How much do All-on-4 dental implants cost in Houston? The average cost ranges from $25,000 to $40,000 per arch. At Texas Dental Implant Center, permanent All-on-X teeth — which include 4 to 6 implants customized to your anatomy — start at $16,999 per arch. This includes all implants, abutments, temporary teeth placed the same day as surgery, and the final prosthesis. Dr. Michel Azer, a board-certified periodontist, provides a complete cost breakdown at your free consultation with no hidden fees.
Why the Wide Price Range?
What's included in the quote varies dramatically. Some practices advertise a low number that only covers the implants — not the abutments, temporary teeth, or final prosthesis. Others quote an all-inclusive price. Always ask what's included before comparing numbers.
Provider type affects pricing. Multi-provider clinics with high overhead pass those costs on to patients. A specialist-focused practice like TDIC operates with lower overhead while delivering specialist-level care.
Material choices impact cost. An acrylic prosthesis costs less than zirconia. Both are effective, but zirconia is more durable and natural-looking.
Geographic location matters. Houston pricing tends to be lower than NYC or LA, but higher than smaller markets.
What's Included at $16,999/Arch at TDIC
Included: All implants (4–6, based on your anatomy), all abutments, temporary teeth placed the same day as surgery, the final prosthesis, 3D CBCT scan and digital treatment planning, and all follow-up appointments during healing.
Not included (because they vary by patient): bone grafting if needed, IV sedation if preferred, and extractions if damaged teeth need to be removed. These are quoted separately at your consultation so there are no surprises.
All-on-4 vs All-on-X: What's the Difference?
All-on-4 is a brand-name protocol that uses exactly 4 implants per arch. All-on-X is a customized approach where the number of implants — typically 4 to 6 — is determined by your specific bone anatomy.
At Texas Dental Implant Center, Dr. Azer uses the All-on-X approach. The pricing is the same regardless of whether you receive 4, 5, or 6 implants — starting at $16,999 per arch.
