Dental Implants in Lawrenceville, NJ

All-on-4 uses four implants to support a full arch of fixed teeth, with two posterior implants angled at 30 to 45 degrees to maximize bone contact and often avoid bone grafting. All-on-6 adds two additional implants for enhanced stability and better force distribution across the arch. The key clinical differences: All-on-4 works well for patients with moderate bone loss because the angled implants engage denser anterior bone. All-on-6 provides 50% more implant support and built-in redundancy, meaning that if one implant ever has an issue decades from now, the remaining five still support your teeth. Dr. Godko typically recommends All-on-6 for patients who clench or grind their teeth, have stronger bite forces, or want maximum long-term security. Both options deliver same-day teeth through the Teeth—The Same Day protocol at our Lawrenceville office. The best choice depends on your bone density, bite force, and treatment goals — all of which Dr. Godko evaluates using 3D cone-beam CT imaging during your $1 consultation.

The average cost of full-arch dental implants in New Jersey ranges from $20,000 to $35,000 per arch, depending on the number of implants, whether bone grafting is needed, and the type of final prosthesis you choose. Zirconia prosthetics cost more than high-grade acrylic but offer superior durability and a more natural appearance. A complete upper and lower full-arch restoration ranges from $40,000 to $70,000. At Deluxe Dentistry in Lawrenceville, full-arch dental implants start at $20,000 per arch. While this is a significant investment, consider the long-term comparison: traditional dentures cost $2,000 to $5,000 every 5 to 7 years, require adhesive, need periodic relining, and accelerate jawbone loss that changes your facial appearance over time. Over a 20-year period, full-arch dental implants often cost the same or less than repeated denture replacements — while delivering dramatically better quality of life. Cherry financing at Deluxe Dentistry offers 0% APR payment plans, making full-arch solutions accessible to patients throughout Mercer County. Whether you are coming from Princeton, Hamilton, Trenton, or Ewing, our team works with you to find a payment structure that fits your budget.

Full-arch dental implants and traditional dentures serve the same purpose — replacing a full set of teeth — but the experience and outcomes are dramatically different. Here is what patients at Deluxe Dentistry in Lawrenceville report after switching from dentures to full-arch implants. Full-arch implants restore 90% or more of your natural chewing force, while traditional dentures restore only 20% to 25%. This means you can eat steak, apples, corn on the cob, and other foods that denture wearers avoid. Full-arch implants are permanently fixed to your jawbone and never move, slip, or require adhesive. You brush them like natural teeth and never remove them at night. Most importantly, dental implants stimulate and preserve your jawbone, while dentures accelerate bone loss that causes the sunken facial appearance many long-term denture wearers develop. For patients over 65 in the Lawrenceville area who have been wearing dentures for years and are frustrated with slipping, sore spots, and dietary restrictions, full-arch dental implants are often the most life-changing dental procedure they have ever experienced.

Yes, and this is one of the most common concerns Dr. Godko addresses at Deluxe Dentistry in Lawrenceville — especially for patients over 60 who have been missing teeth or wearing dentures for years. The All-on-4 technique was specifically designed for patients with bone loss. The two posterior implants are tilted at precise angles to engage the denser bone at the front of your jaw, often eliminating the need for bone grafting entirely. For patients with severe bone loss who may not be candidates for standard All-on-4, Dr. Godko offers several advanced solutions: bone grafting to rebuild lost jawbone, internal sinus lifts to create bone height in the upper jaw, ridge splitting to expand narrow bone ridges, and an All-on-X approach where implants are positioned wherever your strongest bone exists. A 3D cone-beam CT scan at our Lawrenceville office reveals exactly how much bone you have at every position and which approach will give you the strongest, most long-lasting result. Even patients who have been told by other practices that they are not candidates for dental implants may find that Dr. Godko has a solution.

Original Medicare, which includes Part A for hospital coverage and Part B for medical coverage, does not cover dental implants, dentures, or routine dental care in any state, including New Jersey. Social Security benefits also do not pay for dental procedures — this is a common point of confusion. Some Medicare Advantage plans, known as Part C, include dental benefits that may provide $1,000 to $3,000 in annual dental coverage, but implant coverage is rare and varies significantly by plan. Even when partial coverage exists, it falls far short of the $20,000 to $35,000 cost of full-arch dental implants. This Medicare gap directly affects the approximately 5,500 residents over age 65 in Lawrence Township and thousands more across Mercer County. At Deluxe Dentistry in Lawrenceville, we address this reality head-on: Cherry financing offers 0% APR payment plans specifically designed for patients on fixed incomes. Health Savings Account and Flexible Spending Account funds can be applied toward dental implant treatment when the procedure is medically necessary. Dr. Godko's team helps you explore every available option during your $1 consultation.

Patients at Deluxe Dentistry in Lawrenceville use several approaches to make full-arch dental implants affordable. The most common is 0% APR financing through Cherry, which allows you to spread the cost over monthly payments with no interest. Many patients also use dental insurance to cover a portion — typically $1,000 to $2,000 per year — and finance the remainder. Health Savings Accounts and Flexible Spending Accounts offered through employers like ETS, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and New Jersey state government can be applied directly toward dental implant costs, and these contributions are made with pre-tax dollars. Some patients schedule treatment strategically, using their annual dental insurance maximum in December and then the following year's maximum in January, effectively doubling their coverage over two months. The $1 consultation at Deluxe Dentistry includes a complete cost breakdown and financing review so you know your exact monthly payment before committing to treatment.

The four titanium implant posts are designed to last a lifetime. Once they fuse permanently with your jawbone through osseointegration, they become a permanent part of your anatomy. The full-arch prosthesis attached to the implants — typically made from zirconia or high-grade acrylic — lasts 15 to 25 years or more with proper care. Zirconia prosthetics tend to last longer and resist staining better than acrylic. Compare this to traditional dentures that need full replacement every 5 to 7 years at $2,000 to $5,000 each time, plus regular relining visits. With consistent oral hygiene and regular checkups at Deluxe Dentistry in Lawrenceville, your full-arch dental implants represent a long-term investment that pays for itself over time while delivering a dramatically better daily quality of life.
