Losing Teeth Doesn't Mean Losing Your Smile
You're sitting across from a dentist, and the words land hard: "You need to replace all your upper teeth." Your heart sinks. You've heard stories about dentures. Loose ones that click when you talk. The constant adjustment. The messy adhesives. The taste of glue every morning. Then there's the cost barrier. You think to yourself: "Is there a better option that doesn't bankrupt me or steal my confidence?"
The answer is yes. And it's called All-on-4 dental implants.
You're Not Alone in Facing Full-Mouth Tooth Loss
If you're in West New York or the surrounding Hudson County area and facing full-mouth tooth loss from gum disease, decay, or injury, you're not alone. Nearly 120 million Americans are missing one or more teeth, according to the American Dental Association. What most people don't realize is that the solution you choose today will impact your eating, speaking, and self-esteem for the next 20+ years. That's not a decision to make lightly.
Why Veda Family Dentistry Is Your Solution
At Veda Family Dentistry, we've helped hundreds of patients transform their lives with All-on-4 technology. In this guide, we'll break down the real costs, the timeline, and why Dr. Ehsan Moosavi's 3D CBCT-guided surgical approach gives you the best odds of success. Not just during treatment, but decades into your future.
Why Dentures Fall Short (And Why Most Patients Regret Choosing Them)
Let's be honest: dentures are cheap upfront. You can get a full set of dentures in Hudson County for $3,000 to $8,000, usually within a few weeks. But here's what they don't tell you in the marketing brochures.
The Bone Loss Problem: Why Your Face Changes With Dentures
Dentures sit on your gums, which shrink over time. Every year you wear them, your jawbone loses volume. Roughly 25 percent of bone density in the first year alone, then 4 percent per year after that. That means in 20 years, your face could look dramatically different. Your cheeks cave in. Your jawline softens. Strangers might assume you've aged a decade overnight.
The Cascading Effects of Bone Resorption
And every time the bone shrinks, your dentures fit worse. So you're adjusting them, buying new ones, resorting to adhesives that taste like chemicals. This creates a vicious cycle where your dentures become looser, your mouth feels more uncomfortable, and your confidence keeps slipping.
The Hidden Costs Add Up Quickly
The hidden costs add up quickly. Denture adjustments and refits cost $200 to $500 each (and you'll need several). Replacement dentures every 5 to 7 years cost $3,000 to $8,000 per set. Denture cleaners, soaking solutions, and adhesives cost $20 to $50 per month. Over 20 years, that denture you thought was "affordable" has cost you $15,000 to $25,000 when you factor in replacements and maintenance.
The Real Cost: Your Quality of Life
But the real cost isn't financial. It's the freedom you lose. Can't eat steak. Avoiding corn on the cob. Taking out your teeth before bed and hoping your partner doesn't find you aging in the bathroom mirror. Dentures are a constant reminder of what you've lost. If you want to explore how implants preserve your natural bone structure while restoring full function, read our detailed guide on dental implants in West New York.
What Is All-on-4? The Game-Changing Full-Mouth Implant Solution
All-on-4 is a revolutionary surgical approach where four strategically placed dental implants support a full arch (upper or lower set) of fixed, non-removable teeth. Unlike traditional implant approaches that require 6 to 10 implants per arch, All-on-4 uses precision biomechanics to maximize bone engagement with fewer implants. The result? Lower cost, shorter wait time, and teeth that feel and function like your own.
How Dr. Moosavi Uses 3D CBCT Technology for Precision Planning
Here's how it works: Dr. Moosavi uses advanced 3D CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) imaging to map your jawbone with millimeter precision. He identifies the areas with the densest bone and angles the implants to optimize load distribution while avoiding major nerves and sinus cavities.
Why 3D Imaging Reduces Your Need for Bone Grafting
This precision approach means most patients avoid bone grafting. A bone graft procedure adds $1,500 to $3,000 and 4 to 6 months to the timeline. With All-on-4, you're looking at a single surgical appointment and permanent teeth in as little as 24 hours. This is the difference between waiting almost a year for a traditional implant solution versus walking out of the office with a full smile the same day.
The All-on-4 Procedure: What Happens on Surgery Day
Before Surgery: Weeks of Detailed Planning
On your treatment day, you arrive at our West New York office. Dr. Moosavi has already spent weeks analyzing your 3D imaging, planning the exact angle and depth of each implant to maximize bone contact and minimize complications. Local anesthesia is administered, and you're comfortable throughout.
During Surgery: 2 to 3 Hours to Transform Your Smile
The surgery itself takes 2 to 3 hours. Dr. Moosavi extracts any remaining teeth (if necessary), places four implants in carefully selected positions, and attaches a temporary set of teeth to those implants before you leave. Yes, you read that right. You walk out with teeth the same day.
Same-Day Teeth: Why This Changes Everything
This temporary prosthetic allows you to eat soft foods, smile in photos, and feel like yourself while your implants integrate with your bone over the next 3 to 6 months. After that healing period, you return for your permanent, custom-fabricated teeth. These are designed to match your natural smile and bite perfectly. Many patients tell us this psychological boost of having teeth immediately is worth the entire investment.
After Surgery: Recovery Is Faster Than You Think
Recovery is remarkably quick. Most patients return to work within 3 to 5 days. You'll experience some swelling and tenderness, managed easily with over-the-counter pain relief and ice packs. Within two weeks, most of the swelling is gone. Within six months, your implants have fused to your bone (a process called osseointegration), creating a bond as strong as a natural tooth root.
All-on-4 vs. Traditional Implants vs. Dentures: The Complete Cost Breakdown
Let's talk numbers, because cost is often the deciding factor.
All-on-4 Implants: The Balanced Solution
Cost: $20,000 to $35,000 per arch (upper or lower) Timeline: Temporary teeth in 24 hours; permanent teeth in 3 to 6 months Implant count: 4 per arch Bone grafting needed: Rarely (maybe 10 to 15 percent of cases) Maintenance: Professional cleanings twice yearly; brushing and flossing like natural teeth Lifespan: 20 to 30+ years with proper care
Why All-on-4 Offers the Best Value
All-on-4 represents the sweet spot between cost and longevity. You're not paying for 8 to 10 implants when 4 strategic ones will work just as well. You're not waiting a year for bone grafting. And you're getting teeth on day one, not six months later.
Traditional Implants (6 to 10 per arch): More Implants, More Cost
Cost: $25,000 to $50,000+ per arch Timeline: 6 to 12 months (often with bone grafting first) Implant count: 6 to 10 per arch Bone grafting needed: Frequently (40 to 60 percent of cases adds $1,500 to $3,000 and 4 to 6 months) Maintenance: Professional cleanings twice yearly; brushing and flossing Lifespan: 20 to 30+ years with proper care
When Traditional Implants Make Sense
Traditional implants may be recommended if you have very high bone density and want maximum support for complex bite issues. However, for most patients, All-on-4 achieves the same results at lower cost and with faster treatment.
Dentures: The Budget Option With Long-Term Hidden Costs
Cost: $3,000 to $8,000 upfront Hidden costs over 20 years: $12,000 to $20,000 (replacements, adjustments, adhesives) Timeline: 2 to 4 weeks Bone grafting needed: N/A Maintenance: Daily soaking, cleaning, adhesive application Lifespan: 5 to 7 years before replacement needed
The True Cost of Choosing Dentures
While dentures cost less upfront, the total cost of ownership over 20 years actually exceeds All-on-4. Plus, you lose bone, face changes, and quality of life. When you do the real math, All-on-4 is the smarter investment.
Dr. Moosavi's Surgical Expertise: 3D CBCT Precision Meets Years of Clinical Experience
Dr. Ehsan Moosavi isn't just placing implants. He's architecting your smile's future. With specialized training in oral and maxillofacial surgery, he's completed hundreds of All-on-4 cases. Many were for patients who were told by other dentists they weren't candidates due to insufficient bone. His secret? Advanced 3D CBCT imaging combined with years of surgical finesse.
How Dr. Moosavi Analyzes Your Unique Case
When Dr. Moosavi reviews your case, he's not just looking at whether you have enough bone. He's analyzing your facial anatomy, your bite mechanics, your esthetic goals, and your long-term health. He angles implants to maximize contact with dense bone, minimize nerve involvement, and create a smile that looks naturally beautiful. Not artificially uniform or obviously "implanted." This level of precision reduces complications and increases longevity.
Our 95 Percent Success Rate (Above National Average)
At Veda Family Dentistry, our All-on-4 success rate exceeds 95 percent, which is significantly higher than the national average. That's because Dr. Moosavi refuses to cut corners. He'll spend extra time in surgery to get the angles perfect. He'll recommend bone grafting if it means your implants will last an extra 10 years.
Your Smile Is a Legacy Investment
He views each case as a legacy. You're trusting him with your smile for the next 25 years, and he takes that responsibility seriously. Every detail matters. Every angle is calculated. Every patient gets the time and attention they deserve.
Your Smile Deserves More Than a Generic Solution
Veda Family Dentistry serves West New York, Union City, North Bergen, Guttenberg, and surrounding Hudson County neighborhoods. We're not a corporate chain where you're patient number 47 of the day. You're a person with a unique story, unique anatomy, and unique smile goals.
Personalized Treatment Planning
Dr. Moosavi will spend time understanding what matters to you. Whether that's eating the foods you love again, smiling without self-consciousness in family photos, or feeling confident in professional settings. Your goals drive our treatment plan. Not cookie-cutter protocols. Not one-size-fits-all approaches.

Many of our patients choose to finance their All-on-4 procedure and discover the monthly payment is less than they expected.

Especially when they factor in the savings from not buying denture adhesives, replacement dentures, and adjustment appointments forever. Your investment today becomes your freedom tomorrow.
