Quick answer: All-on-4 replaces a full arch of missing or failing teeth with a fixed, non-removable bridge anchored on just four implants, done in a single surgical sitting with a temporary set of teeth fitted the same day. Market rates in Kolkata for a single-arch All-on-4 case typically start near ₹2,50,000 and vary with implant brand and crown material — contact the clinic for a personalised, written quote after your CBCT scan.
Why All-on-4 instead of individual implants for every tooth
Replacing 10-14 missing teeth one implant at a time would mean 10+ surgical sites, months of healing, and a bill that adds up fast. All-on-4 uses the jaw’s strongest bone — found at specific angles near the front and sides — to support a full arch on just four implants, which is why it costs less than replacing each tooth individually and heals faster too. If you’re missing most of your teeth on a jaw, don’t accept a per-tooth implant quote without also asking what All-on-4 would cost for the same result.
What actually changes the price
- Implant brand — an established international brand costs more upfront than a domestic brand, but the failure/revision rate difference is real and worth asking about directly.
- Final prosthesis material — an acrylic hybrid bridge is the entry option; zirconia costs more but holds colour and wears better over the years.
- Bone grafting, if needed — assessed on the first CBCT visit, not guessed over the phone.
- One jaw vs. both jaws — a full-mouth case roughly doubles the implant count, not necessarily the total cost, since the surgical visit is shared.
The process, step by step
- Consultation and 3D scan (CBCT) — checks bone density and plans exact implant angles before any surgery is booked.
- Surgery day — four implants placed per arch under local anaesthesia; a temporary fixed bridge is attached the same day.
- Healing period — typically 3-6 months for the implants to fuse with bone (osseointegration), during which the temporary bridge functions normally.
- Final bridge fitting — the permanent zirconia or hybrid bridge replaces the temporary one once healing is confirmed.
Frequently asked questions
How much does full mouth All-on-4 cost in Kolkata?
Market rates in Kolkata for a single-arch All-on-4 case start near ₹2,50,000 and vary with implant brand and crown material. Ask for a written, itemised quote after your consultation rather than a number over the phone — WhatsApp +91 86170 30858 for a same-day CBCT consultation.
Is All-on-4 painful?
The surgery itself is done under local anaesthesia, so you won’t feel it happening. Mild swelling and soreness for 3-5 days afterward is normal and manageable with prescribed medication — most patients are back to a soft-food diet within 48 hours.
How is this different from dentures?
All-on-4 is fixed — it doesn’t come out, doesn’t need adhesive, and doesn’t slip while eating or talking. Dentures rest on the gums and can shift; an All-on-4 bridge is screwed into the implants and stays put.
How long do All-on-4 implants last?
The implants themselves, with reasonable care, are built to last 15-20+ years. The prosthetic bridge on top may need replacement or relining once in that time depending on wear and material chosen.
Can I get All-on-4 if I’ve been without teeth for years?
In most cases yes, though longer edentulous periods usually mean more bone loss — exactly what the CBCT scan checks for at the first visit, which decides whether a graft is needed.
A question we get asked often: “How much in Kolkata does a dental surgeon charge for implanting any tooth?” The honest answer is that a single-tooth implant and a full-arch All-on-4 case are priced completely differently, which is why we recommend a proper consultation over a phone-quoted number for anything beyond one tooth.
