Full-Arch Implant Costs
and Options Explained Honestly

There’s more than one legitimate way to replace a full arch of teeth, and they don’t all cost the same because they aren’t the same treatment. Here’s how we think about the options, what each one really costs, and the trade-offs nobody puts on a website.

First, the Honest Part

Replacing a full arch can be done two fundamentally different ways: a removable overdenture that snaps onto implants (you take it out to clean it), or a fixed bridge that stays in — only a dentist removes it.

These are not the same surgery. The implants are placed in different numbers and positions, so they’re genuinely different treatment plans — not different price tags on the same thing. That’s why the consultation and 3D scan matter: they determine which options are actually possible for your mouth.

One more honest thing: a higher fee generally buys a more wear-resistant material and less frequent upkeep – not a different level of “working.” A well-made budget option still works.

The details

Option 1

Two-Implant Snap-In Overdenture (Lower Jaw)

$6,000–$8,000

What It Is

A lower denture that snaps onto two implants — implants anchored in your jawbone, with connectors that let the denture clip on and off. Removable: you take it out to clean it.

Our Fee

$6,000–$8,000 — two implants and the surgery to place them, with follow-up visits as your healing requires (we don't count or cap them).

Does Not Include

The denture itself and its snap connectors.

Outside-Provider Costs

The denture and connectors are made by a general dentist near your home — commonly a few thousand dollars; they set that fee, not us. We plan the case together with them.

What To Expect Later

The snap inserts wear and are replaced periodically (inexpensive, routine). The denture rests partly on your gums, so it feels less like natural teeth than a fixed option. Your denture care happens at your local dentist — deliberately, so routine adjustments are near your home rather than a drive to us.

Evidence

Two-implant lower overdentures have decades of published evidence, and two international consensus statements support them as a standard of care for the lower jaw (McGill 2002; York 2009).

Option 2

Interim Fixed Bridge In Milled PMMA (A Staged Path To Fixed Teeth)

$23,000–$27,000

What It Is

A fixed (non-removable) implant bridge milled from a high-strength provisional resin called PMMA. It's planned as a stepping stone: fixed teeth now at a lower cost, while you plan toward a definitive zirconia restoration later. Offered only for a lower arch biting against an upper denture, because chewing forces are generally lower in that specific bite configuration.

Our Fee

$23,000–$27,000 — comprehensive on our side: extractions, supportive grafting where your case needs it, implants, anesthesia as planned for your case, the milled PMMA bridge (delivered within 24 hours of surgery), and follow-up visits as your healing requires.

Does Not Include

The upper denture.

Outside-Provider Costs

The upper denture is made by a general dentist near your home (their fee, commonly a few thousand dollars).

What To Expect Later

This is a shorter-term solution and we plan it that way — it is not intended to be a definitive restoration. Chips or wear may be repairable, but a significant fracture can require replacement. Published follow-up on milled PMMA bridges extends to about two years; in a favorable bite we sometimes see longer service, but that expectation is clinical judgment, not published data. The plan from day one includes the path to the definitive zirconia restoration.

Who It Isn't For

If you grind heavily, or your lower teeth would bite against natural teeth or another fixed bridge, this material wears too fast — we'll tell you plainly if that's your situation.

Evidence

Milled PMMA full-arch bridges have supportive short-term data (out to roughly two years), and milled versions have performed better in studies than the older lab-processed kind. There are no long-term studies, and none specific to biting against a denture. We offer it as exactly what the data supports: a planned interim step.

Option 3

Zirconia Fixed Arch (Our Definitive Restoration)

$32,500–$38,000

What It Is

The definitive fixed full-arch restoration — a bridge of zirconia (a highly wear- and stain-resistant ceramic) on a titanium interface, anchored on implants placed with 3D surgical navigation.

Our Fee

$32,500–$38,000 per arch — and it's comprehensive by design. Our philosophy is simple: if something improves your long-term outcome, it's in the fee, not an upsell. That means extractions; supportive hard- and soft-tissue grafting when deficiencies exist (some practices avoid grafting — we do it because it benefits you in the long haul); general anesthesia with a CRNA for patients who are anesthesia candidates; implants placed with 3D navigation; multi-unit abutments (the connectors between implants and bridge); your fixed provisional teeth, delivered within 24 hours of surgery; and the definitive zirconia restoration.

Follow-Up Visits

As many as your case needs. We don't count them or cap them — healing isn't a punch card.

Outside-Provider Costs

None for this option — surgery and restoration are done here.

What To Expect Later

Zirconia is the most wear-resistant material we offer and typically needs the least frequent upkeep — but no implant restoration is maintenance-free. Implant-specific cleanings and occasional small services are normal. Framework fracture is very rare; if it happens, zirconia usually can't be patched — it's a remake. That's part of why bite design and planning matter so much.

Evidence

Zirconia fixed arches have supportive published data with low reported failure and maintenance rates in short-to-medium-term studies; the longest-term (10+ year) high-level evidence is still maturing (Bidra 2017; AlTarawneh 2021). We're straightforward about that too.

A separate conversation - complex & revision cases

Failed or failing previous implant work, severe bone loss, and cases needing implants anchored in alternative areas of bone (pterygoid or zygomatic implants) or custom frameworks. A meaningful share of our full-arch practice is revising work done elsewhere.

These are individually quoted after 3D imaging — typically above our standard range.

They’re genuinely harder operations with more variables, which is exactly why we won’t put a number on a website: your CBCT and workup produce a single, all-inclusive quote before you commit to anything. Outcomes in this category depend heavily on surgical experience and case selection — a fair thing to ask any surgeon about directly. Ask us; ask anyone else you consult too.

Treatments we recommend selectively or don't currently offer

Upper snap-in overdentures on four implants

Done properly, the cost approaches a fixed arch without feeling like one; the snap connectors need regular replacement; and upper-jaw anatomy often doesn't allow the implant positions the system needs. In the occasional case where it genuinely is the right restoration, we'll say so and plan it - but we don't recommend it as a routine path.

Snap-retained "fixed" systems (e.g., LOCATOR F-Tx)

We don't currently offer this system because the published long-term evidence remains limited. We'll reconsider as stronger clinical data becomes available.

Treatments we recommend

Which is right for me?

Your bite matters most

If you grind, or your new teeth will bite against natural teeth or another fixed set, the zirconia restoration is what we'd plan - provisional materials wear too quickly under heavy force.

Space and anatomy decide what's possible

A fixed arch needs a certain amount of room; sometimes an overdenture is the better restoration for your anatomy, not just the lower-cost one.

Which is right for me

The one situation where the interim fixed option works

is a lower arch biting against an upper denture, where chewing forces are generally lower.

This is why we plan it together

Different options are different surgeries. Your CBCT and consultation determine which are genuinely on the table — and which we'd steer you away from.

Maintenance - the part nobody advertises

Every option on this page needs ongoing professional maintenance: implant-specific cleanings and periodic small repairs. That’s normal and expected, not a sign something went wrong. Budget options trade more frequent, smaller upkeep for a lower entry fee; the definitive restoration costs more up front and asks less of you later.

No full-arch restoration should ever be presented as maintenance-free for life – and planning for that care up front is part of doing this right.

Your surgical maintenance and repairs happen at our Brunswick office with the surgeon who did your case; for the removable options, denture care happens with a general dentist near your home. We set it up that way deliberately.

Cost & financing

Fixed full-arch options at Innova run from $23,000 to $38,000 per arch depending on the option; the two-implant snap-in overdenture is $6,000–$8,000 for our portion. Complex and revision cases are quoted individually.

Many patients finance. Through Cherry (plans up to $50,000, terms to 60 months) or Sunbit (up to $20,000, terms to 72 months), a $32,500 arch can run for example about $628/month over 60 months at 5.99% APR – an example, not an offer; your terms depend on approval. Applying uses a soft credit check.

FAQ

Everything that improves your long-term outcome: extractions, supportive bone and soft-tissue grafting where needed, anesthesia (general anesthesia with a CRNA for anesthesia candidates), implants placed with 3D navigation, the connecting components, your provisional teeth, and the definitive zirconia restoration. If your case needs it to succeed long-term, it’s in the fee — not an add-on.

Your fixed provisional teeth are delivered within 24 hours of surgery — we plan a dedicated delivery visit the next day rather than rushing it into surgery day.

As many as your case needs. We don’t count or cap follow-up visits — your healing sets the schedule, not a punch card.

Yes — anesthesia is part of the fee, including general anesthesia with a CRNA for patients who are candidates for it.

Sometimes. A fixed lower bridge in an interim material, biting against an upper denture, is the most budget-friendly fixed scenario — offered as a planned stepping stone toward the definitive restoration. We’ll tell you honestly if your bite makes that risky.

A well-made two-implant lower overdenture is a proven, legitimate treatment — supported by two international consensus statements as a standard of care for the lower jaw. “Budget” here means removable and more upkeep — not something that doesn’t work.

The published long-term evidence for those systems remains limited. We’ll reconsider as stronger data becomes available.

Chips and small repairs are handled at our Brunswick office, usually quickly. A significant fracture of an interim-material bridge can require replacement — one of the trade-offs we explain before you choose. Zirconia fractures are very rare but usually mean a remake rather than a repair.

Yes — all of them, including the most expensive ones. Implant-specific cleanings and occasional small services are normal and expected.

That’s a meaningful part of our practice. Revision and complex cases are individually quoted after 3D imaging — bring your records or don’t; we image and plan from what’s actually in your mouth.
