Pee Dee Implant Center places All-on-4 dental implants in Florence, South Carolina for patients across the Pee Dee region. All-on-4 carries a complete fixed arch of teeth on four implants. The front two go in vertically, the back two are angled up to 45 degrees so they anchor in the bone that survives at the front of the jaw rather than the resorbed bone at the back. That angulation is what lets most patients skip grafting entirely.
How much does All-on-4 cost in Florence, SC?
$20,000 to $30,000 per arch, and $35,000 to $55,000 for both arches. The figure covers four implants, the multi-unit abutments, a fixed temporary arch fitted on surgery day and the final prosthesis. Acrylic final arches sit at the lower end, zirconia at the upper. What moves the price most is the final material, not the surgery.
Do I need bone grafting for All-on-4?
Usually not. The technique exists specifically to avoid it. Angling the posterior implants forward puts them into the anterior maxilla or the mandible between the mental foramina, where bone persists longest after teeth are lost. That is the same bone a sinus lift would otherwise be built to reach around. Where even that bone is gone, bone grafting or zygomatic anchorage becomes the route instead.
Do I get teeth the same day?
Yes. A fixed temporary arch is screwed onto the implants at the end of the surgery, so you leave with teeth. This works because four implants splinted together share load, which lets each one tolerate immediate function. The permanent arch is fitted four to six months later once osseointegration completes. Related: same-day dental implants.
All-on-4 or implant dentures?
All-on-4 is fixed. You do not take it out, it delivers close to natural chewing force, and it covers no palate. Implant-supported dentures cost a third to a half as much, clip out for cleaning, and sit lower on chewing force. The honest deciding factor is hygiene: cleaning under a fixed arch with a water flosser every single day is not optional, and peri-implantitis affects 10 to 20 percent of implants over ten years. Our snap-in dentures versus All-on-4 comparison covers the tradeoff in full.
How long does All-on-4 last?
The implants themselves show 94 to 98 percent survival at ten years. The prosthesis on top is the wearing part: an acrylic arch is typically replaced at seven to ten years, zirconia at fifteen or more. Budgeting for one arch replacement across the life of the treatment is realistic.
Technician insight
The question worth asking any practice quoting All-on-4 is what the final arch is made of and when they expect to replace it. A $20,000 quote on acrylic and a $28,000 quote on zirconia are not the same treatment, and the cheaper one carries a replacement cost inside ten years that the quote does not mention.
