What are full arch dental implants?
Full arch dental implants replace all of the teeth in the upper jaw, the lower jaw, or both. Instead of replacing each tooth with its own implant, a small number of implants, usually four to six, are placed in the jawbone and used to support a full bridge of teeth. The bridge is fixed to the implants, so it does not come out at night and does not need adhesive.
You may have heard this called All-on-4, All-on-X, fixed dentures or implant-supported bridges. These names describe the same idea: a full set of teeth held in place by implants. The number and position of implants are planned around your bone and your bite, not a fixed formula.
Who is it for?
Full arch implants are usually considered when most or all of the teeth in a jaw are missing or can no longer be saved. Patients often come to us because:
- Their dentures are loose, uncomfortable or make eating difficult
- Several teeth are failing from decay, gum disease, cracks or old dental work
- They avoid smiling or certain foods because of their teeth
- A partial denture is no longer holding up
If only a few teeth are missing, a single implant, an implant bridge or other options may suit you better. We will tell you which option fits your situation.
The process
Your full arch treatment, step by step
Most treatment takes about four months from implant placement to your final teeth, with much of that time spent healing.
1
Consultation & Planning
We examine your teeth, gums and bite, take X-rays and a digital scan, and review your medical history. Bone is assessed through clinical and radiographic examination, including a 3D CBCT scan arranged at a local imaging centre as part of your treatment plan. You leave with a written plan, timeline and cost.
2
Implant placement
Any remaining teeth that cannot be saved are removed and the implants are placed in the same appointment, under local anaesthetic with nitrous oxide available. Where the implants are stable enough, a fixed provisional bridge is attached the same day or within a few days, so you do not leave without teeth.
3
Healing
Over the next four months or so the bone heals around the implants. You eat a softer diet during this time, and we see you for check-ups to monitor healing.
4
Final Bridge
Once healing is complete, we take new scans and fit your custom final bridge, made from zirconia. We adjust the bite and show you how to clean around it.

PLANNED AND PLACED IN-HOUSE
One dentist from planning to final teeth
Full arch treatment involves surgery, a provisional bridge, healing and a final bridge. At many practices this is split between an oral surgeon and a general dentist at different offices. Dr. Ahsan Mahmood plans the case, places the implants and fits the teeth here at our Kanata clinic, so you deal with one team and one treatment plan from start to finish.
He uses Straumann implants, one of the most widely researched implant systems in the world.
This continuity matters for implants more than almost any other treatment. One clinician planning and executing the whole case means fewer appointments, no records lost in a handoff, and one person accountable for how the result looks and functions. Sedation is available for anxious patients, and every consultation is complimentary.

How much do full arch dental implants cost?
Full arch treatment at our Kanata clinic typically ranges from $22,000 to $25,000 per arch. Every case is unique, so your exact cost depends on what your treatment involves. We give you an exact written estimate at your complimentary consultation, once we have examined your mouth and planned your case.
Where your cost falls in that range depends on:
- The number of implants needed
- Whether teeth need to be removed first
- Whether bone grafting is needed
- Whether gum disease needs to be treated before implants
We only recommend the treatment you need, and you see every part of the cost in writing before anything begins, with no obligation.
An investment in your health and quality of life
Full arch implants are a significant investment, and for many patients they change daily life: eating comfortably again, speaking clearly, and smiling without worrying about loose dentures. Compared with the ongoing cost of relining or replacing dentures over the years, they can be the better long-term value.

Are you a candidate
Are full arch implants right for you?
The main requirement is enough healthy bone in the jaw to hold the implants. Bone is assessed through clinical and radiographic examination before we recommend treatment. Because the implants can often be angled to make the best use of the bone you have, many people who were told they had “too little bone” for implants can still be treated, sometimes without bone grafting.
Smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, some medications and heavy grinding can affect healing and long-term success, and we will discuss these factors. If full arch implants are not the right choice for you, we will explain the alternatives.
Comfort and sedation
Implant placement is done under local anaesthetic, and nitrous oxide sedation is available to help you relax. Most patients are surprised by how manageable the procedure is. Some swelling and tenderness for a few days afterwards is normal and is managed with medication we recommend.
Caring for your new teeth
Your full arch bridge is cleaned every day like natural teeth, with a soft brush plus a water flosser or special floss to clean underneath. Regular check-ups and professional cleanings are important, because the gums around implants need care just like natural teeth. If you grind or clench, a night guard helps protect the bridge.
How long implants and bridges last varies from person to person and depends on oral hygiene, gum and bone health, smoking, general health and grinding. The bridge is subject to normal wear and may need repair or replacement over time. We will explain how to give your treatment the best chance of long-term success.

The main requirement is enough healthy bone to anchor the implant, and bone is assessed from clinical and radiographic exam before recommending treatment.
Smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, and certain medications affect healing; we’ll discuss these honestly. And if an implant is not the right choice for you, we will say so and walk you through bridges and partial dentures instead. A treatment likely to fail is not one worth selling.

Common questions
Full arch dental implant FAQs
Full arch treatment at our Kanata clinic typically ranges from $22,000 to $25,000 per arch. Every case is different, so your exact cost depends on your treatment: the number of implants, whether teeth need to be removed, and whether bone grafting or gum treatment is needed. At your complimentary consultation you receive your exact cost in writing, with no obligation.
All-on-4 is one well-known type of full arch treatment that uses four implants per jaw. Full arch treatment can use four, five or six implants depending on your bone and bite. We plan the number of implants around your case.
In many cases, yes. Where the implants are stable enough, a fixed provisional bridge is attached the same day or within a few days. Your final bridge is fitted after a healing period of about four months.
Usually about four months from implant placement to your final bridge, with most of that time spent healing. If bone grafting is needed first, treatment takes longer. You receive a specific timeline at your consultation.
Implants are placed under local anaesthetic, with nitrous oxide sedation available. Swelling and tenderness for a few days afterwards are normal and managed with medication we recommend.
Often, yes. Long-term denture wear can reduce bone, but implants can often be angled to use the bone that remains. We assess this through clinical and radiographic examination at your consultation.
No. A full arch bridge is fixed to the implants and only your dentist can remove it, for example for a professional cleaning. If you would prefer teeth you can remove, a snap-in implant denture may suit you.
Brush twice a day with a soft brush and clean underneath the bridge daily with a water flosser or special floss. Regular check-ups and professional cleanings keep the gums around the implants healthy.
Coverage varies. Some private plans contribute toward part of the treatment, such as extractions, while many exclude implants. We can submit a pre-determination to your insurer so you know what your plan is expected to cover before you decide. Payment plans from third-party financing companies are available to spread the cost over time.
