Permanent full-arch tooth replacement in McCordsville, IN, led by Dr. Louis Abukhalaf.
About Your Implant Provider: Dr. Louis Abukhalaf
Dr. Louis Abukhalaf earned his undergraduate degree in chemistry and biochemistry from Loyola University Chicago, graduating summa cum laude. He continued at Marquette Dental School, graduating magna cum laude, and then completed post-graduate training at:
- The Misch Implant Institute — one of the country's most rigorous post-graduate programs in dental implantology, founded by the late Dr. Carl Misch and focused specifically on full-arch implant rehabilitation.
- The Kois Center — an evidence-based continuing education program in advanced restorative and aesthetic dentistry, with a curriculum centered on long-term restoration outcomes.
Dr. Abukhalaf focuses his practice on cosmetic and implant dentistry. For All-on-Four cases, that means every step — from the 3D treatment planning to the surgical placement to the final prosthetic restoration — is done by him, in our office, with no patient hand-offs to outside specialists.
Why McCordsville, IN Patients Choose SmileCentric East

What to Expect From Your All-on-Four Treatment
Step 1: Free Consultation and 3D Imaging
Your first visit is a free consultation. Dr. Abukhalaf will examine your mouth, take a 3D Cone Beam scan to evaluate your jawbone and surrounding anatomy, and walk you through whether All-on-Four is the right fit for your case. You'll leave with an itemized treatment plan and pricing — no obligation to move forward.
Step 2: Surgical Placement and Same-Day Teeth
On surgery day, any remaining teeth on the arch are removed if needed, four implants are placed at angles designed to maximize bone contact and minimize the need for grafting, and a temporary fixed bridge is attached to those implants the same day. You walk out with a complete arch of teeth — not dentures, not gaps. The procedure takes 2–4 hours per arch and is performed under local anesthesia and sedation.
Step 3: Healing and Final Restoration
Over the next 4–6 months, your implants integrate with the jawbone — a biological process called osseointegration that creates the permanent foundation for your new teeth. You'll wear the temporary bridge during this time. Once integration is complete, the temporary is replaced with your permanent prosthesis, custom-designed to match your bite, your facial structure, and the way you want your smile to look.
What All-on-Four Costs in McCordsville, IN
All-on-Four is a major investment — total costs vary depending on whether you need extractions, bone grafting, sedation, and which prosthetic materials you choose. We don't publish a flat price because the variables matter, and quoting one number for everyone would be misleading.
What we will do at your free consultation: provide a complete itemized estimate that breaks out every component — implants, surgery, anesthesia, temporary bridge, final prosthesis — and walks through what your insurance will likely cover. Most major PPO plans contribute meaningfully to portions of the case (extractions, anesthesia, sometimes the prosthetic) even if they don't cover implants directly. Our front desk verifies your benefits before your consultation so the numbers we discuss reflect your actual out-of-pocket cost.
For patients without insurance: we have an in-house membership discount plan, and OrthoFi financing offers monthly payments at competitive rates.

All-on-Four FAQs for McCordsville, IN Patients
How much do All-on-Four dental implants cost?
All-on-Four pricing depends on whether you need extractions, bone grafting, sedation, and which materials you choose for your final prosthesis. Costs vary significantly between practices, and we provide an itemized estimate at your consultation so you know exactly what's included. Per the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, full-arch implant treatment is a major investment, and we offer in-house financing through OrthoFi to spread payments over time. Schedule a free consultation at (317) 777-7179 to get pricing specific to your case.
How long does the All-on-Four procedure take?
The implant placement appointment itself usually takes 2–4 hours per arch, depending on whether extractions and bone preparation are needed at the same visit. You'll typically leave that day with a temporary fixed bridge attached to the implants. The full process, from consultation through final prosthesis, generally spans 4–6 months to allow the implants to integrate with the bone before the permanent restoration is placed.
Will I leave with teeth on the same day as surgery?
Yes, in most cases. The All-on-Four protocol is specifically designed for immediate loading — meaning a temporary fixed bridge is attached to your implants the same day they're placed. You won't go home toothless. The temporary bridge is replaced with your permanent prosthesis once your implants have fully integrated.
Am I a candidate for All-on-Four implants?
Most adults missing all or most of their teeth on an arch are candidates. The key factors are general health, gum health, and adequate jawbone — though All-on-Four is specifically designed to work with less bone than traditional implant approaches, often eliminating the need for bone grafts. Dr. Louis Abukhalaf will use 3D Cone Beam imaging at your consultation to evaluate your bone and design your treatment plan.
How long do All-on-Four implants last?
The implants themselves are designed to last decades — many patients keep them for life. The prosthetic bridge attached to the implants typically needs replacement every 10–15 years depending on materials and wear. Maintenance is similar to caring for natural teeth: brushing, flossing around the implants, and regular professional cleanings.
Is the All-on-Four procedure painful?
The procedure itself is performed under local anesthesia and sedation, so you won't feel pain during placement. Most patients report mild-to-moderate soreness and swelling for a few days afterward, manageable with prescription pain relievers and over-the-counter medication. Recovery is typically faster than people expect — most are back to normal activities within a week.
Does dental insurance cover All-on-Four implants?
Most PPO dental plans provide partial coverage — often for components like extractions, the temporary bridge, or anesthesia, but rarely for the full implant cost. We're in-network with most major PPO insurers and our team will verify your benefits and submit claims on your behalf. For uninsured patients, we offer a membership discount plan and OrthoFi financing.
How is All-on-Four different from regular dentures?
Traditional dentures rest on the gums and are removable — they can slip, click, or come loose, and they require adhesive. All-on-Four implants are surgically anchored into the jawbone with four titanium posts and your replacement teeth attach to those posts. They don't move, they preserve jawbone (dentures accelerate bone loss), and they restore close to natural biting force, so you can eat foods you've been avoiding.
Do you accept patients from McCordsville, IN?
Yes. We see All-on-Four patients from across McCordsville, IN and the surrounding east side of Indianapolis. Our office is located at 115 N Shortridge Rd, Suite 200, Indianapolis, IN 46219 with free on-site parking. Many of our All-on-Four patients drive in from across the metro area because there are very few practices in our region offering the full Misch Implant Institute / Kois Center treatment standard under one roof.
What should I bring to my consultation?
Bring any recent dental X-rays or 3D scans (we can also take new ones during your visit), a list of current medications, and your dental insurance card if you have one. If you're currently wearing dentures, bring them. The consultation is free, runs about 60–90 minutes, and includes a 3D Cone Beam scan and a written treatment plan with itemized pricing — no obligation. You can schedule online or by calling (317) 777-7179.
