If you've lost most or all of your teeth — or you're facing the removal of failing teeth — full-arch implants can restore a complete, fixed smile that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth. At Aurora Borealis Dentistry, Dr. Waji Khan plans and places full-arch implant treatment right here in Aurora, ON.

All-on-4 (and its variations, All-on-6 and All-on-X) replaces an entire upper or lower arch of teeth using a small number of strategically positioned implants. Because the implants can often be angled to make the most of your available bone, many patients can avoid extensive bone grafting — and receive a fixed set of teeth without the slipping, adhesives, or removal that come with conventional dentures. This page is part of our broader dental implants care.

Not sure where to start? Full-arch treatment is highly individual — bone health, the condition of remaining teeth, and your goals all shape the plan. The best first step is a consultation with 3D imaging. You can also try our quick online implant assessment to see whether you may be a candidate.

The Basics

What is All-on-4 / All-on-X?

"All-on-X" is an umbrella term for full-arch implant restoration — replacing all the teeth in a jaw with a fixed bridge anchored to a set number of implants. The "X" stands for the number of implants used, which is tailored to your anatomy:

All-on-4Four implants support a full arch — two upright at the front, two angled at the back for stability.
All-on-6Six implants for additional support, often chosen where bone volume or bite forces call for it.
Fixed, not removableThe final teeth are secured to the implants — they don't come out for cleaning like a denture.

The result is a stable, permanent set of teeth that restores chewing power, speech, and the natural shape of your face — while the implants help preserve the jawbone that removable dentures tend to let waste away.

Why Full-Arch Implants

The benefits over removable dentures

For many patients, a fixed full-arch solution is life-changing compared to traditional dentures:

  • Fixed and stable. No adhesives, no slipping, no taking your teeth out — they stay put while you eat and speak.
  • Restored bite strength. Eat the foods you've been avoiding; full-arch implants restore far more chewing force than dentures.
  • Preserves your jawbone. Implants stimulate the bone the way natural roots do, helping prevent the facial collapse that long-term denture wear can cause.
  • Looks and feels natural. Your arch is custom-shaped and colour-matched for a seamless, confident smile.
  • Often avoids grafting. Angled implant placement can make treatment possible even for patients told they lacked the bone for conventional implants.

What To Expect

The full-arch implant process

1

Consultation & 3D imaging

We assess your teeth, gums, and jawbone using in-house CBCT 3D imaging, and discuss your goals to confirm whether full-arch treatment is right for you.

2

Personalized treatment plan

Using your 3D scan, we plan implant number and positioning precisely — coordinating any extractions and your new arch in advance.

3

Implant placement

Any failing teeth are removed and the implants are placed in the same visit. Sedation options are available for your comfort throughout.

4

Healing & final teeth

As the implants integrate with the bone over the following months, a temporary arch protects the site. Once healed, your final fixed teeth are secured in place.

Is It Right For You?

Who is a candidate for full-arch implants?

Full-arch implants suit patients missing most or all of their teeth in an arch, those with failing teeth that can't be saved, and long-time denture wearers who want a fixed solution. A few things we'll assess at your consultation:

  • Overall health matters. Certain conditions, uncontrolled diabetes, or smoking can affect healing and implant success — we review these carefully.
  • Bone is evaluated, not assumed. Even patients told they "don't have enough bone" for implants are often candidates thanks to angled placement; where needed, grafting can rebuild support.
  • Age is not a barrier. Many seniors are excellent candidates and benefit enormously from a fixed, stable smile.
  • It starts with imaging. Because every case is different, a 3D CBCT scan is the only way to plan accurately — and it happens in-house, with no outside referral needed.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What does "All-on-4" actually mean?
All-on-4 means a full arch of fixed replacement teeth supported by four dental implants — typically two upright at the front and two angled at the back for maximum stability. "All-on-X" is the broader term covering versions that use a different number of implants, such as All-on-6, depending on your anatomy.
How is this different from regular dentures?
Traditional dentures rest on the gums and can slip, require adhesives, and need to be removed for cleaning. Full-arch implants are fixed to implants in the jaw — they stay in place, restore far more bite strength, and help preserve the jawbone rather than allowing it to shrink over time.
How much do full-arch implants cost in Aurora?
Cost depends on how many implants are needed, whether any extractions or grafting are required, and the materials used for your final arch. Because every case is different, we provide a clear, personalized estimate after your consultation and 3D scan. You can also try our online implant assessment for a quick starting point.
Will I leave without teeth during healing?
No. In most cases a temporary fixed arch is placed so you're never without teeth during the healing period. Your final, permanent teeth are fitted once the implants have integrated with the bone.
Do I have enough bone for implants?
Often, yes — even if you've been told otherwise. Angled implant placement is designed to make the most of available bone and frequently avoids the need for grafting. Where bone is insufficient, grafting can rebuild support. A 3D CBCT scan is the only way to know for certain.
Is the procedure painful?
Most patients report manageable discomfort. The procedure is performed with local anesthetic, and sedation options — including nitrous oxide, oral, and IV sedation — are available for your comfort. Any post-operative soreness is typically well controlled with prescribed medication.
How long do full-arch implants last?
With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, the implants themselves are designed to be a long-term, often lifelong solution. The fixed teeth they support may eventually need maintenance or replacement over many years of use.
