All-on-4 Cost in Wilmington
All-on-4 at our Wilmington office runs about $20,000 per arch for the acrylic option and about $25,000 per arch for zirconia — roughly $40,000 to $50,000 for a full set of upper and lower teeth. It replaces an entire jaw of teeth with a fixed bridge anchored on four implants, not a denture you take out at night.
What the All-on-4 Price Include
- The four implants and the surgery to place them.
- A temporary set of teeth you wear the same day while everything heals.
- The final fixed bridge once the implants have integrated.
- The planning, 3D imaging, and follow-up visits along the way.
Always confirm which of those a quote covers — a low headline figure sometimes prices only the surgery and bills the final teeth separately.
Acrylic or Zirconia — the choice that moves the number
The final bridge comes in two materials. Acrylic-on-titanium runs about $20,000 per arch — lighter on the budget and easy to repair. Zirconia, at about $25,000 per arch, is stronger, more stain-resistant, and looks the most like natural enamel. That roughly $5,000-per-arch gap is most of the price difference between two honest All-on-4 quotes.
Why four implants can hold a whole arch
The reason four implants support a full jaw is angle: the back two are tilted to grab the densest bone available, which often lets you avoid the grafting that replacing each tooth individually across the same span would require. Fewer implants and less bone work is exactly why All-on-4 can cost less than rebuilding an arch one implant at a time.

How it compares to the alternatives
A traditional denture costs far less but moves when you eat, covers the roof of your mouth, and needs adhesive. Snap-on dentures are the removable middle ground — they clip onto two to four implants and run $10,000 to $14,000 per arch. All-on-4 sits above them because it is fixed in place by the dentist and comes closest to the feel of real teeth. And against rebuilding an arch one implant at a time, All-on-4 usually works out more affordable, not less.
Full-arch implants Insurance and financing
Plans rarely cover a full-arch case, but many contribute toward the implant portion up to your annual maximum, and we verify that before you commit. Because this is a larger investment, most patients finance it: as a rough illustration, a $25,000 arch over 36 months is around $700 a month before interest, through Sunbit or a medical-dental loan, with actual terms depending on the plan.
What the All-on-4 Full Arch Process Look Like
After a consult and 3D scan, the four implants are placed and you leave the same day with a temporary set of teeth. Once the implants integrate over a few months, the final fixed bridge is made and fitted. We keep the planning and placement in-house so the case stays in one set of hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does All-on-4 cost in Wilmington?
About $20,000 per arch for acrylic and about $25,000 per arch for zirconia, or roughly $40,000 to $50,000 for a full set of upper and lower teeth, including the implants, surgery, a same-day temporary, and the final bridge.
What is included in the All-on-4 price?
The four implants, the surgery, a same-day temporary set of teeth, and the final fixed bridge, plus planning and follow-ups. We spell out exactly what your estimate covers so nothing is billed as a surprise later.
Why does zirconia cost more than acrylic?
Zirconia, at about $25,000 per arch, is stronger, more stain-resistant, and looks closest to natural enamel, but it takes more lab work. Acrylic-on-titanium is about $20,000 per arch and is easy to repair. The material is the biggest single factor in the price.
Is All-on-4 cheaper than replacing every tooth with its own implant?
For a full arch, usually yes. All-on-4 uses four implants placed at angles that avoid much of the bone grafting individual implants would need across the same span.
How is All-on-4 different from snap-on dentures?
All-on-4 is a fixed bridge that only the dentist removes and feels most like natural teeth. Snap-on dentures cost less ($10,000 to $14,000 per arch), clip onto two to four implants, and you take them out to clean.
Does insurance pay for All-on-4?
Plans rarely cover the full case, but many contribute toward the implant portion up to your annual maximum. We verify your benefits before you commit.
Can All-on-4 be financed monthly?
Yes. Most patients spread a full-arch case over monthly payments through Sunbit or a medical-dental loan after any insurance contribution.
