All-on-4 Dental Implants in Frisco, TX
All on 4 dental implants carry a whole arch on four to six implants, fixed in place. The biggest treatment in dentistry — which is exactly why this page spends as much time on who it is wrong for.
How full-arch implants are planned and placed
This is a long treatment with a lot of decisions in it. The consultation exists to work through them with you, unhurried.
A 3D scan (CBCT) and an honest assessment
Bone height, width, density and the position of the nerve and sinus, in three dimensions. This decides whether four implants is realistic, whether six is more appropriate, and whether grafting is needed first. It sometimes also decides whether a different treatment is the better answer for you.
Deciding between full-arch implants and other options
A fixed full arch is not the only way to solve a failing or missing dentition. A conventional denture, or a denture retained by two implants, solves the same problem at very different cost and complexity. We will lay out all three before recommending one.
Tooth removal, if needed, and the plan for it
Where teeth are still present and cannot be kept, their removal is planned as part of the case from the start, because how they come out affects the bone that has to hold the implants.
Implant placement by Dr. Louie
Four to six implants placed into planned positions, usually angled at the back to make use of available bone and reduce the need for grafting. Under local anesthetic, with IV sedation available and commonly chosen for a procedure of this length.
Healing, and what you wear during it
Bone integrates with the implants over several months. A provisional arch keeps you covered throughout — planned as part of the treatment, with exactly what it will be set out before you start.
The final arch of teeth by Dr. Peravali
Made from digital scans, tried in and adjusted for fit, bite and appearance before it is finished. The restoration is done here, by your own dentist, in the same building where the surgery was done.
How All-on-4 works and where it happens in Frisco
Why four implants can carry a whole arch
The idea behind All-on-4 is angulation. Placing the two back implants at an angle lets them engage bone toward the front of the jaw, where bone is usually better preserved. It also lets them reach further back along the arch than an upright implant could. That does two things. It spreads the load across a wider span. It also frequently avoids the grafting or sinus surgery that upright placement in the back of an atrophic jaw would require. It is a well-established approach and it is why a treatment this large can often skip months of preliminary bone work. Whether four is right for you, or six is more appropriate, is decided by what the scan shows about your bone. It is not decided by the name of the technique.
Where we are in Frisco, TX
This is a treatment White Lotus offers: Dr. Louie places the implants and Dr. Peravali restores the arch. It is also a treatment we are early in offering it here, and we would rather write that than let you assume otherwise. What carries it is not a case count at this practice — it is the two people doing it. Dr. Louie is a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology and a member of the Academy of Osseointegration. His Master of Science research was on titanium implants, presented at that academy's annual meeting, and full-arch surgery is within his routine scope. Dr. Peravali trained in full-arch restoration during her general practice residency and restored a number of cases there. That is where the training and the hands-on experience come from, and it has not been a treatment she has offered in the years since. Both of those sentences are true and we are not going to publish only the first one. If having your case done somewhere with a long local photo gallery matters to you, that is a completely reasonable thing to want. Ask us directly at the consultation and we will answer straight.
All-on-4, All-on-X, permanent dentures: one idea, several names
Patients search for this under many names. All-on-4, All-on-X, full arch implants, full mouth implants and permanent dentures all point to the same idea: a full arch of fixed teeth carried on four to six implants. All-on-4 is the original name and means four implants per arch. All-on-X simply allows five or six when your scan says that suits your bone better. A denture that clips onto two implants and comes out at night is a different, smaller treatment.

Four questions to ask anyone offering you full arch (All-on-4) implants
This is the largest treatment in dentistry and the one most heavily marketed. Some of that marketing is from excellent clinicians and some of it is from operations built to sell one procedure. These four questions separate them, and they work anywhere.
1. “What are my other options, and what do they cost?” A fixed arch, a denture retained by implants, and a conventional denture solve the same problem at wildly different prices. A practice that will only quote the largest one is showing you a menu — advice would look different.
2. “Who is placing the implants, who is restoring them, and what are their credentials?” These are two different jobs and they are often done by two different people. You are entitled to know who both are before you commit.
3. “What exactly will I be wearing while it heals, and is that written into the plan?” “Teeth in a day” means different things in different practices. Get the specifics for your own case in writing.
4. “What does maintenance cost, and what do I have to do daily?” A fixed arch has to be cleaned underneath every day and removed professionally for cleaning periodically. Those are ongoing commitments, and they should be part of the conversation before you decide and not after.
If you are still weighing the options, our pages on dental implants, implant-supported dentures and complete dentures set out the alternatives. Bone grafting and sinus lift explains what happens when the scan shows the bone needs help first.
Ask us all four. Then ask whoever else you are considering.

You get the figure in writing before treatment starts. We accept all major PPO plans and file the claim for you, our membership plan takes a percentage off treatment, and CareCredit financing is available.
How plans usually cover full-arch implants.
Major — Class III on most plans
- What plans pay
- Commonly around 50% once the deductible is met, which means full-arch implants is the kind of treatment where the plan covers about half and the annual maximum decides the rest.
- Deductible
- Usually applies, and for major work it is rarely waived.
What catches people out
- Waiting periods. Six or twelve months of holding the policy before major work is covered is common, and it catches people who have just changed employer.
- The annual maximum. At around 50%, one major procedure can consume most of a $1,000 to $2,000 benefit by itself — which is why the order treatment is done in matters.
- Frequency limits by tooth. "Once every five years" or "once every seven years" is standard wording, and it counts from the date of the last one wherever it was done.
- The missing tooth clause. Many plans refuse to pay to replace a tooth that was already missing before the policy began — even years later, and even where implants and bridges are otherwise covered. It surprises people more than any other clause, and we check for it before anything is planned.
- A full-arch case exceeds any annual maximum on its own, several times over. The benefit is a small amount toward it — far short of a meaningful share — and sequencing across plan years is worth discussing openly.
These are how dental plans usually classify this treatment — not a statement about your own plan. Yours is the one that governs, plans differ more than people expect, and the only reliable answer comes from reading your specific benefits, which we always do ahead of treatment and give you in writing.
And what changes out-of-network
What it costs here
$18,000 to $24,000 per arch
Our own fee range, published because no plan pays toward full-arch implants and there is therefore no payer figure to quote instead. Where you land in it depends on the case, and you get one written figure before anything starts.
A dentist who is in-network has signed a contract fixing what may be charged for each procedure and cannot bill you the difference. One who is out-of-network has signed nothing, so the full fee stands.
So the first difference is the price itself — the same treatment is simply allowed to cost more out-of-network, before anyone's plan is considered.
What you personally pay out of that depends on your own deductible and coinsurance, which is why there is no percentage here: it is not a property of the treatment, it is a property of your plan, and we verify yours before you commit. But two things follow for everybody. Your share is a share of a bigger number. And your annual maximum is spent by what the plan pays toward that bigger number, so the same treatment eats more of your benefit out-of-network.
Check the going rate yourself
FAIR Health's dental cost lookup is free, needs no account, and is not ours — it reports what a procedure typically costs in your area. It does not know your plan, so treat it as a ballpark figure — not a final answer.
Ask us for the number first
We verify your specific plan before your appointment and give you a written estimate: what the plan is expected to pay, and what you pay. If we get it wrong we tell you why.
Bring an Explanation of Benefits
Treated somewhere else? Your EOB shows exactly what the plan paid and what it counted against your maximum. Bring one in and we will read it with you — whether or not you become a patient here.
None of this says out-of-network dentists are worse dentists. Plenty are excellent, plenty are out-of-network for sound reasons, and people choose a dentist for who that person is. What we think you are owed is the information, so that whatever you choose, you chose it knowingly. The whole thing, explained properly, or call (469) 262-2111 and ask.
Full-arch implant timeline: several months, stage by stage
- ConsultationScan, options, and a written plan
All three routes costed where they genuinely apply. Nothing is scheduled at this appointment.
- Surgery dayExtractions and placement
A long appointment, commonly under IV sedation. Someone drives you home and stays with you.
- Weeks 1–2Soft diet and healing
Swelling peaks around forty-eight hours. No smoking — it is the single largest risk to implants integrating.
- Months 3–6Implants bond with the bone (integration)
Bone locks onto the implants. This is the part that cannot be hurried, and nothing is asked of you except patience and careful hygiene.
- The final archMaking, trying in and fitting your new arch
Digital scans, a try-in, and adjustment for fit, bite and appearance before it is finished.
- Every year, permanentlyWhy full-arch checkups and cleanings matter
The arch is removed by us periodically for cleaning underneath, and the gum and bone around each implant are checked. Implants do not decay; the bone around them can be lost to the same bacteria that cause gum disease.
