All-on-4 & Full-Arch Dental Implants in Kelowna
A full set of new teeth — often in a single day
If you’re missing most or all of your teeth in an upper or lower jaw — or facing full extractions — All-on-4 and full-arch dental implants replace the entire arch with a fixed, natural-looking set of teeth anchored on dental implants. Unlike a removable denture, they stay put: you eat, speak, and smile without adhesives or taking anything out.
At Kelowna Dental Centre, this is often done as Teeth in a Day — your implants are placed and a fixed set of teeth attached the same day, so you don’t leave without teeth. And you don’t need a referral to an oral surgeon: the full process — consultation, 3D planning, any needed extractions, implant placement, and your new teeth — is done in-house, by one team, in one place, with IV sedation available for your comfort.
All-on-4 vs. All-on-X — what’s the difference?
- All-on-4 anchors a full fixed arch on four implants — efficient and well-suited to many patients.
- All-on-X uses more implants (five, six, or more) when your bone and bite call for additional support.
The right number is determined from a 3D scan and exam — we plan around your anatomy rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Fixed teeth or a removable overdenture?
Full-arch implant solutions range from removable implant-supported overdentures, which snap on and off, to fixed bridges that only your dentist removes. We focus on fixed full-arch restorations for patients who want teeth that feel and function like their own, and we’ll talk through a removable option if it’s a better fit for your goals and budget.
Are you a candidate?
Good candidates are adults missing most or all of the teeth in an arch, facing extractions, or struggling with a loose conventional denture. A consultation with a 3D scan tells us whether implants are right for you and whether any bone grafting is needed first — and we’ll give you a straight answer, including if implants aren’t the best fit.
What the process looks like
- Consultation & 3D scan — we map your bone, plan implant positions, and design your new smile.
- Treatment plan & quote — exactly what’s involved, the timeline, and the cost, up front.
- Procedure day — any needed extractions, implant placement, and a fixed set of temporary teeth the same day, under IV sedation.
- Healing — the implants integrate with the bone over the following months.
- Final teeth — your permanent fixed arch is fitted.
Comfortable, and all in one place
Because everything happens at Kelowna Dental Centre — surgery and restoration by the same team — there’s no being shuffled between an oral surgeon and a separate restorative dentist. IV sedation keeps you relaxed throughout. Full-arch implants are a core focus at Kelowna Dental Centre — making us one of the highest-volume full-arch implant providers in Canada.
Cost & financing
The investment depends on whether you’re treating one arch or two, the number of implants, and whether grafting is needed — so we give you a personalized quote after your scan, never a vague “it depends.” We also offer in-house financing to spread the cost.
Frequently asked questions
Is it permanent?
The implants provide a permanent foundation in the jaw, and the fixed teeth are durable and maintained much like natural teeth.
Does it hurt?
The procedure is done under IV sedation, and we’ll guide you through what to expect during recovery.
Can I really get teeth the same day?
In many cases, yes — you leave with a fixed set of temporary teeth the same day, with your permanent teeth fitted after healing.
Do I need a referral?
No — we handle the full process in-house, including complex cases.
How many implants will I need?
Typically four per arch (All-on-4), and sometimes more (All-on-X), based on your 3D scan.
How much does it cost?
It varies by case — we provide a personalized quote after your consultation, and financing is available.
