I am currently in the implant process in R.I. having one upper right molar done and it is costing me $3,000. This is about the going rate for one tooth. I am not sure if you would get a discount with a full mouth restoration, but even with a discount of $1,000 off per tooth you are still looking at a minimal cost of around $50,000. If you get a price quote much less that this amount for a full mouth restoration I would seriously question the quality of the dentist's work.
Not sure the reason you need or want this procedure, but if this is for cosmetic reasons only you may want to consider porcelain veneers. I had porcelain veneers applied to my 4 upper front teeth nearly 30 years ago, loved the result, and still can't believe they have lasted this long. I paid $2,000 per veneer and I suspect the cost now is in the ballpark of $3,500 each. Most people only need 4-6 veneers on their top front teeth to correct most cosmetic flaws, and rarely ones are needed on the bottom unless the teeth are very disfigured and show significantly when smiling.
Good luck in whatever you decide,
