Full Mouth Dental Implants Cost in 2026
Full mouth dental implants cost about $14,000-$36,000 per arch in 2026, so replacing both arches commonly totals $28,000-$72,000. The price swings on how many implants you need, the prosthetic material (acrylic vs zirconia) and bone grafting. Lower-cost routes — a two-implant overdenture or a conventional denture — start far below that.
Estimate your full mouth implant cost
The biggest cost drivers are the number of implants, the implant brand and whether you need bone grafting. Use the calculator for a personalised per-arch range, then compare it against the independent benchmarks below.

Full mouth implant cost by solution type (2026 benchmarks)
"Full mouth" is not one price — it is a goal you can reach several ways, and the route you choose moves the cost by tens of thousands of dollars. The ranges below reconcile published 2026 pricing from Aspen Dental, ClearChoice, MetLife and CareCredit against our own dataset, shown per arch (one upper or lower jaw). To replace every tooth in both jaws, roughly double the per-arch figure.

The five ways to replace a full mouth — and what each costs
- Conventional full denture ($300-$3,000 per arch). Removable, no surgery, lowest upfront cost. It rests on the gums, offers the weakest chewing power and does nothing to stop jawbone loss, so it usually needs relining or replacing every few years.
- Implant-supported overdenture, 2 implants ($7,000-$13,500 per arch). A removable denture that snaps onto two implants. Far more stable than a conventional denture at a fraction of a fixed bridge — the value pick for many patients.
- All-on-4 / fixed full arch in acrylic ($14,000-$26,000 per arch). A non-removable bridge anchored on four to six implants. Strong chewing, fixed in place, acrylic teeth on a titanium or metal frame.
- Fixed full arch in zirconia ($24,000-$36,000 per arch). The premium tier: a one-piece zirconia bridge that is the most durable and natural-looking, and the most expensive.
- Full mouth, both arches ($28,000-$72,000). Any of the fixed options done on the upper and lower jaw together. This is the figure people usually mean by "full mouth dental implants."
What is included in the price
A quoted full-arch price is only comparable once you know what it covers. A typical all-inclusive package includes:
| Component | Usually included? |
|---|---|
| Consultation and 3D CBCT scan | Yes |
| Tooth extractions | Usually |
| Implant posts and placement surgery | Yes |
| Abutments and surgical guide | Yes |
| Temporary teeth during healing | Usually |
| Final custom prosthesis | Yes |
| Bone grafting / sinus lift | Often extra |
| IV sedation / anesthesia | Sometimes extra |
When a full-arch quote looks unusually low, it often prices the implants and a basic acrylic prosthesis only, before grafting, sedation or a zirconia upgrade. Always ask for an itemized treatment plan.
What drives the price up or down
- Number of implants — four implants (All-on-4) cost less than six (All-on-6); an overdenture on two implants is cheaper still.
- Prosthetic material — acrylic is the budget option; zirconia is the most durable and the most expensive, adding several thousand dollars per arch.
- Bone grafting and sinus lifts — needed when the jaw lacks volume, adding roughly $500-$3,000 per site.
- One arch vs both — doing the upper and lower jaw together roughly doubles the cost but is often discounted versus two separate treatments.
- Provider and location — implant centers and high-cost-of-living metros charge more than a general practice in a lower-cost area for the same arch.
Full mouth implants vs All-on-4
These terms overlap, which is why prices look inconsistent across the web. All-on-4 is a specific technique — a fixed bridge on four implants in a single arch. "Full mouth implants" is the broader goal of replacing all your teeth, which may use All-on-4, All-on-6 or overdentures, in one or both arches. If you only need one arch restored on four implants, our All-on-4 cost guide covers that exact option; if you are pricing a complete upper-and-lower restoration, the both-arch row above is your number.
Paying for full mouth implants
Because the totals are large, how you pay matters as much as the sticker price:
- Insurance rarely covers more than its annual maximum (about $1,000-$2,000), usually applied to extractions or the prosthetic. Medicare does not cover elective implants.
- HSA/FSA dollars are IRS-eligible for implants, lowering the real cost by your tax rate.
- Financing — CareCredit and in-house plans spread the cost over months or years; expect interest after any promotional period.
- Lower-cost routes — dental school clinics, phasing treatment over time, choosing acrylic over zirconia, or an overdenture instead of a fixed bridge. Prices also vary widely by location: compare dental costs across all 50 states to see where full-arch work costs the least.
Dental savings plans
If you're uninsured, have maxed out your annual maximum, or only visit the dentist occasionally, a dental savings plan (a membership, not insurance) can cut 10–60% off the bill with no annual cap and no waiting period.
