All-on-4 Dental Implants: The Complete Canadian Guide

A full arch of fixed teeth on four implants: 2026 cost per arch, who it suits, the process, and how it compares to dentures.

A modern clinic where full-arch All-on-4 implants are placed
All-on-4 replaces a full arch of teeth with a fixed bridge anchored on four dental implants. In Canada it typically costs $20,000-$30,000 per arch. Unlike removable dentures, it stays fixed, restores near-natural bite force, and preserves jawbone, and many patients get a temporary set of teeth the same day.

What is All-on-4?

All-on-4 is a full-arch implant solution. Instead of one implant per tooth, four implants (placed at angles to use the densest available bone) support a complete fixed bridge. It's a fixed alternative to dentures for people missing most or all of their teeth in an arch.

Who All-on-4 is for

  • People missing most or all teeth in an arch
  • Denture wearers who want fixed, stable teeth
  • Anyone facing full extractions who wants to avoid removable dentures
  • Patients with some bone loss (angled implants often avoid grafting)

The All-on-4 process

Consult & 3D scan

CBCT imaging maps your bone and plans implant angles.

Surgery & same-day teeth

Implants placed and a temporary fixed bridge often fitted that day.

Healing

Implants fuse with bone over 3-6 months.

Final bridge

Your permanent zirconia or acrylic arch is fitted.

All-on-4 vs dentures vs single implants

Removable dentures are cheapest but slip and allow bone loss. Single implants are ideal for one or a few teeth. All-on-4 is the sweet spot for a full arch: fixed, fewer implants than one-per-tooth, and strong value per arch. See our implants vs dentures comparison →

Common questions

How much does All-on-4 cost in Canada?
All-on-4 typically costs $20,000-$30,000 per arch in Canada, depending on materials (acrylic vs zirconia), the provider, and whether extractions or grafting are needed. Both arches together can run $40,000-$60,000.
How long does All-on-4 last?
The implants can last a lifetime with good care; the fixed bridge on top typically lasts 10-15+ years before it may need refurbishing or replacement.
Is All-on-4 better than dentures?
For most people, yes, for comfort and function. All-on-4 is fixed in place, restores strong bite force, and preserves jawbone, while removable dentures slip and allow bone loss. The trade-off is higher upfront cost.
Can I get teeth the same day?
Often yes. Many All-on-4 patients leave with a temporary fixed set of teeth on the day of surgery ("teeth in a day"), with the final bridge fitted after healing.
Am I a candidate for All-on-4?
Most people missing most or all teeth in an arch, or facing full extractions, are candidates. All-on-4 is designed to use available bone, often avoiding grafts. A CBCT scan confirms suitability.
