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 Kenilworth, New Jersey

Kenilworth to the chair: five miles, one exit.

The old practice website led with Kenilworth in its title for years, and for a plain reason: it is a short, uncomplicated drive with parking at the other end.

Distance: about 5 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 — five miles south, straight down the Parkway to exit 135. 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

Garden State Parkway south to exit 135, then a minute on Raritan Road. About five miles, twelve to fifteen minutes. Boulevard and Michigan Avenue are the surface-road alternative when the Parkway is backed up.

Implants and general dentistry together

Kenilworth patients often start with a cleaning and a broken filling and end up asking about the gap they have been living with for years. Both happen in this office, which is the point — you do not need a second practice to ask the second question.

Free consultation

The first implant consultation costs nothing and no treatment happens that day. You leave with a written plan and a price, and you decide at home.

Boulevard, when the Parkway is stopped

The Parkway between Kenilworth and exit 135 backs up badly at rush hour. Boulevard to Michigan Avenue and then across is slower on paper and faster in practice on a weekday evening. If you are running late, call — the desk would rather move you than have you drive badly.

Straight answers

What Kenilworth patients ask first.

Four questions that come up in nearly every implant consultation, answered before you book one.

Call 732-428-4080

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.

Can I pay monthly?

Yes, and almost everybody does for a full arch. The practice works with CareCredit and Alphaeon Credit, both of which run monthly plans for dental treatment, some with interest-free periods. What you qualify for is decided by the lender, not by us, but the application is short and the answer comes back quickly.

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.

Do I need a referral to be seen?

No. You can book directly. If another dentist has referred you for implant treatment, bring the referral and any recent X-rays — it saves repeating imaging you have already had.
