All-on-4 / All-on-X Implants in Kitchener-Waterloo
A Fixed Full-Arch Smile — Restored in a Single Day
If you have loose dentures, multiple missing teeth, or failing dental work, All-on-4 / All-on-X implant-supported teeth may be an option to discuss. This full-arch approach uses a small number of strategically placed implants to support a fixed set of teeth, which can improve stability compared with removable dentures and does not rely on adhesives.
At North Arbor Dental in Kitchener-Waterloo, we offer All-on-X dental implant consultations with digital treatment planning and implant placement when appropriate. If you’re considering restoring one arch or both, we’ll review your options and create a plan to help improve comfort, chewing, and speech with an implant-supported solution.
Schedule an All-on-X consultation in Kitchener-Waterloo to review your options and get a clear, personalized treatment plan.
What Is All-on-4 / All-on-X?
All-on-4 refers to a treatment concept where a full set of teeth is anchored using just four implants. All-on-X is a flexible variation that uses 4 to 6 implants, depending on your bone structure and clinical needs.
This system is ideal for:
- Complete tooth loss (upper or lower arch)
- Patients with severe bone loss or failing teeth
- Loose or ill-fitting traditional dentures
- Those seeking a fixed, long-lasting solution
Unlike removable dentures, All-on-4 or All-on-X restorations are non-removable and custom-designed for aesthetics, function, and comfort.

Our Process: From Consultation to Full Smile
Step 1: Digital Evaluation
We use iTero 5D scanning and digital X-rays to assess bone, alignment, and structure.
Step 2: Customized Treatment Plan
We determine if you need All-on-4 or All-on-X, plan implant positions, and review your desired smile design.
Step 3: Surgical Placement
Implants are placed using digitally guided surgery. In many cases, we deliver a temporary fixed or removable set of teeth the same day.
Step 4: Healing and Final Prosthesis
After a few months of healing, we replace your temporary bridge or denture with a final custom set of teeth designed for long-term durability and appearance.
Patients undergoing extractions can often have them performed at the same time. Learn more about our tooth extraction services.

What’s the difference between All-on-4 and All-on-X?
Both replace full arches of teeth, but All-on-X uses 4 to 6 implants. The extra implants can increase support and durability for certain patients.
Can I eat normally with All-on-4?
Many patients can return to a wider range of foods after healing. Results vary, but we will guide you on what to eat during each stage of treatment.
Are All-on-4 teeth removable?
No. All-on-4 teeth are fixed to the implants and can only be removed by your dentist. If you prefer a removable option, implant-supported dentures could be a more affordable way to improve denture stability significantly.
How long does the treatment take?
Most patients receive a full set of temporary teeth on the same day as surgery. Final teeth are placed after 3 to 6 months of healing.
What is the success rate?
Dental implant success rates are commonly reported as over 95% in many studies. With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, implant-supported restorations often function well for many years, but outcomes and longevity vary from person to person.
