Full Arch Dental Implants Cost | Big Sky Smiles & Sedation

If you’re considering a complete new smile, cost is probably one of your first questions. That’s completely understandable. At Big Sky Smiles & Sedation, we believe high-quality implant care should be within reach for anyone who needs it. Below, you’ll learn what shapes the full arch dental implants cost, how it compares to dentures over time, and the insurance and financing options that can make treatment fit your budget.

What Affects the Price of Full Arch Implants?

Every smile is different, so every treatment plan is priced individually. After your consultation, oral exam, and cone-beam CT scan, Dr. Tyler Bond will give you a clear, itemized estimate. These are the main factors that shape your investment:

One arch or both: Restoring your upper or lower teeth costs less than restoring both arches at once.
Number of implants: Our All-On-X protocol uses four or more implants per arch. The exact number depends on your bone and bite.
Your final restoration: Many patients choose a durable zirconia prosthesis, while others prefer a removable implant-supported denture. Fixed and removable designs are priced differently.
Extractions: If failing teeth need to be removed, that work is part of your plan.
Bone support: Angling the back implants often lets us use your existing bone and avoid grafting, which can keep costs down.
Gum health: Active gum disease must be treated before implant surgery.
Sedation: IV sedation keeps you relaxed and comfortable throughout your procedure.

What Your Treatment Typically Includes

A full arch plan usually covers your diagnostics and 3D imaging, surgical planning, implant placement, temporary teeth, follow-up visits during healing, and your final restoration. We’ll review exactly what’s included before you commit, so there are no surprises.

Full Arch Implants vs. Dentures: Comparing Long-Term Value

Traditional dentures often have a lower upfront price, but that’s only part of the story. Because dentures rest on the gums, the jawbone underneath gradually shrinks. Over time, that leads to gum irritation, a loose fit, and the need for periodic relining. Many denture wearers also deal with clicking, slipping, messy adhesives, and limits on what they can eat.

Full arch implants work differently. The implant posts replace your tooth roots, which helps prevent bone loss and the facial changes that come with it. Once your implants fuse with your jawbone, they can restore up to 99% of your natural biting and chewing power. Your new teeth are cared for much like natural teeth and are designed to last for decades.

When you weigh years of relines, adhesives, and replacements against a long-lasting solution, implants often deliver better value in the long run.

Insurance, Financing, and Peace of Mind

We want cost to be a manageable part of your decision, not a barrier. Here’s how we help:

Insurance: Dental insurance may partially cover implant treatment. We’re in network with many major plans, including Aetna, Cigna, Delta Dental, MetLife, and UnitedHealthcare, and we file claims on your behalf.
Proceed Finance: Loans from $2,500 to $75,000, with prequalification that won’t affect your credit score.
CareCredit: No-interest options of 6 to 24 months for qualified patients.
Cherry: Flexible monthly payment plans.
Five-year warranty: Full-mouth restorations and dental implants are backed by a five-year warranty when you keep all of your hygiene appointments.

Before treatment begins, we’ll walk you through your estimated out-of-pocket costs and payment options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why don’t you list a set price for full arch implants?

Every patient’s needs are different. The number of implants, your restoration type, and whether you need extractions all affect the total. Your personalized estimate is based on your exam and 3D scan.

Does dental insurance cover full arch implants?

Coverage depends on your plan. Some plans may cover part of the treatment, such as extractions or the restoration. Our team will check your benefits and help you get the most from them.

Can I make monthly payments?

Yes. We work with Proceed Finance, CareCredit, and Cherry, so you can spread your investment into manageable monthly payments. Many patients can prequalify without affecting their credit score.

Is it cheaper to do one arch at a time?

Treating one arch costs less upfront, and some patients start with the arch that needs the most help. Dr. Bond can help you decide whether treating one or both arches makes more sense for your health and budget.

Are full arch implants worth the cost compared to dentures?

For many patients, yes. Implants help preserve your jawbone, stay firmly in place, and are designed to last for decades. Dentures often need relining and adjustments as the bone changes.

What if I can save some of my natural teeth?

If several healthy teeth can be saved, Dr. Bond may recommend full mouth reconstruction instead. This approach combines implants, crowns, and gum therapy to rebuild your bite in phases.
