All-on-X is a full-arch tooth replacement that restores an entire upper or lower set of teeth using a small number of strategically placed dental implants. Instead of restoring every tooth individually, the implants act as new tooth roots, and a single fixed bridge is secured onto them. Because the teeth are anchored to the jaw, they do not move while you eat or speak, and there is nothing to take out at night.
This makes All-on-X a fixed alternative to removable options. For patients who currently wear loose plates or are considering full-mouth dental implants, it offers stability and comfort that removable appliances cannot match and helps preserve jawbone health over the long term.
Years ago, replacing an entire arch often required eight to ten implants, bone grafting, long healing times, and multiple surgeries. It was excellent treatment, but very involved. The All-on-Four concept changed that. By placing four strategically angled implants, many patients could receive fixed teeth in a single visit, and treatment became faster, more predictable, and more affordable.
All-on-X takes that idea one step further. The “X” stands for the number of implants your case actually needs. Some patients do well with four. Others benefit from five or six implants, which is why all-on-6 dental implants are sometimes recommended when bone volume or bite forces require additional support. Rather than forcing every patient into the same formula, North York Smile Centre plans each case individually. We are not treating teeth. We are treating people.
For suitable candidates, hopeless teeth can be removed and implants placed with a fixed provisional bridge fitted on the same day. This teeth-in-a-day approach means you never have to leave the office without teeth. Infection and decay are addressed, the bite is balanced, and you walk out with a full smile the same day as your surgery.
One of the biggest advantages of treatment at North York Smile Centre is our fully digital workflow. We plan every case digitally before surgery begins, which improves precision, shortens appointments, and often lowers overall costs. Our process includes:
See every detail of your bone structure before treatment begins, allowing for accurate implant planning and predictable results.
Capture a precise 3D model of your mouth without traditional impressions for a faster, more comfortable patient experience.
Preview your new smile before surgery and customize every detail to match your facial features and treatment goals.
Produce precise provisional teeth on-site to improve fit, reduce wait times, and streamline your treatment.
Every patient has different goals and different budgets. Some want a beautiful, functional smile, while others seek the highest level of aesthetics and long-term durability. That is why we offer three levels of treatment. Every patient receives the same careful digital planning and surgical expertise. The difference is in the restorative materials, not the quality of care.
| Treatment Level | Price / Arch | Financing | Restoration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | From $19,995 | From $400 / month* | PMMA hybrid restoration |
| Core (Most Popular) | From $24,995 | From $465 / month* | Titanium-reinforced restoration |
| Premium | From $29,995 | From $594 / month* | Full zirconia restoration |
Many patients are surprised to learn that treatment can start from around $400 per month on approved credit. If you have been putting this off because you assumed the cost was out of reach, our financing options may make your new smile more attainable than you expect. Patients with public coverage can also ask how the Canadian Dental Care Plan applies to their treatment.
If any of the following sound familiar, All-on-X may be right for you:
If so, you are not alone. These are conversations we have every day.
All-on-X is frequently chosen by patients tired of implant-supported dentures that still feel removable, as well as those exploring permanent or snap-in dentures and wanting something truly fixed. Age alone is rarely a barrier, and modern planning means that even patients with significant bone loss can often be treated successfully. If your teeth are failing but not yet lost, our pages on dental crowns and dental bridges explain other restorative options we may discuss during your consultation.
Full-arch implant treatment is one of the most rewarding things we do, and it takes an experienced, coordinated team to do it well. At North York Smile Centre, patients benefit from:

Your full-arch treatment at North York Smile Centre is led by experienced clinicians with a focus on implant surgery and cosmetic dentistry:
You do not have to keep living with teeth that make you unhappy. Whether you are dealing with failing teeth, missing teeth, or dentures you can never quite trust, All-on-X offers a fixed, natural-looking solution planned around you. If you have been thinking about this for years, there is no need to wait another five years. North York Smile Centre offers a no-obligation consultation where you can ask questions and learn your options.
Most patients are surprised by how comfortable treatment is. We offer IV sedation, so you can be fully relaxed during your procedure, and post-operative discomfort is typically well managed.
Age alone is rarely a barrier. What matters most is your overall health and bone health, both of which we assess with CBCT imaging during your consultation.
For suitable candidates, failing teeth can be removed, and a fixed provisional bridge can be placed on the same day. Final restorations follow after a healing period as the implants integrate.
Bone loss does not automatically rule you out. Digital planning and strategically angled implants allow us to treat many patients who were previously told they were not candidates.
Dental implants are designed as a long-term solution. With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, full-arch implants can last many years.
Yes. Financing is available on approved credit, with monthly payments starting at around $400, depending on your treatment level.
Yes. Many patients choose to treat both arches, and this can often be planned as part of the same overall treatment journey.
Dentures are removable and rest on the gums, while All-on-X teeth are fixed to dental implants. That means no adhesives, no slipping, and a bite that feels far more natural.
