All on 4 is a treatment solution for patients who are missing teeth or have hopeless dentition requiring extraction. However, It is not the only treatment modality, even though it has become popular.
Before I discuss the All on 4 Dental Implant Costs in Thailand, let me review the Advantages and Disadvantages of All on 4; Regardless of whether you are looking to have All on 4 treatment done near home or considering traveling to Thailand to save on the cost of treatment.
The Advantages of All On 4 Dental Implants
- Quick treatment solution from no teeth to a complete set of teeth ( 20-24 teeth ) in 24 hours or less
- Fewer dental implants, saving patients on the cost of dental implant materials
- Perfect solution for patients who have insufficient bone as the implants are placed in angle avoiding areas lacking bone and vital structures
- Most treatments can be done under local anesthesia or if patients prefer, under oral or IV sedation.
- Patients rarely go without teeth past 24 hours, and the transformation is life-changing resulting in happy tears and hugs.
The Disadvantages of All On 4 Dental Implants
- It is a complex treatment, and it requires a highly skilled surgeon, a prosthodontist, and a laboratory technician to work as a team within a concise amount of time. Sometimes the Surgeon and the Prosthodontist can be the same dentist.
- Because an entire dental bridge ( 20-24 teeth ) is placed over four dental implants, and if one of the dental implants fails, it would require redoing the entire bridge. To learn more about the causes of dental implant failure, please read my blog here.
- Most patients require two sets of teeth despite many clinics claiming that one set of dental bridges is sufficient for a very long time. Many factors will dictate whether or not two bridges are required. For example, the patient’s overall biting forces, the thickness of the acrylic, and finally, the patients’ overall budget and the type of teeth they require as a final set. ( Denture teeth are much quicker to fabricate and cost less than all four bridges made from porcelain crowns.
All on 4 Dental Implants Costs in Thailand can range from USD 8,500- USD 15,000 ( AU$11,500-$20,500 ) per jaw. The All On 4 Cost in USA ranges from $20,000 – $50,000 and in Australia can range from $15,000 – $55,000 Per jaw.
When comparing prices, there are several factors patients must bear in mind, and also be sure to compare apples to apples regardless of shopping for a dentist near home or overseas.
But generally, If patients are looking to travel to an exotic place, then getting their All on 4 in Thailand and save, is a great option. They can find many highly skilled dentists through our platform, DentistConsultationHub.com, and our internal dental team can monitor many aspects of their treatment.
However, if a patient is considering traveling to Thailand solely to save on treatment costs, finding a local dentist via our platform ( Australia and Singapore, Other markets coming soon) is probably the wisest choice. Once adding the cost of travel, accommodation, visas, quarantine, and the inconvenience of any complication that may arise, it is best to pay a little more and have their All On $ treatment completed near home.
All on 4 Dental Implant Costs in Thailand-Comparing Apples to Apples
Often, patients see a marketing piece advertising the Cost of All on 4, and they will question why one clinic charges less or more for the same procedure. Finding the cost of complex dental treatments is no different than when shopping for a brand new car.
The price of a brand new car may vary by up to 30 % with more features. So I like to educate patients who visit our platform as to what questions to ask when it comes to comparing the All On 4 Cost in Australia, the USA, Singapore, and Canada with All on 4 Dental Implants Costs in Thailand.
List of questions to ask
- Does the Cost for All On 4 include one dental bridge or 2 dental bridges?
- If the cost of All on 4 is for a single dental bridge, is this bridge made from a) All Acrylic, b) A combination of metal ( Semi-precious or precious metal )and acrylic, c) A milled Titanium Bar and Acrylic?
- If All on 4 Cost is for two dental bridges, what is the first dental bridge made of, and what is the material used in the second dental bridge?
