Dental Implants and All-on-4 for Allen Patients
4.9★ from 450+ Google reviews · Free consultation + 3D scan
A short drive does not answer all the questions about replacing teeth. If you are coming from Allen, you may be comparing a single implant with a larger restoration, wondering whether to keep certain teeth, or trying to make sense of a full-arch quote. Those are planning questions, and you can bring them to Forte Implant Center before deciding on a procedure. There is no need to arrive with the treatment already chosen.
Our Plano office is about 15 minutes from Allen via US-75. Dr. Lee Fitzgerald coordinates care from the initial consultation to final teeth, supported by the in-house lab in the same building. The free consultation includes a free 3D CT scan and a written plan. For Allen residents researching All-on-4, the most useful next step is understanding what the published per-arch prices mean and how the recommendation would apply to your own upper teeth, lower teeth, or both.
All-on-4 cost for Allen patients
All-on-4 at Forte starts at $15,500 per arch for nano-ceramic. The $19,500 full zirconia option is also priced per arch. Only full zirconia arches carry the lifetime warranty shown on the site. An arch is one upper or lower set of teeth, so a starting price for an arch should not be mistaken for the total cost of replacing both. The free consultation is where your exact price is given.
If payment arrangements are part of your decision, the cost page has information about CareCredit, Proceed, and Happen, formerly LendingClub. These are lender options rather than a guarantee of approval. Read their terms and discuss the clinical plan separately so you know what you are financing. Ask the team to explain the material, scope, and stages in the written recommendation, particularly if you are comparing prices from more than one office.
A treatment conversation for Allen, not a preset package
Different concerns call for different assessments. A single gap does not automatically call for All-on-4, and a loose denture does not tell you which implant approach will be suitable. Dr. Fitzgerald uses the examination and 3D scan to discuss your situation. Explain the issue that bothers you most, whether it is the movement of your denture, the loss of a tooth, or doubts about several teeth that are still present.
For full-arch care, read the All-on-4 guide before the appointment if you would like background on healing teeth and the final restoration. The site describes fixed teeth typically secured within 24 hours for qualifying cases. Your plan may have different requirements, and the consultation is the place to confirm them. Ask what happens after surgery as well as during it, because the final teeth are part of the treatment, not an afterthought.
Why patients drive from Allen to Dr. Fitzgerald
Forte's organization brings one doctor's planning and an on-site laboratory together. Dr. Lee Fitzgerald is involved from consultation through final teeth, and he teaches implant surgery to other dentists. That combination gives you specific things to ask about: how the surgical plan supports the restoration, who explains the material choice, and how questions are handled as care progresses. You can read about his clinical and teaching work on the doctor page.
The practice has 4.9 stars from 450+ Google reviews. Take those reviews as one part of your research, alongside the real cases in the before-and-after gallery and the explanation you receive in person. A photograph cannot show every detail of another person's treatment, and it does not establish your candidacy. Use examples to describe what you would like to understand, rather than expecting a copied result.
The US-75 trip from Allen to the Plano office
Allow about 15 minutes from Allen, usually using US-75 south into Plano and then local roads to 424 Maplelawn Dr, Plano, TX 75075. Traffic and the point where you join US-75 will affect the actual journey. Confirm directions shortly before leaving so the estimate remains useful. Your consultation, imaging, surgery, and laboratory care are based at the Plano Implant Center, not at an Allen satellite office.
The office is open Monday through Thursday, 7am to 3pm. Choose a consultation time that allows you to discuss your questions without treating the drive as a race against traffic. For later appointments, follow the preparation and transport instructions given for your particular visit. The team can explain those requirements when your plan is arranged; do not assume a surgical appointment has the same practical needs as the first consultation.
Preparing questions in Allen before you book
A simple list can make the visit easier: what is missing or uncomfortable, what you have been told already, and what you need explained before deciding. You can ask about preserving teeth, the difference between one-arch and full-mouth treatment, and how final teeth are selected. The free consultation and 3D scan are there to help clarify the recommendation. Call 972-612-7800 or use the booking button when you are ready to begin.
Questions, answered
Allen questions about quotes and treatment choices
Does the Allen All-on-4 starting price cover my upper and lower teeth?
The published figures are per arch, meaning one upper or lower set of teeth. They are not a stated total for both arches. Your free consultation provides the individual scope and exact price so you can understand what your recommendation includes.
Can I ask about a single missing tooth when coming from Allen?
Yes. The appointment is not limited to full-arch treatment. Explain the gap or problem you want addressed, and Dr. Fitzgerald can discuss an appropriate plan after the examination and 3D imaging.
Is there a separate Forte implant office in Allen?
Allen patients visit the Plano Implant Center at 424 Maplelawn Dr. The drive is about 15 minutes via US-75, subject to traffic. Imaging, surgery, restoration, and the in-house laboratory are coordinated in that Plano building.
Which warranty should Allen patients look for in a quote?
Forte's lifetime warranty is on full zirconia arches only. Do not assume the nano-ceramic starting option carries the same warranty. Ask the team to explain the material and applicable warranty alongside your exact written price.
