Select One Or Two Arches
Choose a single upper/lower arch, full-mouth two-arch treatment, an itemized estimate or your dentist's quote.
Estimate the possible cost of All-on-6 dental implants for one arch or both arches. Start with a current U.S. planning reference, add only the extractions, grafting, imaging, sedation or prosthetic fees relevant to your case, then model possible insurance benefits and a simple monthly budget.
Use the national planning preset, build a detailed estimate, or enter your dentist's own quote. Example numbers shown inside blank fields are placeholders only.
Start with the current CareCredit national average planning figure for All-on-6 per jaw, then add only the optional costs relevant to your treatment plan.

This figure separates the six implant supports, the full-arch prosthesis and the common cost layers that may be bundled or billed separately.
The exact implant positions and prosthetic design are determined clinically. This diagram is a budgeting illustration, not a surgical map.
Important: an All-on-6 package may already include extractions, a temporary prosthesis, final teeth, imaging or sedation. Do not add the same service twice. Use an itemized written treatment plan whenever possible.
An All-on-6 Dental Implant Cost Calculator should separate the main full-arch restoration from procedures that may or may not be included in the package. The base fee can cover six implant fixtures and a fixed arch restoration, but practices differ on whether consultation, CBCT imaging, extractions, grafting, sedation, temporary teeth, final prosthetic material, follow-up adjustments and maintenance are bundled.
This calculator therefore gives you two ways to work: use a national planning reference when you are still researching, or replace it with your dentist's written fee as soon as you have one. The result is designed for budgeting, not diagnosis or treatment selection.
There is no single U.S. fee that applies to every All-on-6 case. CareCredit's current dental procedure cost list shows an average All-on-6 cost of $29,980, and its cost explorer labels the procedure per jaw. That makes $29,980 a useful national planning reference for one arch, not a guaranteed local price. Geographic market, provider fees, bone condition, extraction needs, anesthesia, implant system, temporary restoration and final prosthetic material can all move a real quote higher or lower.
Published clinic fees also show why the package definition matters. One provider may advertise a figure that includes six implants, sedation, same-day provisional teeth and final zirconia, while another may quote the implant surgery separately from the provisional and final prosthesis. Compare the complete scope, not just the headline number.
| Planning Scenario | Reference Amount | What To Confirm |
|---|---|---|
| One All-on-6 arch | CareCredit current U.S. average: $29,980 per jaw | Whether surgery, temporary teeth, final prosthesis, imaging, grafting and sedation are included. |
| Both arches | Simple planning baseline: about $59,960 before case-specific extras | Whether the provider offers a two-arch package or prices upper and lower arches independently. |
| Custom provider quote | Use the written treatment-plan fee | Whether the quote is all-inclusive or has staged surgical and restorative charges. |
Budgeting rule: use the national figure only until you receive an itemized local proposal. A dentist's written plan is more useful because it tells you exactly which surgical and prosthetic services are included.
Choose a single upper/lower arch, full-mouth two-arch treatment, an itemized estimate or your dentist's quote.
Enter extraction, graft, imaging, sedation, temporary-teeth or prosthetic upgrade costs only when they are not already included.
Select a simple coverage assumption or use your own quote with deductible and remaining annual maximum fields.
Compare treatment total, possible benefit, estimated patient amount and a monthly division that excludes financing interest.
If your treatment proposal says “all-inclusive,” ask the office to explain exactly what that means before entering add-ons. Double-counting temporary teeth, grafting or extractions can make an online estimate look much higher than the actual proposal.
All-on-6 is a full-arch implant concept in which a fixed prosthesis is supported by six dental implants in one jaw. It is used to replace an upper or lower arch of missing or failing teeth, but the exact implant positions, surgical sequence and restorative design vary by patient and clinician.
Six implant fixtures are planned across one jaw to support a connected full-arch restoration. Placement is based on anatomy, bone and prosthetic requirements.
The visible replacement teeth are connected as one prosthetic arch rather than as six individual crowns. Temporary and final restorations may be separate treatment stages.
CBCT imaging, bone quality, bite, remaining teeth, gum condition, overall health and restorative space can influence candidacy and design.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's dental implant overview explains that implant bodies are surgically inserted into the jaw and support artificial teeth through an abutment connection. The FDA also emphasizes discussing health, benefits, risks and the specific implant system with your dental provider.
The All-on-6 dental implant cost can change substantially even when two patients are replacing the same arch. The total reflects both surgical complexity and the design/material of the final restoration.
All-on-4 and All-on-6 are both full-arch implant approaches, but they use different numbers of implant supports. More implants can change surgery, component cost and restorative planning, yet the number alone does not determine which design is clinically appropriate.
| Comparison | All-on-6 | All-on-4 |
|---|---|---|
| Implants supporting one arch | Six implants | Four implants |
| Current CareCredit average | $29,980 per jaw in current dental cost list | $15,176 average per arch in CareCredit's April 2026 guide |
| Clinical selection | Depends on anatomy, bone, restorative design and provider plan | Also depends on anatomy, bone, restorative design and provider plan |
| Cost comparison | Can be higher because of additional implants/components and package design | Can be lower, but package inclusions and final materials must still be compared |
Do not choose by implant count alone: a dentist or specialist must determine the appropriate number and location of implants after examination and imaging. A lower price or a greater number of fixtures does not by itself establish the best treatment.
For a dedicated four-implant comparison, use the All-on-4 Dental Implant Cost Calculator.
Dental implants require adequate bone support. Some patients can proceed without grafting, while others may need socket grafts, ridge augmentation or other procedures before or during implant placement. The amount of grafting depends on the location and size of the bone deficiency, treatment plan and surgical approach.
Add the graft fee only if your treatment proposal lists it separately from the All-on-6 package. Enter the total quoted amount rather than guessing a national price.
Some full-arch packages include limited grafting. If the written package already includes it, leave the calculator's graft field at zero to avoid double-counting.
Cleveland Clinic's dental bone graft overview explains that grafting can increase jawbone volume and may be used to support dental implants. For a separate budgeting tool, see the Dental Bone Graft Cost Calculator.
One of the biggest reasons full-arch quotes look different is that the restorative phase is not always packaged the same way. A treatment may include a same-day or early provisional prosthesis and then a final prosthesis after healing. Another quote may list the temporary restoration, final bridge and material upgrade as separate line items.
Temporary fixed teeth may be provided during healing when the clinical plan supports immediate or early loading. Confirm whether this is included.
The definitive bridge is delivered after the appropriate healing/restorative stage. Laboratory design and material can be a major portion of the fee.
Ask what future screw checks, hygiene appointments, repairs, relines, replacements or prosthetic maintenance are expected and how they are billed.
Sometimes, but benefit design varies widely. Dental plans may exclude implants, cover only certain components, base reimbursement on an allowed fee, or limit payment through a deductible and annual maximum. The American Dental Association notes that annual maximums and other cost-containment features are common in dental benefit plans.
Because an All-on-6 treatment can cost far more than a typical annual dental maximum, even a plan that recognizes implant services may pay only a small share of the complete case. Use the calculator's insurance field as a planning scenario, not a promise of reimbursement.
Waiting periods, missing-tooth exclusions, alternate benefits, network contracts, allowed amounts, annual maximums, coordination of benefits and changes in eligibility can all affect the actual claim. Ask the dental office to submit a pre-treatment estimate when appropriate and verify benefits directly with the insurer.
Read the American Dental Association overview of typical dental plan benefits and limitations for common benefit-plan concepts.
Full-arch implant treatment is a large planned expense. Patients may compare cash savings, eligible HSA/FSA funds, office payment schedules, dental benefits and third-party financing. The monthly amount shown in this calculator is intentionally simple: it divides the estimated patient responsibility by the selected number of months.
That number is not a financing quote. It does not include APR, deferred-interest terms, origination fees, credit approval, promotional expiration dates or other lender conditions. Compare the total amount repaid—not only the monthly payment.
Planning idea: calculate three scenarios: no insurance, your estimated insurance contribution and the insurer's pre-treatment estimate. Then compare those patient amounts using a realistic payment period.

A $20,000 headline quote and a $30,000 quote cannot be compared fairly until you know whether they include the same surgical and restorative services. Use an itemized checklist before deciding which proposal is actually less expensive.
| Question To Ask | Why It Matters | Possible Cost Area |
|---|---|---|
| Is the price per arch or for both arches? | Prevents a one-jaw figure from being compared with a full-mouth package. | Base treatment scope |
| Are all six implant fixtures and restorative components included? | Confirms whether the advertised figure is complete or partial. | Surgery and components |
| Are extractions included? | Remaining failing teeth may require additional surgical procedures. | Surgical preparation |
| Is bone grafting included? | Limited grafting may be bundled while larger augmentation may be separate. | Bone preparation |
| Are temporary fixed teeth included? | The provisional arch can be a separate restorative phase. | Laboratory/prosthetic fee |
| What material is the final prosthesis? | Material and framework choices can change the definitive restoration fee. | Final prosthesis |
| Is sedation/anesthesia included? | Anesthesia services may be billed separately. | Surgical appointment |
| What follow-up and maintenance is included? | Long-term care and adjustments can affect future ownership cost. | Aftercare |
Dental implant treatment is a multi-stage process. The FDA notes that implant healing can take several months or longer, and the final artificial teeth are attached after the implant process reaches the appropriate stage. Full-arch workflows can vary, especially when extractions and provisional teeth are involved.
Clinical examination and imaging are used to assess bone, anatomy, remaining teeth and restorative space.
Extractions, grafting when needed and placement of six implants occur according to the surgical plan.
A temporary prosthesis may be used when the case meets the provider's loading criteria.
After healing and restorative verification, the definitive full-arch prosthesis is fabricated, delivered and adjusted.
Ask when deposits and stage payments are due. Some offices collect separate surgical and restorative fees; others use package billing.
Cost should not determine treatment by itself. Dental implants can restore chewing and appearance and support artificial teeth, but they also involve surgery and long-term maintenance. The FDA lists potential complications such as infection, injury to surrounding structures, implant loosening or failure, bite problems, nerve-related symptoms and difficulty cleaning around implants.
Overall health, smoking, bone, gum condition and oral hygiene can affect healing and long-term outcomes. A dentist or specialist must decide whether an All-on-6 design is appropriate after examining you and reviewing relevant imaging.
Why are six implants recommended for my arch? What alternatives exist? Are extractions or grafting needed? What implant system will be used? What temporary teeth are planned? What is the final prosthesis made from? What is included in the written fee? What happens if an implant fails to integrate? What cleaning and maintenance will I need? How often should the prosthesis be professionally checked?
This calculator is a budgeting model rather than a real-time quote engine. Its preset uses the current CareCredit dental procedure cost listing of $29,980 for All-on-6 dental implants, shown in CareCredit's dental cost explorer as an All-on-6 per-jaw procedure. The calculator multiplies that planning figure by the arch scope selected and then adds only the optional fees entered by the user.

For the custom-quote panel, insurance is modeled as a percentage of the quoted amount remaining after the entered deductible and is capped by the entered remaining annual maximum when a maximum is supplied. All other panels use a simpler percentage model. Real claims can use allowed fees and plan rules that differ from this simplified formula.
Common questions about All-on-6 cost, one vs two arches, insurance, add-on procedures and using the estimate responsibly.
CareCredit's current dental cost list shows a national average of $29,980 for All-on-6 dental implants, and its cost explorer labels the procedure per jaw. A local quote may be higher or lower depending on what is included and the complexity of treatment.
Multiplying the $29,980 per-jaw planning figure by two gives about $59,960 before any separately billed extractions, grafting, anesthesia, temporary teeth or prosthetic upgrades. This is a mathematical planning baseline, not a treatment quote.
No. Optional procedure fields are blank. Add those costs only if your written treatment plan lists them separately. Example values inside empty fields are placeholders only.
No. The six implants support a connected full-arch restoration. The prosthesis replaces an arch of teeth rather than placing one crown on each of the six implants.
Not automatically. The appropriate number and placement of implants depend on anatomy, bone, restorative design, health and clinician judgment. Cost is only one factor.
Some patients may need grafting while others may not. Add a graft fee only when a dental professional has included it in your treatment plan.
Coverage is plan-specific. Some plans may exclude implants or limit payment through allowed fees, deductibles, annual maximums, waiting periods and other restrictions.
A real plan may apply its percentage to an allowed fee rather than the dentist's full charge and may stop payment at the remaining annual maximum. The calculator's insurance result is only a simplified model.
No. It simply divides the estimated patient responsibility by the selected number of months. APR, promotional financing, deferred interest, fees and credit approval are not included.
Ask about consultation, imaging, extractions, grafting, six implant fixtures, abutment/restorative components, sedation, provisional teeth, final prosthesis material, follow-up adjustments and maintenance.
Yes. Use the Dentist Quote tab to enter the complete quoted amount, then optionally model a coverage percentage, deductible, remaining annual maximum and monthly planning period.
No. The CareCredit figure is a national cost reference, not a guarantee about the services or materials included in a particular provider's package. Confirm the final prosthetic material directly with the dental office.
No. It is educational information and a budgeting tool. A licensed dental professional who has examined you must determine whether implants are appropriate and what treatment is needed.
Use these three related tools when comparing another full-arch option, planning grafting, or reviewing payment affordability.
Start with one or two arches, add only the fees that are actually separate in your treatment plan, and create a clearer budget before comparing provider quotes.
