All-on-4 is a full-arch option: four implants placed in the jaw, carrying a fixed arch of teeth. Published 2025-2026 United States cost guides put it at $15,000 - $30,000 per arch, with higher-end zirconia arches quoted above that.
This page is about the arch rather than the single tooth: what an All-on-4 plan is for, the published range, how the stages run from imaging to the final prosthesis, and the questions that decide whether two quotes are really for the same treatment. Every figure here is a published United States range from the 2025-2026 cost guides, not a Chicago price. We are a free matching service, not a practice: we introduce you to licensed local implant dentists, and the plan and the itemised fee come from the dentist.

All-on-4 is a way of rebuilding a whole arch of teeth on four implants instead of one implant per tooth. It tends to be discussed where most or all of the teeth in an arch are missing or failing, and where a removable denture is the other option on the table.
What decides whether it is a reasonable plan is not how many teeth are missing. It is the bone available at the four proposed sites, which is read from a CT scan and planning stage. Where the bone is too thin, a graft or a sinus lift comes first and has its own healing time before the implant stage begins. That is also why two people with a similar-looking smile can be quoted different numbers.
| Item | Published range |
|---|---|
| Full arch on four implants (All-on-4), per arch | $15,000 - $30,000 |
| Higher-end zirconia arches | Quoted above that |
| Bone graft or ridge augmentation, per site | $600 - $3,000 |
| CT scan and planning | $100 - $500 |
| Extraction of a failing tooth | $150 - $600 |
| Nitrous oxide, if sedation is used, per visit | $50 - $150 |
| Oral conscious sedation, per appointment | $150 - $500 |
| IV sedation, per visit | $250 - $1,000+ |
Those are published United States ranges from the 2025-2026 dental cost guides, not quotes from a Chicago practice. Arch quotes commonly bundle the surgery, the temporary teeth and the final prosthesis into one number, while other practices list every component, so the published range is only comparable once the itemisation sits beside it. Dental plans commonly cap implants at an annual maximum that covers only part of one, and some exclude them altogether.
The sequence looks the same whichever practice you see. Imaging and planning first, because that is what produces the number of implants and the plan itself. Any failing teeth come out, and any graft or sinus lift is done and given its own healing time.
The four implants are then placed surgically. Some full-arch cases load a temporary bridge on the day of surgery so the arch is not left open, and the final prosthesis follows once healing is complete. Osseointegration, the implant fusing with the bone, commonly takes three to six months, which is why a full-arch plan is measured in months rather than appointments. Ask directly what you would be wearing at each stage before you agree to the plan.
Cicero is bounded by the Stevenson (I-55) on its south side and the Eisenhower (I-290) on its northern edge, and the CTA's Pink Line terminates at 54th/Cermak inside the town. Metra's BNSF line also stops at Cicero on its way out to Aurora, and the Blue Line runs in the Eisenhower median to the north. Cermak Road and Ogden Avenue carry the traffic east into the city.
Cicero's dental and medical access leans on public and community providers. The Town of Cicero Health Department lists dental care among the services it offers residents, and Cook County Health runs a community health centre in town on West Cermak Road. The dental offices sit along Cermak Road, Cicero Avenue and Ogden Avenue, and they are largely general practices. For a surgical implant stage, patients here usually travel east into the city or west along the Eisenhower corridor to a periodontal or oral-surgery group.

What exactly does the quoted fee cover - the implant fixture, the abutment, the final teeth, or only part of that?
How many implants are you proposing, and what happens to the total if a graft or an extraction is added later?
Do I leave with teeth on the day of surgery, and is the temporary prosthesis included in the price?
Who makes the final teeth, and what material are they - acrylic, nano-ceramic or zirconia?
What is the warranty or remake policy on the prosthesis, and what maintenance is required each year?
Published 2025-2026 United States cost guides put a full arch on four implants at $15,000 - $30,000 per arch, with higher-end zirconia arches quoted above that. Where the CT shows the bone is too thin, a graft or sinus lift is commonly $600 - $3,000 per site, and CT scan and planning $100 - $500. The number that applies to your case is the dentist's itemised quote, and dental plans commonly cap implants at an annual maximum that covers only part of one.
That depends on the plan. Some full-arch cases load a temporary bridge on the day of surgery, and the final prosthesis follows once healing is complete. Ask what you would be wearing at each stage - the surgical visit, the healing months, and the fitting of the final teeth - and whether the temporary is inside the quoted fee, before you agree to a plan.
The usual sequence is placement, then a healing period while the implants fuse with the bone, which commonly takes three to six months, then the final prosthesis. Where a graft or sinus lift is needed, that step comes first and has its own healing time on top. The calendar for your own case is the dentist's to give, after the CT scan and planning stage.
