap. Most plans cover a share, which we confirm up front, and Sunbit or a longer-term medical loan handles the rest on your side.

Fayetteville All-on-4 — questions patients ask
Can I use Tricare or dental insurance toward All-on-4?
Often for part of it. Many plans pay something toward pulling teeth, some of the implant work, and the final prosthetic, but a yearly maximum caps how much comes back and cosmetic upgrades may not qualify. Bring your card and we will run your benefits before anything is scheduled.
What is the price range for a full arch here?
One arch generally lands between $20,000 and $25,000. Top and bottom together usually range around $40,000 to $50,000.
Do I walk out with teeth on surgery day?
Almost always. A temporary bridge is fastened to the fresh implants the same visit, so you go home with a full set showing. It carries you until the permanent bridge is ready.
A dentist said my jaw bone was too thin. Now what?
Come get a second look. Tilting the implants lets us anchor into the firm bone you still have, which often clears the way for All-on-4 without a big graft. A 3D scan tells us for certain, and we give it to you straight.
Is this really permanent, or does it come out?
Permanent. The bridge bolts onto the implants and stays — you brush it and run a water flosser beneath it. The only time it comes off is once a year, when the hygienist detaches it to clean the implants, then reattaches it.
Come in for a full-arch consultation
Bring any past X-rays. We will take a 3D scan, tell you straight whether All-on-4 fits, and put real numbers on paper. New patients and military families welcome. Se habla español.
