What are All-on-4 implants?

Before we begin, let's quickly go over exactly are All-on-4s are. All-on-4 implants are a type of dental implant that can be used to replace all of the teeth in your mouth.

Obviously, this is to be used in the most extreme situations, when none of your teeth are salvageable. You shouldn't get implants just because you don't like the look of a healthy tooth — instead, you should consider cosmetic fixes like veneers or crowns.

But, if it's medically necessary to replace all of your teeth, you may want to consider All-on-4s. That's because the problem with replacing all of the teeth in your mouth is that this would require up to 32 individual implants to be placed.

And with implants costing anywhere from $1,500 to $6,000 per tooth, that ends up being a lot of money. Plus you'll spend a lot of time at the dentist, and recovering afterward.

But, with All-on-4 implants, only 4 implants are placed per arch. The crowns are then connected to the implants, but instead of individual crowns, they are more like dental bridges. At around $15,000 per arch, this is far less expensive than individual implants, and you recover faster.

But, it's still really expensive.

Why go abroad for All-on-4 implants?

There are various reasons why you might want to go abroad to get dental implants:

• Cost
• Quality
• Safety
• Language
• Vacation opportunity

Let's have a closer look at these reasons now:

Cost

Even though All-on-4s are cheaper than individual dental implants for your entire arch or mouth, they are still pretty expensive — certainly more than the average American has tucked under their mattress.

In fact, while a full arch of individual dental implants can cost upwards of $40,000, an arch of All-on-4s can cost $15,000 in the US. So that would be $30,000 if you needed a full mouth.

But if you go overseas, you're looking at costs closer to $5,000 per arch for All-on-4s. That's still a lot of money, but it's much more manageable and can be financed with dental loans, or even dental insurance.

Quality

The quality of the dental implants you will receive abroad is the exact same as it would be in good clinics in the US. That's because the materials are the same, as clinics abroad use the same international brands that clinics in the US use.

Additionally, dentists abroad are well-qualified and licensed, and many of them even complete their training in the US. And if they don't, that's fine too because dental schools abroad are at least as rigorous as they are here.

Furthermore, dentists abroad have to offer the highest-quality care, because the biggest way they get customers is by word of mouth, so they can't afford to receive poor reviews.

Safety

Internationally accredited clinics will offer safe treatment just like you would get here at home. They comply with international sterilization protocols and, as we mentioned before, the materials are the same as in the US.

No language barrier

When you are looking for clinics abroad, you'll find that many of the dentists are fluent in English, and if not, they'll have staff and assistants that can translate.

Vacation

If you're up for it, you can choose a location that is also in a region where you would like to take a vacation. Many clinics are very close to resorts where you can recover on the beach — if that's something you're interested in.

Why are All-on-4 implants cheaper abroad?

So if the materials are the same, the quality is the same and the safety standards are the same as you would get in the US, then how is it that the treatment you receive is so much more affordable?

• Cost of living: The cost of living in many countries is much lower than it is in the United States. With a lower cost of living, dentists make less money, as do the staff in the clinics, without lowering their quality of life. Meanwhile, dentists in the US are some of the highest-paid professionals.
• Clinic overhead costs: The lower cost of living also means that clinics pay lower taxes, and lower costs in general for running a clinic. This also contributes to a lower overall cost of treatment for patients.

Top 4 cheapest places to get All-on-4 dental implants

Mexico

Mexico is one of the most popular countries for dental tourism for people from the US. In fact, Mexico hosts over one million medical tourists every year. And around 70% of those come from states along the border — California, Arizona, and Texas.

Most work that people get in Mexico includes veneers, braces, and of course, All-on-4 implants. People who go to Mexico for dental work are impressed by the standards of hygiene and the care they receive.

Mexico is such a popular destination, that there's even a town — Los Algodones — that has been nicknamed ‘Molar City' because it has more than 600 dentists in a town with fewer than 5,000 permanent residents.

Costa Rica isn't quite as convenient as a hop over the border to Mexico, but it's still a popular destination for American dental tourists and one of the cheapest countries for All-on-4 dental implants. It's also a great place to spend a longer vacation, as it's known for its natural beauty and luxury resorts.

90% of the patients they treat are foreigners, so the majority of dentists speak fluent English and have trained in the US.
