All-on-4 replaces a whole jaw of teeth with one fixed bridge carried on four implants. The two back implants go in at an angle to catch bone that is still dense, which often avoids a graft. Extractions, implants and a fixed provisional bridge usually happen in a single appointment.

I've been told I don't have enough bone for implants. Is that the end of it?

Frequently it is not. All-on-4 exists for exactly this situation: the back implants go in at an angle to catch bone that is still dense, which often removes the need for the graft a conventional plan would demand. Nobody can settle it by looking in your mouth — it takes a 3D scan.

Do I go home without teeth while the implants heal?

No. A fixed provisional bridge is screwed on the same day the implants go in, so you leave with teeth in place. It is temporary in the sense that it will be replaced by the definitive bridge once the implants have fused — not in the sense that it comes out at night.

How much does All-on-4 cost at Lukenda Dental?

The practice quotes one flat fee per arch, given to you in writing at the consultation. It covers every extraction, the implants — four, six or eight, whatever the bone calls for — any bone grafting, the bridge fitted on the day of surgery and the definitive full zirconia bridge months later. There are no additional fees.

Dental implants in Colonia, New Jersey

Colonia is closer to Clark than to most of Woodbridge.

Colonia sits at the top of Woodbridge Township, right against the Clark line. For implant treatment the nearest single-office option is north, not south.

Distance: about 4 miles; To 1093 Raritan Rd, Clark
Implants per arch: 4; Two angled to catch dense bone
Teeth on the day: Yes; Fixed provisional bridge, screwed in
Consultation: Free; No treatment happens that day

Lukenda Dental is at 1093 Raritan Road, Suite 1, Clark, New Jersey 07066 — four miles north of Colonia, over the Clark line. Dr. Richard Lukenda, DMD, a Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, places the implants and makes the teeth that go on them in the same office. Call 732-428-4080.

The drive

Inman Avenue or Raritan Road north, about four miles, ten to twelve minutes. Garden State Parkway exit 135 if you are coming from the western side.

Who comes from Colonia

A lot of full-arch cases. The pattern is familiar: a partial denture that has been relined twice, a couple of remaining teeth that are not worth saving, and a question about whether four implants can carry the whole jaw. The scan settles it.

Different county, same insurance

Being in Middlesex County changes nothing about coverage. Most PPO plans are accepted, claims are filed for you, and larger cases get a written pre-determination before you commit.

Crossing out of Woodbridge Township

Colonia sits at the northern edge of Woodbridge, which puts the Clark line closer than most of your own township. Being in a different county changes nothing practical: same insurers, same claim filing, same drive — just shorter than the one to Woodbridge proper.

How long do dental implants last?

The implant itself is designed to be permanent, and long-term studies of implant dentistry report high survival rates well past ten years. What wears is the part on top — the crown or the bridge — which is replaceable without touching the implant. Smoking, uncontrolled diabetes and skipped hygiene visits are the things that shorten the odds.

Am I too old for dental implants?

Age on its own is not a reason to rule implants out; bone quality and general health matter far more than the number. Patients in their seventies and eighties have implants placed routinely. The 3D scan and your medical history answer this question properly — a guess from across the room does not.

Will my insurance cover any of this?

Usually some of it. Most PPO plans contribute to extractions, and many contribute to part of the restoration; few cover a full arch outright. We file the claims for you and, on larger cases, request pre-determination in writing so the figure is confirmed before you commit.

What does a single dental implant cost?

Less than most people expect, and it depends on the tooth. A single implant is priced case by case, because what it needs varies — an extraction first, a graft, the kind of crown. You get the figure in writing at the consultation, itemised, before you decide anything.
