Full-arch decision guide

All-on-4 vs. All-on-6: the number is not the diagnosis.

More implants are not automatically better, and fewer are not automatically safer or cheaper. The design must follow anatomy, bone, bite, restoration and professional judgment.

Real starting points. A plan personalized to you.

These figures make early comparison easier. They are not one-size-fits-all packages or guaranteed final prices. A licensed dentist must review your records, imaging and clinical needs before confirming treatment and cost in writing.

Three-unit bridgeFrom $1,400

Final design and supporting-tooth condition require clinical evaluation.

Sinus liftFrom $1,200

Technique, graft material and anatomy determine the confirmed proposal.

Root canalFrom $450

All-on-6 Costa Rica costPersonalized quote

Implant distribution, bone, restoration design, materials and surgical needs must be reviewed before a meaningful price can be confirmed.

SedationFrom $600–$750

Preliminary range based on time under sedation; the provider confirms suitability, method, monitoring and total cost.

20 crowns or veneers$8,900–$9,500

A preliminary range; tooth-by-tooth findings and material choices control the final plan.

Why your personalized quote may change

Bone volume, active infection, extractions, grafting, sedation, implant system, restoration material, temporary teeth, laboratory design, number of visits and aftercare can change the total.

All-on-6, Mexico and Colombia

All-on-6 requires a case-specific proposal. Mexico pricing is being reviewed separately for major cities, beach destinations and border communities. Colombia pricing is also under regional review. We will not publish one national number until each starting point and its inclusions can be confirmed.

Transparency note: Prices are preliminary starting points or ranges in U.S. dollars, subject to provider confirmation and change. Flights, lodging and other travel services are separate unless a written proposal expressly includes them. Green Healthcare coordinates care; independent licensed providers diagnose, determine candidacy, treat and issue the final clinical quote.

Compare the design, not the label.

QuestionAll-on-4 discussionAll-on-6 discussion
Implant countFour implants are planned to support a full-arch restorationSix implants are planned to support a full-arch restoration
Clinical rationaleAsk how anatomy, angle, bone and prosthetic design support the proposalAsk whether added implants provide a specific benefit in your case and whether anatomy supports them
GraftingA plan may seek to use available bone, but “no graft” should never be assumedAdditional sites may raise different bone-volume or grafting questions
CostCompare the complete restoration, not just four fixturesConfirm whether added implants change surgery, components, restoration or follow-up
Backup planAsk what happens if stability, healing or implant placement differs from the preliminary plan.

The quote must name every stage.

Diagnostics

Examination, CBCT, records and medical review.

Questions patients should ask

Does All-on-6 last longer than All-on-4?

A label alone cannot predict an individual outcome. Design, anatomy, surgical and restorative execution, health, hygiene, bite and maintenance all matter.

Can either option be completed in one trip?

Some pathways advertise immediate teeth, but temporary and final restorations may be different stages. Obtain a written visit-by-visit timeline.

What if bone grafting is needed?

Ask where, why, how it changes healing and trips, what it costs, and whether other clinically appropriate designs exist.

Compare the reason behind the recommendation.
