All-on-4 and All-on-X Dental Implants in London, Ontario

If you are missing most of your teeth, or you are tired of dentures that slip, full arch implants may be the answer. At Luka Dental Care in London, Ontario, we offer All-on-X implants, also called All-on-4 or full arch implants. Your new teeth are attached to four or more implants, so you never take them out.

Full arch treatment is one of the dental implants in London, Ontario we offer. We plan each case with 3D scans, and your new teeth are made in our own dental lab on Aldersbrook Road.

What Is All-on-X?

All-on-X is an advanced technique that uses four or more dental implants to support a full arch of prosthetic teeth. Instead of placing an implant for every missing tooth, we strategically position a few implants at specific angles to provide maximum support and stability.

Once the implants are placed, a fixed set of custom teeth is attached. It restores your full smile and lets you speak and chew without the slipping that comes with removable dentures.

The “X” refers to the number of implants used, which may vary depending on your bone health and anatomy (e.g., All-on-4, All-on-5, or All-on-6).

Who Is a Candidate for Full Arch Implants?

You may be a great candidate for All-on-X if:

You’ve lost most or all of your upper or lower teeth

You’re frustrated with loose or uncomfortable dentures

You want a more permanent solution that feels like natural teeth

You have sufficient jawbone density or are open to bone grafting

You’re in good overall health and free from active gum infections

At Luka Dental Care in London, ON, we’ll evaluate your smile with 3D imaging and a comprehensive exam to see if All-on-X is the right fit.

What to Expect: How the All-on-X Process Works

Here’s what a typical All-on-X treatment journey looks like at Luka Dental Care:

01
Consultation and Planning

We begin with a consultation, digital scans, and CBCT imaging to evaluate bone density and map out where the implants should go. We’ll talk through your goals, answer questions, and walk you through the steps.

02
Preparation and Extractions

If any remaining teeth need to be removed, we’ll plan for that as part of your treatment. We also determine whether bone grafting or a sinus lift is needed to ensure long-term success.

03
Implant Placement

Using guided surgical techniques and digital planning tools, we place 4 to 6 implants per arch. These are tilted at specific angles to maximize support and avoid anatomical structures like nerves or sinuses.

04
Same-Day Temporary Teeth

In most cases, we place a custom temporary set of teeth on the same day, so you’ll walk out with a full smile.

05
Healing and Integration

Over the next 3 to 6 months, your implants fuse with your bone (osseointegration). You’ll wear your temporary teeth while healing.

06
Final Prosthetic

Once the implants are fully integrated, we replace the temporary teeth with your final, custom-crafted restoration, built to last and to look natural.

Benefits of All-on-X Implants

Patients like full arch implants because they can eat and smile without worrying about their teeth. Here are the main benefits:

Leave the office with a full smile on day one

Stability & Strength
Eat what you love without worrying about slipping or shifting

Preserves Bone
Implants stimulate the jaw to prevent further bone loss

No Adhesives or Removals

Comparing All-on-X to Other Tooth Replacement Options

Choosing how to replace missing teeth is a big decision, and we believe you deserve to understand your options. Here's how All-on-X compares:

New Patient Icon
Traditional Dentures

Traditional dentures come out, and they can slip or click when you talk or eat. Most need adhesive and must be taken out each day to clean. Because they do not stimulate the jawbone, they can lead to bone loss, and they usually need replacing every 5 to 7 years.

Settings Icon
Single Implants or Bridges

Single implants or bridges are often ideal for replacing one to three missing teeth but are not suitable for full-arch restoration. In cases involving multiple missing teeth, they usually require several surgeries and extended treatment timelines. Some solutions may still involve removable appliances, depending on the patient’s condition and the treatment plan.

Helping Hands Icon
All-on-X Implants

All-on-X implants provide a fixed, non-removable full arch of teeth that function and feel like natural teeth. In many cases, they allow for same-day placement of new teeth, offering immediate results. This approach helps stimulate the jawbone, reducing the risk of future bone loss. Compared to placing individual implants for each tooth, All-on-X requires fewer implants and less surgery, making it a more efficient and comprehensive solution.

Healing, Adjusting, and Living With Full Arch Implants

Healing from full arch implant surgery happens in stages, and most patients find the process easier than they expected. Immediately after surgery, you’ll receive a temporary arch of teeth that looks natural and allows for normal speaking and light function. Swelling, mild discomfort, and limited chewing are common during the first few days, and we’ll guide you through a soft food diet to protect the healing sites.

Over the next 1 to 6 weeks, your implants will begin integrating with the jawbone, a process known as osseointegration. During this time, you’ll return for follow-up visits so we can monitor your healing and answer any questions. From months 2 to 6, your jawbone continues to strengthen and bond with the implants, and you’ll gradually return to a more regular diet.

At the 4 to 6 month mark, we place your final prosthetic teeth, made to match your natural smile and built to last. Living with full arch implants feels a lot like having your own teeth again. Many patients say they forget they have implants at all.

I spent years covering my mouth when I smiled. Dentures didn’t work for me, and I was losing hope. The team at Luka Dental Care gave me back my confidence with full arch implants. The whole experience from the scan to the final teeth was amazing.

What Full Arch Implants Cost in London, Ontario

Full arch implants are a big investment, and the price is different for every mouth. It depends on whether you need one arch or both, and how many implants each arch needs. Teeth that have to come out first, or a bone graft, add to the cost.

Before anything starts, we give you a clear plan with the cost of each step, and we help you check what your insurance plan pays. For a closer look at what moves the price, read how much dental implants cost in Ontario.

Expanded FAQs: What You Should Know About Full Arch Implants

How long does the full All-on-X process take?

From consultation to final prosthetic teeth, most cases take about 4 to 6 months. However, you’ll receive temporary teeth the same day the implants are placed, so you’re never without a smile.

Will I need bone grafting?

Some patients do. The beauty of the All-on-X approach is that angled implants can often avoid areas with low bone density, reducing or eliminating the need for grafting. We’ll determine this with digital imaging during your initial consultation.

How do I clean All-on-X implants?

Daily brushing and water flossing around the bridge and gum line are essential. We’ll give you easy, specific instructions. You’ll also need to visit us for regular checkups and professional cleanings.

Can I sleep with my teeth in?

Yes. All-on-X implants are fixed and don’t come out. Unlike dentures, they stay securely in place 24/7.

Will I look different?

In a good way! Full arch implants restore natural tooth height, lip support, and facial balance that may have been lost with missing teeth or ill-fitting dentures.

Are full arch implants worth the investment?

Absolutely. While All-on-X is a significant upfront investment, it often ends up being more cost-effective than years of denture replacements, relines, adhesives, and repairs. Plus, you get your comfort, confidence, and quality of life back.
