All-on-4 is a full arch restoration technique that replaces an entire row of teeth (upper, lower, or both) using just four titanium implants per arch. Unlike traditional implants that require one implant per tooth, All-on-4 uses strategic placement and angulation to maximize support with fewer implants.
Key Features:
Discover the advantages that have made All-on-4 the preferred choice for full arch restoration.

Walk in with missing teeth, walk out with a complete smile. Receive temporary teeth immediately after surgery.
Angled rear implants maximize bone contact, eliminating bone grafting in most patients.

Implants stimulate your jawbone, preventing bone loss and facial collapse.
With proper care, All-on-4 implants can last 25 years or more.
Four implants instead of six to eight reduces complexity and offers a more accessible price point.

Your journey to a new smile typically unfolds in three phases.
1-2 weeks before surgery
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation including oral examination, 3D CT scans, and a customized treatment plan with transparent pricing.
2-4 hours per arch
Under local anesthesia or sedation, damaged teeth are extracted, four titanium implants are placed, and temporary teeth are attached—all in one visit.
3-6 months after surgery
Your implants fuse with your jawbone while wearing functional temporary teeth. Then your permanent, custom-crafted prosthetic is fitted.
Understanding your investment in a permanent smile.
We believe everyone deserves access to a confident smile. Many of our listed specialists offer:
All-on-4 works for a wide range of patients—including many who've been told they're not candidates for traditional implants.
The Best Way to Know? Every patient is unique. The only way to determine your candidacy with certainty is through a professional evaluation. During your free consultation, your specialist will assess your specific situation and recommend the best path forward.
Book Your Free AssessmentThe surgical procedure typically takes 2-4 hours per arch. Most patients receive their temporary teeth the same day, meaning you can have a complete smile transformation in a single appointment. Your permanent prosthetic is fitted 3-6 months later after your implants have fully integrated.
The procedure itself is performed under local anesthesia or IV sedation, so you won't feel pain during surgery. Afterward, most patients experience moderate discomfort similar to a tooth extraction, manageable with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication. Many patients are surprised by how comfortable recovery is—most return to normal activities within a few days.
Caring for All-on-4 implants is similar to caring for natural teeth. Brush twice daily with a soft-bristle brush, floss daily using specialized tools (your specialist will demonstrate), and attend regular dental check-ups. Unlike dentures, there's no need for removal, soaking, or adhesives.
After an initial healing period of soft foods (usually 2-3 months), you can eat virtually anything. Steak, apples, corn on the cob, crusty bread—All-on-4 restores full chewing function, so there are no permanent dietary restrictions. Your final prosthetic is designed to withstand normal biting forces.
The titanium implants themselves are designed to last a lifetime when properly cared for. The prosthetic (the visible teeth) typically lasts 15-25 years before potentially needing replacement due to normal wear. With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, many patients enjoy their All-on-4 restoration for decades.
The primary difference is the number of implants used. All-on-4 uses four implants per arch, while All-on-6 uses six. All-on-6 may be recommended for patients with excellent bone density who want additional stability, or for lower jaw restorations where more support is beneficial. Your specialist will recommend the best option for your specific anatomy.
Most provincial health plans do not cover dental implants. However, private dental insurance may cover a portion—typically 50% of the implant cost up to your annual maximum. All-on-4 also qualifies as a tax-deductible medical expense. Our specialists can help you understand your coverage and maximize any benefits.
