1. Modern NJ Dental Implants Procedures Far Less Expensive
Than Traditional Protocols
This article explains how the more modern approaches to treating rampant tooth loss
are able to undercut traditional dental implant techniques by tens of thousands of
dollars.
Many New Jersey residents have avoided replacing missing teeth or have opted for more
traditional technologies, such as partials or full removable dentures, because they are under
the impression that dental implant treatment is simply prohibitively expensive. Well, with the
innovation of newer, less expensive dental implant protocols, this simply isn’t the case any
more! The cost of new teeth is not only inherently lower, but also with the help of the
financing offered by most NJ dental implant practices, it’s affordable. Let’s take a look at how
the “new kid on the block” – the “All-On-4®” dental implant technique – is changing smiles
and bank balances.
The All-On-4 Compared with Traditional Dental Implant Protocols
You wouldn’t be incorrect in the assumption that having all of your teeth replaced with dental
implants is incredibly expensive. It was. But in 1993, with the introduction of the more
sophisticated All-On-4 technique for fixed oral rehabilitation, the cost of getting new teeth
became substantially more affordable. Here’s how!
Fewer Implants Needed
Traditional dental implant procedures could
require as many as 10 implants per jaw in order to
give patients a full set of new teeth again. The
All-On-4®, as the name suggests, only requires
four (see image below).
Each implant represents an investment in the
region of $2,000 to $3,000, so by cutting down on

2. the number of implants required, the All-On-4® already affords patients massive savings on
the cost of new teeth. But we’re only getting started...
Only One Surgery in Most Cases
In order to place as many as 10 implants per jaw (20 in total if you’re undergoing full mouth
reconstruction), the dental implant surgeons who treat NJ patients would frequently
recommend that they come in for a series of surgeries, rather than one very long and complex
procedure. Primarily because most patients who need their teeth replaced no longer have
enough bone to place 10, 8, or many times even 6 dental implants. So many patients are told
they need bone grafting before they can have their implants.
This not only adds additional
expense, discomfort and recovery periods, it also significantly delays the time until you can
have new implanted supported teeth!
The All-On-4, however, only requires that four implants be placed, which can quite easily be
done in a single surgical session, strategically utilizing the bone that is maintained. This saves
patients a decent chunk of change on all the repeat bills that would be associated with
multiple surgeries, including anesthesia, the surgeon’s time, hospital stay, surgical
equipment and resources, etc. And the results are amazing!
Typically, No Bone Grafting
Where many thousands of dollars are saved, however, is
by the All-On-4’s ability to avoid the need for bone
grafting surgery, which is highly invasive, painful and
expensive. As stated, older dental implant protocols
would frequently require more implants (so they
thought) and hence bone grafting was often performed
before a dental implant professional could even begin
oral rehabilitation for a NJ patient.
This is because tooth loss and the diseases that cause it, i.e. gum disease, leads to the atrophy
and destruction of the bone tissue necessary to support dental implants. But through the
strategic placement and precise angulation of implants, the All-On-4 is almost always able to
bypass bone grafting, saving patients a lengthy recovery period and the bill for a most
unpleasant surgery.
A Final Note
For all these reasons, the All-On-4 technique comes with a much lesser price tag than
traditional dental implant procedures and, better still, can give patients new teeth in as little
as a single day! The direct and indirect savings are incredible and the outcomes: priceless.
